- The final stopover before going home - Hong Kong!
My generation has been very much influenced by Hong Kong culture. We grew up watching HK movies and listening to HK music, yet it was my first time in HK!
So during this short stay I went out to experience its landscape and traditions. I went for villain hitting, grabbed some food, and hopped on the tramway...
It was definitely an unforgettable experience and exciting way back home.
回大陆之前的最后一个中转站，香港🇭🇰！
我们这一代是在香港文化影响下长大，看了太多港剧TVB，听着香港的流行乐，但是我还从来没有去过香港！
所以，趁着这个机会，我来体会一下香港的风情文化，我去“打小人”，坐上了叮叮车看看香港的街景...

The way you filmed Hong Kong is really like our experience of visiting Hong Kong as a tourist. Quite the trip down memory lane for us too.
Your curiosity, passion and respect for local culture is a breath of fresh air! Look forward for more.
Thank you for taking us along on a gentle stroll into the heart of Hong Kong.
I’m glad you show HKC. As a 3rd generation Chinese Canadian, I always heard my grandpa praise his native city. I believe each minority and each province in China has their local culture and their identity. HKC is also different. I grewup hearing my parents cantonese pop song and watch HK drama and evening shows. I visit once HKC. I realize that our Canadian Cantonese recipe are sweeter for the sqme pastry and the American version is usually more salty for the same dumpling. The downside of HKC is how dense the city is… it’s almost suffocating. We were use to more green space … i was pretty much depressed the whole week there. But the pros is the people. I love the sens of humor and self derision of the locaux. They are quite open to western culture and they cherish friendship as much than family. In China, family always come first and may be only aspect of of your social life. I believe two factors may explain it: 1) the tiny living space HKC , most people spend most of their day outside their appartement so they need buddies to hangout 2) the colonisation past had bring wealth for the last century and people can afford to have hobbies and entertainment for a long time now
The big downside is everything is much more expensive than the rest of China. Here we needs to tips like in North America but you don’t in China…but maybe it has change in China since I visited.
I was born in Hong Kong and left for America in 1974. I have visited Hong Kong many times. It is interesting to see a mainlander's view of Hong Kong. I enjoyed your China tour, and I wish I could do more.
Hong Kong is a beautiful place with many unique sides. You showed where ordinary people get their breakfast, do shopping and walk around in their community. You choose to appreciate as you tour the city. Excellent job!
Hi. I just found your channel today. Im loving your travel vlogs so much. I suffer from high anxiety an depression, but your videos has helped me calm down today. I think you make great videos, and its nice to learn more about different places. Sending love from Norway🇳🇴☺️
我真的好喜歡你的頻道，深度旅遊並且解說當地的文化及傳統特色好讚！
而且我好喜歡有配上中英文字幕，可以讓我學習到英文👍非常感謝你製作的這些影片。😊
I very much enjoy watching all of your videos! You are like a friend who travels.
Thank you :)
I think you can tell by now having been to Malaysia for a month......that we malaysian chinese including myself(Cantonese/Hokkien peranakan) are very proud of our chinese heritage and burning with pride of china's achievements at the same time love our country Malaysia dearly:)
I'm afraid your last statement doesn't resonates with the majority of Malaysian Chinese given the state-enforced discrimination and wealth-transfer. 😂
@@maxdc988 smhhhh, he said China's achievements , e.g. look at the positives of the country( inventions, scientists,e.g...) , each country has its faults. Be proud of our fellow chinese. He did not mention the government. Why have to be like that lah.
Watch out buddy.
You talk too much.
Do not TEMPT people into getting into a political discussion.
Honest question wanting honest answer. In the coming bloody war in east asia that the west/nato appears determined to spread to the East, do malaysian-chinese side with china or america? What about singapore-chinese? Looks like singapore (and philippines) gov't have already sided with US. I'm just asking, not challenging (tho actually I do take sides, which side may surprise u given my name).
@@maxdc988 Sadly, there are varying degrees of discrimination and wealth transfer almost everywhere. Especially in the hypocritical, so-called "advanced" economy nations of the west. Their taxes are insane and discrimination is just different and superficially concealed, is all
Nice to see you safely in Hong Kong. It's unfortunate that we Chinese are divided into various nationalities due to the countries we are living in. But we are truly one in heart and nature. I have been called a China man in Malay language it's orang China; even though I was born and bred in Malaysia. But it doesn't hurt us very much. For me I always look forward to seeing the best in everything and everyone. It's a shame that geopolitics have changed the landscape of human solidarity and society into something that we appreciate anymore.
