Luckily, you don’t need a visa to visit Hong Kong if you have an American passport and plan on staying for less than 90 days. It is not apart of mainland China, so it does not require the same entry and exit stipulations.
Hong Kong is a perfect blend of tech-forward with old school China. While it may seem that the city can be expensive to navigate, you can do Hong Kong on a budget.
Finding the perfect place to stay while in Hong Kong is critical. Hotels are generally expensive around the city. The best bet is to look for an Airbnb first. If you still prefer an actual hotel, The JJ Hotel, is a very nice, inexpensive hotel located in the Wanchai area.
One of the biggest attractions in Hong Kong is the view from the top of Victoria’s Peak. Most websites will suggest taking a tour or using the cable car to get to the top. However, it’s very easy to get to the top on your own and for a fraction of the cost. You can take a bus from the main bus terminal using your Octopus card (a transportation card that can also be used at most fast food places and some markets) that will drive you to the top of the mountain. After a short walk along a very scenic trail, you will find the perfect overlook to snap excellent photos.
Did we mention that it never really gets cold in Hong Kong? So you can visit whenever without having to bundle up.
