You forgot to mention that this city has one of the worst wealth gap on Earth, with THE most expensive housing on Earth. Millions of people living in miserable conditions, anything from a family of three living in 300 ft. apartments (that's called lower middle class), tiny closet-sized apartments or literal cages
The one who is poor is the lazy one. In hongkong no job discrimination even a mongoloid can have a job like in Mcdonald many of their server don't have pleasing personality not just like here in Phil's. You must be good pleasing personality before you can be one of their server
Highway Robbery! Better stay at Chung King Mansions or any B&B then buy a Fake Rolex and a fake whatever! Then hit the town like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in “Rush Hour” Head to a “ Dai Pai Dong” and stuff your face with Authentic HKG grub! Even the Michelin style Restaurant seem classy ! If you really have §160,000 head to the Island and Stanley to do shopping , then Jade Market, Temple Street and hike to the Peak and Walking Trails to Aberdeen ! Man live life Girl!!!😊🤔🤟🏼🇨🇦👍👏🏼‼️
Something i really don't understand about getting hotel rooms with gyms, huge flat screen tv, etc. I mean if you are a tourist, you are supposed to be enjoying "outside" and not the "inside of your hotel". I would rather pay good money to be surrounded by happy people, strong wine and beautiful women.
Part of tourism is enjoying good service & amenities. There are many weekend "tourists" who book hotels over the weekend even in their own city just to relax & forget about their busy weekdays.
Agreed. You go there for tourism not stay in the hotel all day long. Go outside, enjoy street foods, street market. Go to some landmarks, that's all about.
The money they pay for a suite room in thoese fancy hotels is actually equal to or even more than what took my parents their whole lifetime to earn for a little apartment of our own. Such a welth gap and such a world!
People often comment on why HKers are always talking about money and so materialistic. It’s because they are exposed to some of the most obscene display of wealth AND the most gut wrenching display of poverty daily. How important having money is is literally in your face 24/7. If you live there, I think it would be hard to not develop a serious fear of being poor
HK the selling price of a car park , $2 Mil in NT , $3 Mil in Kowloon , $4 Million in HK island . Listen ,this is just a car park seling price . Not a condo price !
Lol. It is a yanky made show....you can't expect too much.....they tried their best to claim whatever they can find is the best.....nevermind the truth. 🤣🤣🤣
"no menu, to get a drink you'll have to describe your favourite things to the bartenders" that's already how I order drinks because I'm oblivious hahaha
You gotta love these vids, it's like saying everyone in NYC drives around in maybachs. Only a few Hong Kongers do this crazy crap, most are just millionaires that work regular jobs and take a crowded subway like everyone else ..
Hong Kong has so much to offer for cheap, you can go up to the 55th floor of the IFC for free if you bring your passport, junks are usually relatively inexpensive for a good day out on a boat, you can go to Chi Lin Nunnery, Choi Hung Estate, Montane Mansion, Ping Shek Estate, you can climb mountains (Ma On Shan is a favourite of mine), you can also go to the islands such as Cheung Chau and Peng Chau (I actually ran into Chow Yun-fat in Lamma Island... Really nice guy, took selfies with us and all). You can take the Tram, and explore the street level of HK without needing to walk, markets - tons of markets (I'd avoid the jade market, lots of it isnt real jade and the sellers tend to be very grabby) - if you like technology - SHAM SHUI PO!! golden computer arcade has TONS (and I'm talking 2 floors kind of tons) of electronics, gadgets, wires, entire laptops. Avoid the Taxis if you can since they're very expensive compared to buses and trams and the Star Ferry.
All i know is my parents were posted in Hong Kong way back late30s i was not even born but i grew up seeing all the gorgeous silverware and an an exquisite fireplace screen studded with jade stones and a car inthose days the wheels had spokes a perfect vintage!! I was so fascinted seeing those pics inblack and white 🌹🌹
Someone commented that good dimsum is at the cheap places ! Which I agree because I went to shum sui poh, and I and my family went there twice to a same shop for breakfast, all of us were satisfied! To add on.....best Cheong fun is in Hennessy Road in Wan Chai! The shop is call Zhong Kei. I love hk, though it's small , but very vibrant and I love the scenery while hopping island on a ferry! And new territory are many mountains and hills with apartments nearby! Go to Mah On Shan to view the bful seaside while walking on jogging trail that km's long!!! Finally year end it weather is bful not too cold! If you gave me a choice between New York or HK, I prefer HK! Yes! Property $$$$ is insane! I agree! Probably I grown up with HK movies , and I like their food, and culture! Though there are some rude people but I had meet people I never meet in my place on courtesy ! Last but not least it's SAFE !!! Btw! I am from Malaysia.
Just look at HK - not this rich, modern side; not the bank buildings and towering glass skyscrapers, but the shitty squalid conditions that most people from HK live in. The Gov are literally ignoring this problem where people pay so much fucking money for a small apartment with 2 rooms. And yet there are places like these and people who visit here with too much money.
@@rice.6520 that is the government's fault. & if it is a democracy then it the voting people's fault. If it is not a voting democracy then it is still the people who chose to stay. Many other democracies were born because the people wanted to be able to choose their leaders, either civil war or protests or both.
hk apartments cost a lot, my apartment costs 11.8 million hk dollars almost 2 million usd, its hard to belive that its this expensive when you get such a small place
Not sure why some people find these expenditures "disgusting." These wealthy people, who already have beneficial capital investments in various industries, are literally creating tens-of-thousands of jobs in their drive to live very well (in a hedonistic sense, since financially poor people can live very well in other ways, too).
Tomi Adewole The rich cant create things at scale without the people who work for them. And scale is what makes them rich. If they invent something, they should get something more, but not thousands of times more than the people helping them scale. People like you have an inferiority complex or serf mentality about rich parachuting in to give everyone jobs because you obviously dont value your own work and contributions.

