Money-Saving Tips for Hong Kong

  • The Octopus card works on every form of transit and at most convenience stores
  • Take the Star Ferry between Kowloon and Central — best $0.50 view in Asia
  • Hike Dragon's Back for the best skyline-to-beach view in the city
  • Eat dim sum where locals queue, not where the menus have English photos
  • Visit during shoulder season (October to December (cool, dry)) for the best balance of weather and prices
