Is Hong Kong welcoming to foreigners?

Thanks to Hong Kong's status as an international financial hub and its history as a British colony until 1997, Hong Kong is generally friendly towards foreigners. You'll find a ton of English translations on road signs, menus, and maps, and plenty of serving staff speak it too.

How many days in Hong Kong is enough?

A couple of days may be enough to see most of the city center, but if you plan on making trips outside of the city, or you don't want to be rushed off your feet, we recommend you add a few more days onto your vacation. 4-5 days is the sweet spot, and will let you see everything you need.

While Hong Kong maintains a low crime rate, it pays to stay aware, especially in crowded places. Pay special attention to personal belongings in congested areas and when using public transportation. Although violent crime is infrequent, always be on the lookout for anything suspicious.
