The hills are alive with the sound of music… or shall we say the city is alive with Hong Kong’s unique sound?. Many of you will surely recognize the different sounds from SCMP’s video showing the city’s very distinctive sounds. Can you take the challenge and see if you can guess each of them?.

Your Hong Kong trip will never be complete if you have not heard these sounds whenever you are just simply walking around the city, or on your tour with your Hello! Hong Kong tour guide. It will be impossible to miss them. Just to give you a summary of what you will hear in the city, and check if you guessed well from the video, here are the most common sounds of Hong Kong.

Chopping sounds at the wet market - You will surely hear this in the wet market where butchers are busy chopping meats for their local customers.

The hustle of people talking - Whether you understand it or not, you will definitely hear these sounds most especially during lunchtime. People talking over lunch and the clinking of plates and glasses will remind you that HEY! it’s lunchtime! Sik fan la!.

Octopus sounds - When you are in Hong Kong, having your own Octopus card will come in handy, as you can use it almost anywhere. Who would not recognize the beep sound of the Octopus card?

Pedestrian Tick - Most of you will agree that this sound is one of the most distinctive sounds of Hong Kong. It helps visually impaired people cross the street safely as the sounds ticks per second telling them it is safe to cross the road and ticks faster when it is unsafe to cross.

Ding-Ding Sound - People have heard this for over a hundred years and will always be one of Hong Kong's iconic sounds.

The PA voice from MTR - Hong Kong is known for its most advanced transportation services. This is a very prominent voice every time you take the MTR. The PA voice-over is also very helpful during the protest years as it helps people using the MTR to get updated on which stations are close and whatnot.

How well did you do? and did you miss them? Well, Hong Kong misses you too!

The Hello! Hong Kong Team is looking forward to welcoming you again to the beautiful city of Hong kong. If you feel like traveling again, feel free to speak to us and we can arrange the right itinerary for you! Get in touch at bookings@hellohongkong.com.hk

Today marks one of the largest Buddhist festivals in Hong Kong. It is a National Holiday celebrated normally on the 8th day of the 4th moon in the Lunar calendar. Although Buddha Birthday celebrations vary throughout the world, it is still the most awaited celebration of our Buddhist brothers and sisters where Buddhist temples are all busy with Hong Kong activity.

So how do Hong Kong people celebrate Buddha’s birthday? here is what you will expect when you are in Hong Kong.

Commemorate Buddha’s Birthday with Hello! Hong Kong Tours

Today, expect lanterns being lit as the light symbolizes buddhas enlightenment. The scent of incensed will envelop the surrounding and you will see devotees flooding the temples paying their respects.

The most visited place in Hong Kong during Buddhas’ birthday is the Po Lin Monastery in Lantau. It is also one of the stops of Hello! Hong Kong Lantau Island Tour. Here you will witness Buddha Bathing Ceremony, a cleansing ritual that believes to purify your soul.

To start the ritual, you have to make a half bow in front of the statue. Kneel, and pour the water 3 times over the shoulder of the baby Buddha statue. The first pour is to remind ourselves to only have good thoughts, the second pour to remind ourselves to only say good words. The third pour to remind ourselves to only do good deeds. To finalize the ritual, make another half-bow before standing up.

If you are looking for a perfect hong kong activity on your holiday, go visit the Po Lin Monastery in Lantau Island and witness how our Buddhist brothers and sisters commemorate Buddha’s Birthday. Keep in mind that to expect a different kind of celebration this 2021 as some of the events are observing the proper regulations advised by the government.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LORD BUDDHA!

Enjoy Outdoors in Style with
These Gorgeous Glamping Sites in Hong Kong

Find yourself returning to the same attractions and places week after week? If you think Hong Kong is just a dynamic concrete jungle for you to explore its shopping, dining, and nightlife scenes, you may need to think again. The natural wonders of the city are just as fascinating, and you haven’t seen the best of Hong Kong until you have explored the great outdoors through hiking, trying exciting water sports, and of course, camping.

Aside from appreciating the beauty of nature, camping also offers a perfect opportunity to get away from it all and spend some quality time with your loved ones or even a little “me time.” From stargazing domes to unique transparent bubble tents and luxury caravan camping, here are some of the most beautiful glamping sites, without having to sacrifice creature comforts. Forget tins of baked beans around the fire—camping these days is a much more glamorous affair.

Welcome Beach

Many people only visit Lantau Island for the Big Buddha, but only a few know that there’s a glamping site—Welcome Beach—located on the island, where you can spend a night or two with your loved ones inside one of the luxurious caravans for a truly unforgettable getaway.

 All of the caravans at Welcome Beach are well-equipped with air conditioning, a mini-fridge, open-kitchen and Wi-Fi access. Spend your day at the beautiful Cheung Sha Beach nearby and make the most of the good weather by enjoying a cooling swim or water sports. As night falls, head back to the caravan and indulge in an outdoor barbeque feast. The site stocks barbeque packs, a selection of drinks and snacks available for purchase, and you can also bring your own food and ingredients to make your own recipes.

Saiyuen Camping & Adventure Park

Gone are the days when camping was only about pitching a tent and witnessing the sunset on top of a mountain. Located on the southwestern tip of Cheung Chau Island, Saiyuen Camping & Adventure Park is the place for glampers who have a thirst for thrills, priding itself on offering a wide range of outdoor activities including bubble soccer, archery, treetop canopy walk and rock climbing, just to name a few. 

If your friends aren’t that outdoorsy, worry not, the site also hosts a number of fun workshops that teach guests how to play djembe and make bubble waffles or mosaic coasters. Oh, and did we mention that there’s also a spacious goat pen where you can feed and play with the goats? 

The site houses a range of uniquely themed, well-appointed accommodations, such as the African Safari Tent, Mongolian Ger, and Star Gazing Geodesic Dome - each equipped with air conditioning, mosquito screens, indoor lighting and even a private bathroom with hot and cold showers to ensure your stay is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Long Coast Seasports

Water sports enthusiasts and beach lovers, this one’s for you. Situated at Lower Cheung Sha Village on Lantau Island, Long Coast Seasports is more than just a water sports centre that offers a variety of surfing and wakeboarding lessons. It’s a picturesque beachside camping destination to visit for a distinct holiday experience amidst unspoiled nature.

 The site features two types of accommodations, namely Safari tents and caravans, which come with air conditioning, shower facilities and deluxe camping mattresses to keep the glampers toasty through the night. What’s more, the campsite also offers an overnight stay package that includes breakfast, water sports equipment rental and access to other facilities such as snooker table, trampoline and playground for the kids.

 After a long day exploring the great outdoors, treat yourself to a barbeque dinner under the stars. If you’re yearning for a beachside dining experience, don’t forget to check out those laid back restaurants and bars located along the Cheung Sha Beach.

Moving to a different country and starting from scratch is intimidating. There is so much to figure out; where to stay, how to adapt to a new culture and the language barrier. You have probably have made countless searches on Google to gather some basic information about the city.

To make your life easier once you arrive in the 852 we have done the hard work for you and listed all of the essential apps and phone numbers that you will need to navigate your new life.
