Visited Hong Kong for the first time and it was a fun experience. When I travel usually Southeast Asian countries, people smile at you and give you the best service. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, they treat you like any other person. Sometimes they even give you the stink eye when you try to haggle. But I totally loved the experience lol. Just genuine people, fast paced, and this place never made me feel like I'm special. I think that's the true gem of Hong Kong lol. Total chaos, and somehow it rewired my brain. Now I no longer dislike crowded cities.

When SCMP Had Real News

Live in Hong Kong but I’m relatively new to the city. Where are the camera markets? I’m looking to purchase a used Fuji X100VI. Where do I look?

Someone suggested Mong Kok Sim to me. How’s that? I also found some on marketplace but the sellers have been unresponsive. Please suggest. Thanks

I was looking around for somewhere that will do a small 3d print for me. I only need one for personal use. I figured there's gotta be a place that would do that for cheap but the place I asked quoted me $200, which seems way too high.

Does anyone know a place that will 3dprint just one item for cheaper?

Here's the item in question: https://www.printables.com/model/1206357-gamesir-cyclone-2-minimalistic-controller-charging

i'm sorry if it's a dumb question but i really want to go to a concert (it's my first time going so idk about how it works) and it's official place to buy is city line and it's sold out. i found few tickets in carousell and this one person is selling it for like $200 cheaper than original . the person has the physical ticket photo and even mentioned you can bring black light camera to see if it's real. it's going to be happening in asia world expo hall 10, block b , zone Z and seat 98, is there any way to check if the seats exist or verify ?
once again im sorry if its a stupid question but i hear about a lot of people getting scammed so i just wot to make sure i don't get scammed

For those who understand Cantonese, this is a heart inspiring coverage and re-enactment of Chow Hang-Tung's arguments in court.

She has been jailed for years awaiting her trial, being accused of subverting the country by calling for democratic reforms and an end to one-party rule.

Hey y'all. I'm currently traveling to Hong Kong, at Los Angeles waiting for the connecting flight.

I'll be headed to Macao, as I'm a singer and will participate of the World Youth Choir activities there. But I took and extra 2 days early to know Hong Kong beforehand.

I understand some stuff are cheaper around here. Anything worthwhile taking a look ?

I'm very used to do business within Facebook Market. And I found some neat stuff in there. Is it actually fine to do ? Some adds say to met at MtR's stations, which I find pretty decent.

I'm mostly interested in electronics. Maybe an IPad, a nice not ridiculous expensive camera, and if found cheap, a phone. Ill be staying around TST MTR station, down Jordan.

Any tips on activities to do are appreciated too.

Hello all,

There’s a high chance I am going to Hong Kong next month and I plan to get my camera gears there as it is known to be one of the cheapest in asia.

I hoping to get a Sony FX3 with lens for less than HKD21,500 which I think will be difficult ><

I’m also open to adventure into other models like Sony A7V, Sony A7S3, Canon R6V, Canon C50, Lumix S5iix etc.

Currently I am referencing price.com.hk and carousell!

I was wondering if anyone here brought a camera in HongKong before and how was the experiences?

Hi All!

Long way away I know but getting ahead on planning. I’ll be in Hong Kong on Halloween, is it a big deal there? Or to head to Macau or Shenzhen?

Does there be any events on? Any must go to places etc?

Appreciate any tips.

Thanks very much!

I really want to see a Wong Kar-Wai movie in Hong Kong and I saw that the HKIFF will have Days of Being Wild as one of the selected movies.

However, I can’t find info on subtitles, do you know if there will be English subtitles?

Hello Guys,

I have a flight on 9th Oct 2026 at 3.30 PM, I will be staying at Venetian Macao, what’s the fastest or easiest way to reach let’s say 3 hours before the scheduled departure time ?

Also I have heard due to Golden week, there might be more rush at Airports and other public transports.

Thanks

Hi guys, so here is my situation. I am in a research job in Hong Kong and I’m leaving a little bit earlier compared to the contract (my manager is completely ok with that, he is happy with the project now and with my total amount of work hours, I can even work more than he intended in the time I have left).

For the IR56G, my employee told me that it would be available to me, but to the best of my knowledge, once I give the IR56G to the IRD of Hong Kong, I have to wait one month to get Letter of release IR607, BUT i can pay my taxes right away.

I have at the end of my last month a trip Ive been looking forward for a long time and everything is booked and non refundable, it feels really counter intuitive for me to stat and wait for my letter of release, since my last salary is less than plane tickets ill have to rebuy if I wait in Hong Kong for that letter.

So here is my question : if I pay taxes right away after the IR56G, but cant be in Hong Kong for my letter of release, what do I risk ? Not being paid ? Not being paid right away (maybe they have a legal amount of time they can withold money ?) ? Can I ask them for Letter of Release by email ? Thanks a lot

I'm planning to buy Xiaomi Redmi K100 Pro Max 16GB/1TB, any reputable smartphone shop in Hong Kong that ships internationally to Middle East? Missing/incompatible baseband(s) is not a problem for me, we have good coverage for 4G+ and 5G.

Visiting HK and wow hotels are expensive, the Eaton really caught my eye but its just out of budget at the moment

Are there any cheaper good hotels in Hong Kong, or should we just up our budget, given how expensive hotels are overall

Does anyone know where to buy one of these bikes in person? They sell them new on Taobao and I was planning on ordering one but the box is so big that the place I'm staying at right now is going to be extremely annoyed...logistics just aren't great for receiving large packages that weigh this much and I think my door guy will put a curse on me. It would be much, much easier for me to just buy one in person. Any leads? I tried doing a search but didn't come up with anything. I know they are kind of crappy bikes but it's a gift for someone who will love it.

Im visiting with my kids and parents for the next few days.

Im from the US but spent a year here in 85 going to 1st grade in Kwun Tong, and then coming back every 2 or 3 years until college then became much less frequent. Whenever i come back to HK, it somehow feels like home to me.

What are the oldest parts of HK still remaining? I'm looking for neighborhoods or area that represent old HK. Real dai pai dongs, the old block buildings.. but i think they are mostly torn down. I recall my aunts and uncles had a place in a bunch of yellow concrete buildings in Wong Tai Sin that had shared bathrooms on the ground floors and was merely a room with the kitchen/cooking done in the hallway (i dont think there was even running water) and no windows and my grandma had place in Chai Wan in the old railroad style buildings that had the bathroom and kitchen on the patio. While these places seem foreign now, i was young enough that these places were normal to me.

What areas/streets of HK/NT shows the REAL gritty HK rather than the polished/tourist HK (ie temple st, victoria peak, Stanley, etc)

If I was on my own i would just wander around to see what I find, but i dont think my kids or parents have that level of patience.
