Arriving to Hong Kong was NOT What I Expected! 🇭🇰

Arriving to Hong Kong was not what I expected! In this video we will be flying to Hong Kong and I will be showing you guys the entire process! I will be going over how to get a SIM card in Hong Kong, how to take the train to the Hong Kong city center from the airport, and I will also be going over the requirements needed to enter Hong Kong in 2023. If you're wondering how it is to enter Hong Kong and how it is to enter Hong Kong as an American than this is the right video for you! I hope you enjoy!

I know this is an old video, but seeing you walk through the airport at Hong Kong so excited like a child on Christmas is the reason I watch these videos! Living my traveling life through you, man!

[clsamarasinghe]

Everything that the person you met at the airport said about you is absolutely right ... your English is easy to understand and you're genuinely interested in helping people whose struggling in life which we witnessed in Sri Lanka..God bless you..

Chris, Hong Kong is on my bucket list. I will be taking notes from your videos. Keep doing what you are doing, you are an inspiration!

For travellers who would like a cheaper option to the city, you could also follow the signs to the airport bus, which usually is about half or 1/3 of the price of the train. Not only is it cheaper, it also takes you directly to more districts with less transfers needed. For example, you could take the A11 bus to Causeway Bay directly for about US$5.4, where many hotels and shopping malls are located. If you happen to stay in Mong Kok, where the Ladies' Market and street food are located, you could take the A21 bus for about US$4.4. The drawback is that the frequency is usually lower than the train, and some buses have yet resumed full day service, so ask and check before travel.

Dude this video moved me. I just found your channel last month. (I was in Europe and didn’t want to return to the US). Hong Kong is special to me and I’ve wanted to go since I was a child. It’s a lot to put here but I need to go for my mom. I love your videos and your vulnerability in the beginning. You’ve inspired me and I’m booking tickets. Maybe that’ll be my first YouTube vid and I quit my job and become a digital nomad, too!!

Loved this video. It almost reminded me of the first time I visited HK in 2000 with so much excitement. Been there 9 times. I last went in 2017. I hope to go back for my 10th visit in the next year. And yes the public transportation system is excellent. It sucks that here in Southern California we have to drive so much and deal with so much traffic. I look forward to the rest of the series and your meeting with Virginia Chan.

Glad to hear that you got a great first impression of Hong Kong! As a local, I would say that if you don't live in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui or Tsing Yi, which are near to the Airport Express stops, it might be a better choice to take a Airport Bus. They connect to all major districts and suburbs, so you can reduce a lot of changes. For instance, you can hop on the A29 bus and swich to local bus at Choi Hung to your hotel.

Looking forward to your Hong Kong videos 💪 I miss that city, can't wait to return

1) I love watching your journey getting to 🇭🇰.
2) I never knew about Travel Pass, but because of your tip in this video, I am joining.
3) I hate being thirsty on flights too.
4) I also never knew you could use an iPhone and link a card to it to pay for stuff by just tapping your phone.
5) Great video!!

Chris this is the first time I saw this HK video. I was born in HK and have been lucky enough to go back about 6 times since I grew up in the USA. Glad you are going there and I am grateful for your heartfelt words and you are doing a great job. NEVER give up!

[willpeters]

I am glad you love HK. Please share our friendiness to everyone !

Bro, really enjoyed this series. I live here... from Canada... it's been rough the past 3 years. Great to see some positive content about the city again!

[reneurzua]

Good shit Chris. I’m looking forward to your Hong Kong series. Also looking forward to your future travel destinations. Coming from southern cali myself, good to see my people getting out there and making it out of the hood, if you know, you know. I just got back from Taiwan, thanks to you for being an inspiration to just get up and go. Take it easy bro and take care always

[amazingflyarea]

I think you are one of the nicest people in the world. keep it up chris. I found your channel half a year ago and have been watching all your videos since then.

[MissVee_NYC]

Chris, here in NY, we are given a code for Uber also. Happy journeying to Hong Kong, and I am right here with you.✈️

[umaninstrumentalityprject]

Heres a cheeky tip: its much faster to take MTR most the time, if your staying for a bit longer or want a nice souvenir, you can go into pretty much any MTR station and look for the info booth and buy something called "octopus card" for about 200HKD (£20). With this card you can put money into it to travel, pay for food or pretty much anywhere with octopus reader. I think the max you can put in at once is like 5000HKD (£500) but its more than enough since a drink is like 13HKD but this is much more convenient for travel and small buys 😁 enjoy hk ppl! (Kid octopus cards are also a thing, under 11yo i think).

[keithbrandon]

Great video Chris. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your natural personality very heart warming. You deserve the praise, support and love that you receive. Look forward to your take on Hong-Kong. Till next time👍👌✌️

[narendeepan]

I have been to Hong Kong airport 4 or 5 times on my way to Minneapolis from Colombo. I always knew Hong Kong is a big city, but the view near your hotel makes me wanna go there. I almost felt Hong Kong like a city that I used to know.

[dandel]

Dood, your little tipsy talk when you were in the lounge was legit, I felt so warm and inspired by your words. Life really is beautiful

[acsunset]

Always love watching your videos. I know I haven’t lately but when I can I do. You’re so genuine & cute!!! I’m so happy for you & how far you’ve come. Let’s go Chris❤️😍🙌🙌
