This Hong Kong travel vlog by Travelshorts documents their first day in the city, starting with a stay at the Salisbury YMCA, a hotel offering exceptional harbor views. The video highlights the value of this accommodation compared to more luxurious options like the Peninsula Hotel. Travelshorts then details their experience exchanging currency at the Chungking Mansion, a place with a notorious past but now a more cleaned-up area. They walk along the Avenue of Stars and take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour. The family then embarks on the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, enjoying panoramic views from the Sky Terrace 428.
Afterward, they explore Central District, visiting Don Don Donki for snacks and souvenirs. The day concludes with a Jollibee dinner (a first for Travelshorts), followed by an MTR ride to Hong Kong Disneyland and check-in at Disney's Explorers Lodge. The video includes personal anecdotes, such as Matthew's recovery from food poisoning and the family's use of Octopus cards for convenient transportation.
