Alright guys, so in today's video we are going to be sharing some travel tips for Hong Kong

and also letting you know how expensive is Hong Kong?

Yeah, it is quite expensive but there is also some really cool aspects about Hong Kong (香港)

almost unlike any other city we've visited.

There is a plethora of free things to do and budget eats.

Budget eats and also transportation is really cheap.

But we're going to break everything down and let you know the costs for Hong Kong.

Okay so first up let's get started with transportation from the airport in to Kowloon (九龍) or

Right and like our last travel tips video we've got our notes on our computer so you'll

Alright, so the first point we have is arriving by Airport Express.

And that is what we did getting in to Hong Kong.

It is like this really fast train that takes you right in to the city.

You can get off at Kowloon (九龍) or you can go all the way to Hong Kong Island at

And it super efficient, really fast, very comfortable.

Um, in terms of the price so you're looking at a $100 Hong Kong dollars all the way to

Central or you're looking at $90 Hong Kong Dollars to Kowloon station.

Something else important to know is that they have free porters to help you bring on your

We didn't take advantage of that service.

No but if you do have trouble getting your bags on to the train there is someone that

is apparently available to help you do that.

And there is a bus called the a bus system called the Cityflyer and this is how we got

From the city to the airport when we were leaving.

Yeah and prices can range anywhere from 10 Hong Kong Dollars to 48.

Ah, it is going to be closer to the forty eight range if you're leaving anywhere from

the centre of Hong Kong (香港) which is what we did.

And you're looking at like five to six US bucks for that.

This is also quite a comfortable way to get to the airport.

I remember I think it was air conditioned inside.

Yeah, I mean they have a little section for you to put your luggage and yeah uh as long

as there is not a lot of traffic then it is a fairly efficient way to get from the airport

to the city or vice versa from the city back to the airport.

Especially if you want to save a little bit of money.

And the last option that we have here is taking a taxi.

That is anywhere from 250 to 350 Hong Kong dollars.

So you're looking at around forty maybe fifty US bucks to get you in to the city.

And I guess the only time we'd recommend taking that is if you were in maybe like a super

But otherwise why wouldn't you take the first two options.

So for accommodations you have a few different options but we're going to tell you right

This is probably the most expensive city in all of Asia for accommodation.

And you're not going to get a whole lot of space.

If you watched our Hong Kong hotel room tour there is a shot where Sam is like touching

You kind of feel like a giant when you're in a typical Hong Kong hotel room.

But anyways your best bet if you're traveling on a budget would be a hostel.

So the dorm rooms can be anywhere from about 17 to 30 US dollars and the price range reflects

on where you're staying and also the quality of the hostel.

Also you can sometimes get like a really cheap flop house.

Which technically is your own room but it is almost like it is so small it is almost

So you're not going to get a tonne of value at that price range.

That is just like the rock bottom price for accommodations in Hong Kong (香港).

So the next step up would be kind of like a budget or mid-range hotel.

Yeah, I think we were paying around sixty or seventy US dollars.

And it was the nicest place we've ever stayed in Hong Kong.

What was really cool about our particular room is that it had a really good shower.

Our desk was like almost a bit of a joke.

Like I could barely sit down on the stool.

But um yeah this is what you're going to pay and it is usually about 40 US dollars all
