Hong Kong is indeed a wonderful place to travel. This is an absolutely fantastic blog I would say, It is so informative to me as I have a scheduled trip to Hong Kong this year with my family and it will help me in knowing their culture and people before visiting. I’m hopeful that it will prove to be very useful for me. Thanks to the author of this blog for sharing.

Hong Kong is the Perfect destination for Holiday love Hong Kong…
Hongkong one of the nearest tourist spot from India. Hongkong the main city of China is located in the Pearl River estuary. It has a sub-tropical climate with distinct seasons. It is has got both man-made and natural attractive spots. One of the natural attraction is the village Tai O located at the Lantau Island is famous for fishing. There are various mangrove spots which are man-made attractions. The Lantau Island has got other man-made attraction which is a dream of every child. Hongkong is the main revenue for China via tourism. The main purpose remains to be shopping electronic products, clothes, jewellery, beauty cosmetics, and health products. This makes women spend time more here. Times Square the most popular shopping area is the biggest mall.

In reply to Rohan.

Yes, Rohan – I have a long list of things to be seen next time I am in Hong Kong. It includes islands and New Territories. Like I said if you search a vegetarian restaurant and plan your itinerary – there are a lot of options, but if you want to eat on the go, it can be challenging. I will try Beard Candy – is it like our Budhi Mai ke ball or Ice Candy?

The next time you’re in HK, do take the ferry to Lamma Island for some beautiful and easy walking trails. Plus the lifestyle is so much more laid back compared to the city.

In terms of food, I was fortunate to have a local colleague take me around, so had no problems with vegetarian food. Noteworthy was this place serving mock-meats called the Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Restaurant at the World Trade Centre. I also tried this unique dessert called Dragon’s Beard Candy (made with spun sugar)…. highly recommended for your next visit!

In reply to Helene D’Souza.

Helene, I agree with what you say about language. I think it was the language that was a barrier and maybe too many tourists too.

I was really hoping that the Vegan App would help me but it did not. I would also blame Google maps – it was pretty misbehaved in helping me with navigation in Hong Kong. Most places it works like a charm. As my local friends said, businesses move very fast in Hong Kong and specially restaurants. They close soon and apps are not updated regularly.

I know I may be consuming eggs in various forms – but I avoid whenever I know, else I would not be able to travel at all.

It kind of sounds like you went to europe. lol
When you say vegetarian in Austria and Germany, most people will think you are eating seafood and fish too. Do you eat eggs because noodles are rarely made without eggs. Having some locals being friendly and the other half being rude is something what once can find anywhere in the world. It has almost always something to do with the language (or the ethnic look). Tourists visiting europe just don’t understand that English is not a language there. Only the British and Irish island are English speaking and that’s it. People have not spoken English and they never will and lot of people are outraged when they go to europe and when a local seems to be rude but what is actually happening is that the local feels awkward and just doesn’t know how to react. The same must be happening to Hongkong locals too. As visitors we need to be aware that English is not a world language, as some have been trying to make us believe.
Anuradha I feel like visiting Hongkong after your reading your post. 🙂
