Hong Kong was originally one of the safest cities in the world. Still, since China passed the national security law on Hong Kong, crime has dramatically risen from violent protesters and serious police brutality, and insulting the Chinese government can and will lead to serious arrests, and tourists are no exceptions.
When you travel to crowded places, some such as Sham Shui Po and Mong Kok have a bad reputation for criminals by Hong Kong standards. As these are densely populated and relatively poor areas, there are pickpockets and notorious Mong Kok acid spills.
Underpricing scams are common in the city’s shops.
It would be best if you were careful about this.
The key to avoiding the tourist trap is “if it sounds too good to be true, it is.” Don’t let the seller talk you into something else if you don’t know what you are doing – Check items and always ask for a receipt before leaving the store – When buying electronics, always check for an international warranty.
Traffic rules are strictly enforced in Hong Kong, where there can be severe fines and excellent road conditions, although road courtesy has yet to be improved.
However, the speed can be so high that more people will die in accidents.
