Tipping is not expected, though rounding up taxi fares is polite.

Get an Octopus Card immediately upon arrival at the airport for all local transit.

Tap water is safe to drink, though many locals prefer boiled or filtered water.

Hong Kong is very safe for solo female travelers; stay on well-lit streets at night.

Public transport is highly efficient, but walking is common—wear comfortable shoes for the hills.
