Quick question for the Hong Kong & Macau regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

This matches my experience. Hong Kong & Macau is one of my favorites.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?