I got a little homesick when I saw the Dim Sum in this video. so I went to my kitchen and took out the frozen Chinese food my daughter prepared especially for me.

I had the chance to stay in The Peninsula Hotel and take a ride to the Airport from the Hotel in the Hotels Rolls Royce car, couple of years ago. It was an amazing experience but was very costly . Mahbubar Rahman
Long King Heen restaurant should open a branch in high end hotels in Manila like Shangrila or Hyatt City of Dreams or at Conrad Hotel,they have a market there
same here, I love learning more about people and their experiences. I grew up in HK and some people I met, usually very wealthy, are just plain rude (except a couple of people that I have met such as Gerald Chan and Chow Yun-fat). Now living back in my home town, Glasgow, I find that the less fortunate of people are actually the least judgemental and they actually listen to what you're saying and they don't criticise you. The rich ones, again except a few, are normally very snobby where I live and it can just get to the point of being pathetic
Some day in the near future, you might be able to step on to the moon directly from atop the terraces of these tall buildings. How is that for an experience?!
I stayed at the Penninsula for my 40th , harbour suite , airport Rolls and a helicopter city tour - fabulous experience , but I'm not ultra rich - so my point is it's not that extreme in pricing
A house built for selfish people. The same amount of sq ft of space would be more precious to some families in need rather than just a few selfish greedy people. F the elites.
I just cancelled my trip due to the gang violence. I was really looking forward to return but those gangs with sticks beating up people in the subway and escalators was horrific.
good choice. Hong Kong isn't safe anymore, gov outsourced dirty work to gangs and police is mistreating citizen with brutality instead of to serve and protect.
I was there during that, the university I grew up in (CUHK) actually got seiged a few weeks ago, my dad still lives there. It was still ok to go outside after the triads attacked in Yuen Long since at the time it was an isolated incident and where I stayed (Sha Tin/Tai Po) was still relatively safe, going into the city was 50/50, you could still walk around but you had to be careful of tensions rising. Obviously I would not say that my area is safe anymore, especially since Wo Shing Wo have become a bit more active there, and violence is rising more and more.
bro hk is the safest city I'm an expat who was born there but studying abroad rn and I can gaurantee you even as someone living there in those turbulent times hk was completely safe for the expat and the land of the free. all time favourite city (and I have been to 35+ countries). no where on earth like it anyone saying its not safe bought into the fake news crap
In life in some instances. Some people live in too much luxury and some live in too much poverty. Am lucky enough to live just beyond in bet. these living standards.
so after seeing this video is enough experience for me. who really need to pay for expensive dim sum or 160K wine when they'll turn into shit a few hours later. doesnt matter if it's a bowl of rice or world class cuisines they all become poop. ill just feel bad eating them while half the population dont even have 2 meals a day