Error: it's a shame that geopolitics have changed the landscape of human solidarity and society into something we can't appreciate anymore.
agreed no matter how racist malaysian/ Indonesians are,
as long as we chinese stick together we can overcome anything !!
Haha... That's hilarious.
Hong Kong residents are ethnicly Chinese but they refer to themselves as Hong Kongers or just HK people. This per my HK spouse.
@@Sokx41sad isn’t it. Nothing wrong with calling yourself a HKer but to say you’re not Chinese is disgraceful.
阿顏，妳好．我昨天發現了妳的頻道，覺得很有趣．我從香港長大，已赴美四十多年了，這個視頻懐起了很多美好的回憶。我讚同妳說，不談政治，大家都是中國人嗎．妳還年輕，滿具創意，敢作敢為，祝妳前途無量，謝謝妳的製作．Jay
Ugh, you asked for no hateful/political comments and yet people still leave them 🙄 It seems that some people never learned how to listen or follow instructions well 🤣 Thank you for your wonderful content! I love how open and understanding you are everywhere you visit! That’s how passionate travelers are 🥰 We travel to experience new things and to meet new people, right? It’s about the people and the places, not politics or judgement. I feel bad for those who only see the world through a lense of politics and bias. I hope they can open their minds and find the love and happiness that we feel. ❤ I’ll continue to enjoy your videos for as long as you post them hehe
It just goes to show the evil intents of their heart. That should show people the spirit behind these things
I've been living in China since 2003 and Hong Kong is one of my favourite places.
I have been to Hong Kong, many years ago, the British were still on power. I loved the place, I did prefer it compare to New York, for example, it was expensive, but very organised, clean, and I have enjoyed. I also went to Lantau Island, saw the Tian Tan Buddha, that it was "something", I had a meal in the monastery with the monks. Yan, you are very good in doing videos, and you are also speaking clearly, interesting to hear about your discovery's, very pleasant , nice and lovely person you are.
Little Chinese Everywhere, I love that you are real. Honesty is trust. Trust is everything. Thank you for being honest. I love your shows.
Hong Kong was where I first landed upon visiting China in 2007. I loved it! Rode in an openair double-decker bus and marveled at the huge trees. I no longer remember their name. I bought pastry in a shop & when I said "thank you" in Mandarin the clerk was surprised! I was thrilled to see the Chinese medicine shops. Super thrilled to see high scaffolding made of bamboo. The crowded streets, endless shops & good-natured bustling around were really fun!
The name of the trees? Those would be banyan trees. They look pretty wild.
Hong Kong. I used to live near 黄大仙. Seeing this brings back memories.
I love your videos ! Thank you to shows these amazing place and nice people !
Thank❤🌹🙏 you dear, Yan👍! As always🤗 beautiful city, people, shops! So many people, so crowded - head goes round😊
I'm HK-born Chinese, the same as you, welcome! Hope you stay here for a long!
Please be safe and blessed in all you Do. Thanks Yan♥️
业主逼“迁” 。 Amazed by your way to zoom into the unique life of the locals. thumb up.
Another great Video to watch from Little Chinese Everywhere, Thank you for posting
Very nice video. You have a sense of wide-eyed wonder in Hong Kong, just like us. We have visited Hong Kong five times over forty years, and every time we are there we have the same sense of wide-eyed wonder that we had the first time. It is a marvelous, beautiful, busy place filled with millions of kind and wonderful people.
Great vlog. 👏👏
3:16. I feel you with the difference between the two languages. I studied Russian and Bosnian. Same alphabet but it's different. And those issues are everywhere. Like politics. In America everything's political. Messes up everything. But I love the videos. This is how we fix everything. Showing the world what it's like naturally. I would love to visit Asia, but I'm black, and I know the culture. 1 white covers 3 blacks. so I'll just watch the videos. Love the videos.
I have enjoyed your videos. Can't wait til I get to visit some of the sights myself.
Im so glad I clicked on your channel yesterday! Your videos are amazing and I hope you can continue showing these authentic experiences around the world, it really inspires me to travel like you in the future stay safe!
Another fantastic video, keep up the great work and looking forward to your next coming one.
