Budget Scale
Editor Rating: 7-Hong Kong can be extremely expensive, but if you can find and book cheaper accommodations and eat fast food from the street, you can get by on a smaller budget. But it's also easy to blow it up and spend as much as you would in New York or Tokyo.
Indie Travel Scale
Editor Rating: 8-Just going to a place like Hong Kong can be quite the indie travel experience. Wandering around its streets and markets is an assault on the senses that you don't find in many other places in the world.