I dated a Hong Kong millionaire for a brief period. He owned multiple properties in Kowloon. Our dinner dates can range from $1,000 - $10,000. And when I visit, he would always get me a penthouse for about $5,000 a night and it was nothing for him.
Peace Out Jealous much? In Asian culture its normal to be arranged to date successful people. Parents want their child to secure a successful future with a successful partner that is either equally successful as them or more successful.
Wow what's with all the jealous and stupid POS calling someone a whore or hooker just for dating someone that is successful and wealthy. There's absolutely nothing wrong for being successful in life, learn to accept it as a fact, dipshits.
I don't mind it as long as they got their riches legally. They can't take their money with them, when they go. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor, just don't put your money under a mattress, make it work for others. As one Texan millionaire saied, "Money is like manure, put it in one place and it will smell; distribute it where it will do some good".
Everything I hate in a country is in Hong Kong: raining all the time, conscription, long working hours, and expensive. Same applies for Malaysia and Singapore
$3000 for 7 minutes, that is quite a mark up for a chopper that rent for say $1000 ? an hour in US. In the US, almost no one will ride on this for the rip off price. $3000 US is what it roughly cost to rent a mid size business jet for an hour. This video more accurately describe those with more money than brains. As a native of HK, I know I can get 90% of the enjoyment for under 10% of the cost. Often, the best of something is not necessary the most expensive. You want to buy the quality, but not the hype.

@@Big-Show1 you need to pay for these cages at a staggering price of 3000 hkd/month, that's almost 400 usd/month for a cage. It's not free you know
Hong kong is like New York its a dog eat dog world.
@@Beetleman20 $170-190 USD P/M is more like it....
@@Big-Show1 do the conversion 8 hkd is 1 usd, 400 usd is just 3200 hkd
“No money no talk” I hear it all the time growing up back home in HK. I live in California over 23 years now never heard this word again.

Ace Delizo when you earn you some real tangible wealth, you‘ll understand why luxury and lifestyle is all about the amenities :)
You will only understand that when you become super rich.
Meanwhile, there are still Hong Kong residents living in cage apartments and homes.

I dated a Hong Kong millionaire for a brief period. He owned multiple properties in Kowloon. Our dinner dates can range from $1,000 - $10,000. And when I visit, he would always get me a penthouse for about $5,000 a night and it was nothing for him.
Peace Out Hater alert, haha
Hooker alert !!
Peace Out
Jealous much? In Asian culture its normal to be arranged to date successful people.
Parents want their child to secure a successful future with a successful partner that is either equally successful as them or more successful.
Wow what's with all the jealous and stupid POS calling someone a whore or hooker just for dating someone that is successful and wealthy. There's absolutely nothing wrong for being successful in life, learn to accept it as a fact, dipshits.

I don't mind it as long as they got their riches legally. They can't take their money with them, when they go. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor, just don't put your money under a mattress, make it work for others. As one Texan millionaire saied, "Money is like manure, put it in one place and it will smell; distribute it where it will do some good".
Anyone recognise the helicopter pilot? He's the actor Michael Wong. So he DOES have a skill!
Experiences that money can't buy? Then why would their be a figure on it???
Excellent Hong Kong
Everything I hate in a country is in Hong Kong: raining all the time, conscription, long working hours, and expensive. Same applies for Malaysia and Singapore
ronki23 conscription? Into the military?
Where are u from!? Don't mind asking!
$3000 for 7 minutes, that is quite a mark up for a chopper that rent for say $1000 ? an hour in US. In the US, almost no one will ride on this for the rip off price. $3000 US is what it roughly cost to rent a mid size business jet for an hour. This video more accurately describe those with more money than brains. As a native of HK, I know I can get 90% of the enjoyment for under 10% of the cost. Often, the best of something is not necessary the most expensive. You want to buy the quality, but not the hype.
This is a good video.
The heli pilot is actor micheal wong
Wealthy city? Lot of young people still living in rooms less than 6 sq m,but paying premium rent.
Alternative title: "Ways you could never travel in HongKong"
This video is recommended by youtube after a BBC video talking about the cage home/ housing cost situation in hong kong. WTF google?
