In this video, traveler Lizzy compares the safety of Hong Kong to mainland China. She finds Hong Kong clean, modern, and expensive, but with a noticeable homeless population that makes her feel less secure than in mainland China. She recounts a moment at a subway station where a woman begged for money, leaving her uneasy. Despite this, she emphasizes that Hong Kong remains very safe compared to Western countries. <br> Lizzy highlights the stark contrast between rich and poor, the high cost of living (a shoebox apartment costs $1 million US), and the presence of drugs and strict laws like a $1,700 fine for feeding pigeons. She recommends visiting Temple Street for amazing food despite the homeless, and Lan Kwai Fong for a lively nightlife. <br> A practical travel tip: if you're in mainland China, take a cheap train from Shenzhen (15 minutes, 80 RMB) instead of flying directly to Hong Kong. She also notes that many people live in Shenzhen and commute to work in Hong Kong to save money. <br> Lizzy points out cultural differences: people speak Cantonese and English, not Mandarin; you must stand on the right side of subway escalators; and bakeries are incredible. She concludes that Hong Kong is less safe than mainland China because safety there is engineered, while here you have to be more cautious. However, she loves the city's energy, western food, and beautiful skyscrapers, and urges viewers to visit and experience it for themselves.
Join traveler Lizzy as she navigates the safety of Hong Kong versus mainland China. From homeless encounters to expensive bakeries, she discovers a city that's modern, strict, and surprisingly unsafe compared to her usual haunts. But don't be scared – it's still a vibrant, amazing place with incredible food and skyline views.
