Hey Alux, you can only buy alcohol if you are 18 or above in Hong Kong.

Hong Konger here :)
I have to admit I'm pretty impressed because I didn't know some of these facts, but also I have to point out a mistake in fact number one. Hong Kong does mean 'fragrance harbour' in Chinese but that's because a long time ago Hong Kong used to be a ship port for wood, and that type of wood gives off a fragrance smell, not because the water is sweet or anything. :)

It annoys me so much that the shots of the Victoria harbor view are inverted.

Hong Kong is not the most expensive place to live  I've lived there and I found it much cheaper than most 1st world cities.   Of course if you live like a tourist it's expensive.  But food and transport is very affordable.  Rent is high, but you can find reasonable places.  I used to live in Wan Chai and my place was small, but affordable.

I'm a Hong Kong people and I love HK forever!!

[bradhaughton]

99% on time that's better than New York transportation system which kind of sucks

I live in HK. Fengshui is not taken seriously. Most buildings don't skip out the 4th floor.

[ShibaInu-zhng]

The so many special characterisrics in HK, as a HongKonger, I will recommend food, natural environments and architechture, not the skycrappers, but the old British buildings and the shophouses. Also, as HK is hilly, there are so many beautiful nature parks and hiking trails in HK with spectacular views.
Also, actually Feungshui isn't be taken as that serious in HK, just depends on people and the estate developer😀
Thanks for introducing my home tho😂😂

I was born in Hong Kong, so was my grandfather and many of my uncles, aunties and cousins , I would always considered myself as Chinese, never british.

I am a HongKonger and I proud to be one of Hong Kong. Despite the abovementioned information about Hong Kong aren't that precise, those information do help people take a briefly look on Hong Kong. Owing to the fact that many ppl confuse Hong Kong , China or TaiWan. It is a great idea to have such video to show the world on the characteristics of Hong Kong. BTW, Hong Kong didn't have that much Japanese culture as the brutal rule is only 44 months (long for war), yet we do enjoy japan's culture now. Perhaps you may make some video about the downside of Hong Kong, to view Hong Kong the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Who those once lived in Hong Kong would realise living in Hong Kong is challenging and frustrating. All in all, impressive video though.

Your videos are really high quality. Kudos!

The city of my dreams, Ive been there 5 times and I stiil cant get enough, Id def love living long term in Hong Kong.

[Rayschall]

I lived in Hong Kong for 20 years and I still love Hong Kong but unfortunately it's expensive that I can't afford. You must be rich to have an average comfortable life in Hong Kong. Edit: Hong Kong is the most sophisticated and international town (more than Tokyo) in Asia! And speediest. Everything goes very fast and Hong Kongese think and calculate very fast! I LOVE HONG KONG!

[Dhwu]

I think the first one is wrong, the reason why the name is Hongkong is because they use to import spice from Hongkong, and spice in Chinese is pronounce as smell good

[leonche]

I live in Hong Kong. I am an Expat. It is only that expensive if you live in Downtown Central. It is like basing all of New York City real estate prices on Manhattan, when more people live in the Bronx and Queens. And you say Hong Kong weirdly.

0:41 it wasn't "occupied by the British"'; it was de-facto British land and territory during its years under the Crown. It also didn't become "independent" from British rule because it was handed straight to Chinese sovereignty, so it was never independent from anyone.