I just came across your channel tonight, I really enjoy your videos. You show us details that are not found on the usual travel channels. I really love exploring the regular lives of those you meet along the way. Thank you for allowing us to have that connection. Please keep the videos coming ❤
Great video of the daily lives of HK people, the view from the ferry is beautiful and eating is so convenient!
Another excellent report! I really love your videos, they are so educational and also gentle. Your channel will no doubt grow a lot over time.
A superb video again Yan! I always want to visit wherever you go - you make everything so interesting! As a photographer I’d love to tackle the incredible HK skyline or the enormous apartment block which really looks like something from another world. I would not want to be on the receiving end of that ‘villain hitting’ curse though - that looks a very thorough ritual!
Good to hear your comments at the start of the video too. We are all aware these days of political situations we may not agree with, but you are a shining example of why we need to appreciate people for who they are. Your wide-eyed enthusiasm for different cultures is so positive and appreciated. I can’t wait for the next instalment…keep up the amazing work 😊💜
Thank you for taking us along ;)
Nice content Yan..been to HK several years back, pre-covid, it was my 3rd visit. My first visit was in the late 80s (and from there I visited mainland Shenzen with a special pass) and 2nd visit was late 90s.
I found its more interesting in my first 2 visits. During my last visit there I found the lifestyle becoming more hectic and stressful. The ppl are not as friendly and not much smiles could be found. In short, many times, we encountered rudeness and rather rough language were used. I do not think I'll be heading back there anytime soon.
Still preferred my time spent in Beijing and Qingtao (China-wise).
Safe travelling.
Very interesting and informative. Thank you very much for taking time to make these videos.
I really enjoy the atmosphere of busy city of Hong Kong. Thanks for sharing with us your adventure. Big LIKE!!! Greeting from Singapore.
Very interesting and beautiful color and quality of the doc".... See you next 🌠
You have such a nice voice , clear confident and trusty
I used to enjoy visiting Hong Kong regularly but now prefer staying in Shenzhen. I have met many nice people and enjoyed the food in both cities.
i've been to HK. the best scene in this video is the scene of the paralyzed ginger cat crawling on a stack of fruit boxes. he looks well fed and well taken care off. His owner didn't put him to sleep and that really touches me. if i were at the scene I would have asked for the owner and make a donation for his upkeep, Cat-man that I am
I lived in Hong Kong for 16 years. You are amazing - much love xoxo
I have really enjoyed watching your travel from Switzerland to China! I also hope to undertake a similar travel from Switzerland to Asia! Really can't wait! :)
As always 好看。Good to learn another dialect.
So happy to see you in Hong Kong, which is just one step away from China. Home sweet home for you. To see you wandering everywhere me and wife do worry for your safety.
Hong Kong is part of China
keep it going
Thank you for this beautiful video about Hongkong. I was living and working in Hongkong many years ago. With your video memories come back. Thank you again. You catchend the flair of this magnificent city. 🙋♀️🐶
Cool! Hope to be there some day ☺️ thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕
From Malaysia (born in Penang) but now reside in Kota Kinabalu (Sabah,East Malaysia) Have been to Hong Kong 3 times) Yes I can speak Hokkien, Contonese, Malay & English)
Thank you for sharing your experience.
You are such a gentle sweet lady. Don't try to please everyone, you can't. Just continue to make your beautiful videos who wants to watch will watch. Just block the haters ! Carry on my dear and thank you very much . God bless ! Greetings from USA 🇺🇸
I also stayed at the CheckInn Hostel back in 2017. I had a great time in the hostel and the city. So much to do, foods to try, and many helpful and friendly people. The Dragon's Back Trail and Victoria Peak was nice, but I still need to check out the hiking trails north of Kowloon and Lantau. I felt safer late at night than I did in many cities in my home country (USA). I miss the MTR, the walkability, and restaurants everywhere.
Amazing ❤ what a extremely fantastic people, respect 🎉congratulations for the informative video 🎉
Good job Yan. Hope you have reached home peacefully.
欣賞你頻道的真實和友善。下次再来香港，可遊深水埗区，它是傳統而廉价美食的集中地，颇有本地特色，作為在地人我可做导遊。
谢谢你❤️❤️
Little Chinese everywhere ,now in Hong Kong.Thank you for sharing a new video from Hong kong😘🙀💯🧡
So blessed to come across your channel on CZcams. My grandfather arrived in Singapore from Kwangsi.
