What does Hong Kong cost?
Hong Kong is a city of two price classes: The international side (hotels, rooftop bars, fine dining) is on par with London, while the local side (Cha Chaan Tengs, street markets, MTR) is surprisingly affordable. The key: Eat and live like the locals, and Hong Kong becomes affordable.
