Traveling for $20 A Day: Hong Kong – Ep 17

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in Asia, but is it possible to travel in HK with 20 dollars a day? In fact, there are two methods for traveling HK with 20 USD (155 HKD) and I’m gonna show you how it’s done!

First method to travel HK with 20 bucks:
Book a hostel (~$18) and buy an egg sandwich at 7/11.

Second method to travel HK with 20 bucks:
MAKE A FRIEND, sleep on their couch, have 20 bucks left over do actually do stuff for the whole day (the method I chose).

How I spent my day traveling in Hong Kong:

Star Ferry ride – 3.4 HKD
Subway ride – 4.5 HKD
Breakfast – 25 HKD
Lunch – 35 HKD
Subway ride – 13.5 HKD
Hiking Victoria Peak – FREE
Sports drink – 19.5 HKD
Dinner – 55 HKD
Accommodation – FREE (friend’s couch)

TOTAL – 155.9 HKD ($20.10)

  1. dont buy stuff from 7/11, buy it from the supermarket is wayyyy cheaper
  2. I used to be a traveler like you. Than I woke up from my bed..
  3. Will Jackie let me sleep on her couch if I go to Hong Kong???
  4. Nice video…you should do Macau next since it just next door.
  5. For me it’s really not a big deal for spending how much. I really like the VBLOGs because the videos are for a enriched day and as if I’ve been there already.
  6. You could spend a little less if you ask for food with the filipina workers that hang out there in central, they are nice and will let you have some to eat. Ferry? U can save $3 if you just go swim in from hk island to kowloon..
  7. You could have got a ferry from central to lantau or bus from the airport over the hill to the beach at pui o. There is free camping on the beach. Great trails and also mcdonalds is one of the cheapest places to eat or seven eleven.
  8. logging style inspires me sir.. HK is the cheapest destination to fly into asia from the USA. Bought my tickets yesterday Ill be there next week. Thanks for sharing brother.
  9. you make awesome video bro, you will be very successful. I am also an expat in Shanghai and traveled to many destinations you went, hope I will see you in person some day
  10. Never knew you can actually climb up the peak on foot! Thought you always have to take the tram. lol
