Been thinking about visiting Hong Kong & Macau and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

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

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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