Hong Kong Restaurants Guide Hong Kong Restaurant | OpenRice Hong Kong. Practical travel information on Money and costs in Hong Kong - Lonely Planet Travel Information. Costs Hong Kong is a relatively pricey destination. Accommodation is the biggest expense, followed by drinking in Hong Kong’s bars. On a very tight budget you could survive on, say, HK$300 a day, but it would require a good deal of self-discipline. Better to budget something along the lines of HK$600 if you want to stay in the better class of guesthouse or cheaper midrange hotel and do more than just eat bowls of noodles. If you want to sample the finer hotels and restaurants, you’ll be paying the equivalent of most leading world cities.

Prices here are quoted in Hong Kong dollars ($) . ^ Back to top Tipping Hong Kong isn’t particularly conscious of tipping and there is no obligation to tip, say, taxi drivers; just round the fare up or you can throw in a dollar or two more. Most hotels and many restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill. Economy You can’t keep the irrepressible and hard-working citizens of Hong Kong down forever, though.

With the indie label scene always changing, we check out some of the new players bringing some new ideas to town as well as the mainstays, who have been the heart of the indie recording scene in Hong Kong for the past decade. Artefractureartefracture.bandcamp.com Headed up by influential man on the indie scene, Arthur Urquiola, this 2012-founded label started up as a way to nurture a DIY-ethic in the Hong Kong local scene.
