    Hong Kong has more to offer than just the one big city. There are many outskirt areas, mountains, beaches and more to explore around the city of Hong Kong. Join me on a journey to the southern end of Hong Kong Island, to a small town called Stanley. Getting there was quite easy: I just took one bus and after 45 min I arrived in a place that was very different compared to the crowded and busy Hong Kong city. Stanley Hong Kong surprised me!

    I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
    You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

    Ken, I watched every single video of your HK trip. I have to say you are a explorer, different angle to see HK from a tourist perspective.

    The facility where the dogs are temporarily parked is interesting, but it also feels a little cruel!
    That alley is actually not the main entrance, but it also gives that noodle shop an extra feature!
    There are many ways to make black vinegar. The easiest way to make it is to use low-salt soy sauce for secondary fermentation.
    Its benefits can not only reduce weight and reduce visceral fat, but also promote blood circulation and eliminate edema.

      Just want to comment the dog parking is a place for them to let dogs wait for them safely while people shop in the grocery store (since dogs aren't allowed inside) Some domestic helpers take the dogs for walks while going to shop for groceries. I guess the name "dog parking" can seem a little weird to some 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

    • @giannishen
      @giannishen Před rokem +10

      ​ @Jess C "dog parking" is the official name they use, so that's a bit cruel! In other countries, people don't go shopping and take their dogs out.
      It is illegal to leave dogs out of sight, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents if they are left alone outside!

    Hi Ken
    I looked at all your Hong Kong excursions and it occurred to me that I was in Hong Kong for a short time in 2008 and visited the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Hong Kong, the whole trip including the drive there was very nice and the view from up there is a unique experience ! I think that I will go there again with my wife to make a video for our channel because I didn't have much to do with photos and film at the time and that only developed with travelling

    I have watched every single one of your Hong Kong videos and love it. You should try hiking! Hong Kong has so many nice hikes. If you want a hike competely seculded from the city and surrounded by mountains, try hiking in Sai Kung. If you want really nice views of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, Lion's Rock is a must-go, but it can be crowded. An alternative is Beacon Hill and is just west of Lion's Rock and has little no people and argubsly a better view because you can also see Sha Tin behind. Tai Tam and its reservoirs are also very nice, and is a very easy and gentle hike. Most of these places can be reached by a combination of MTR and bus. Any questions, please ask!