Being a Chinese Singaporean I just don’t get enough opportunities to experience the length and breath of China (from your Unseen China Vlogs! Kudos! Most of the places you have shared are amazing! So happy to be able to experience them … looking forward to more! 😘
I love Hong Kong, it’s so amazing and busy and the food is so good….
Yan, congratulations on making it to Hong Kong, which is such a mix of old customs and modern fashion. HK has some of the best hotels, street food, restaurants and shopping of anywhere. Take the time to come back and sample the roast duck, goose and wok fried dishes. It is noisy, crowded and full of energy-- well worth a visit. You can even have a custom dress or suit made for you. The 'dim sum' tea lunch is an experience to be savored. You can feel HK's energy when you walk out.
I enjoy your video very much. Excellent! Keep it up. I m so proud of u.
Really enjoyed watching your videos. Keep it up!😊
I appreciate you doing this.
All your videos are great, keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing your video.
i had been to Hong Kong one time at 2018. love it
Great video. I’ve lived in Hong Kong for about 50 years. I enjoyed the way you presented it. Come and discover the rural areas next time!
thanks for going to Hong Kong, and having such a good time.
That monster building is huge! Thanks for sharing
Your spirit is sensational all about love and care
Well done
Nice video. thanks for sharing.
Usually in Mandarin, people say 谢谢...Cantonese people say 多谢, while Fujian people say 感谢.
Really enjoyed this video, even though I've been living in Shenzhen (and HK) for 13 years. Just found your channel and I'm a new fan! Thank you so much, -Jay.
I love your video so much thank you, I am Cantonese born in South Africa so hearing Cantonese is very special to me thank you❤❤❤👏👏👏

awesome video.thank you.
great video....I was in hong kong in the refugee camp as part of the boat chinese people from vietnam in the early 1980s
The rice roll looks good, just right for breakfast. Have a great Hong Kong tour😀. Hope you visit Malaysia again in future!
Must be a shock to pay so much after Malaysia.
admire your spirit to travel and blogging,god bless u
打小人，哈哈哈！太可愛了！您的英語說的很好。
You are doing a great job! Love your videos! My family is originally from the PI - any accent or mispronunciations are not rudely acknowledged nor corrected unless asked. I'm impressed with your English! ❤😊
Love Hong Kong.
Great tour of Hong Kong. I met some people from Hong Kong 10 years ago. Perhaps things have changed since then. Though as you point out: lots of tall buildings and double decker busses. I like to watch all the different kinds of boats sailing back and forth in Victoria Harbor. It is always fun "traveling" with you. I will watch all your you-tubes some day. Be well, take care.
Hong Kong is truly a unique place! My wife is Korean and they have underground shopping everywhere too.😄👍👍
我爱香港！！！谢谢您给我们分享您在香港的经历！！
🤠😃🤓🌀💯⭐lovely
Hong Kong streets has not changed too much since when I left in 2000. Now the subway announcement is made in Mandarin also.
So glad that this Mainland Chinese traveler can visit Hong Kong which will always be an important city of China.
the night shots in HK are just marvelous
Welcome to my home of Hong Kong. I hope you had an enjoyable time. I love this video and you have a new subscriber.
Wonderful video!! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be subscribing to your channel. Your English is excellent!
哈哈打小人太有趣了
I worked with someone from HK who had worked on a the signal system for thé métro there. He moved to Canada to support the system from HQ after the project finished. He tried to convince me that learning Chinese would not be that difficult. I don't remember him talking about the tones😮
The more I watch you videos the more I want to visit china looks beautiful!
Thank you so much for this video. I have always been curious about Hong Kong. That building which houses 10,000 people is amazing. A video on that building would be fun to see and those talk buses. Amazing city. I enjoyed this video very much. Eva
Thanks much, for Hong Kong views, have a good day !
Welcome to HK. I just came across your channel this evening and I love how you filmed your videos. Indeed politics is a sensitive subject here in HK. But I think Cantonese got 9 tones rather than 6? As a HK local, I hope you enjoyed your time in HK
สนุกมากกก 👍😊🥰
I have spent close to a year in total over the last 30 years in Hong Kong, as my brother in law lives there, and you did a nice job of capturing the daily life aspects of a wonderful and vibrant city. I was there a couple months ago, and found it interesting how widespread the use of masks still is. (Here in San Jose you only see them if you go to a hospital). Love your videos
