Your Guides
An American travel planner and his wife — multiple trips to Hong Kong, real prices, and no sponsored content.
Most Hong Kong travel content covers the same five tourist stops. We go deeper — the Jordan dim sum teahouse with no English menu, the MacLehose Trail coastal sections, the Tai O stilt houses at low tide. Between Scott's planning obsession and Jenice's eye for the local experience, we cover angles the guidebooks miss.
