Listeners are urged to safeguard passports, travel documents, and personal valuables at all times, and avoid carrying large sums of cash. Incidents of drink spiking have recently been reported in the Wan Chai nightlife district, where some foreigners have been targeted for robbery and other crimes. Travelers should avoid accepting food or drinks from strangers, never leave beverages unattended, and be wary of unsolicited offers from new acquaintances.
Credit card and ATM fraud remains a risk. Listeners are advised to use ATMs located inside banks or reputable businesses, cover the keypad when entering PINs, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions.
Travelers heading to Hong Kong between May and October should be aware this is the city's rainy and typhoon season, which brings increased risks of severe storms, flooding, and landslides. The Hong Kong Observatory issues up-to-date weather alerts before major storms. Travelers are encouraged to monitor these advisories and adjust plans as necessary to avoid affected areas or transportation disruptions.
Regarding transportation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends choosing official taxis or public transportation, using seatbelts, and avoiding motorbikes and overcrowded vehicles. Laws regarding weapons are strict—items such as mace, pepper spray, stun guns, and switchblades are illegal and possession can lead to arrest.
Health risks are generally low, though listeners should remain alert for occasional public health announcements regarding infectious diseases like chikungunya or measles if unvaccinated. The Hong Kong Security Bureau provides outbound travel alerts if significant health or security threats develop, and listeners are encouraged to monitor this for the latest information.
While Hong Kong continues to welcome international visitors and remains comparatively safe, it is important for travelers to stay informed, plan ahead, and remain alert to evolving legal, political, and weather-related risks. Official sources and government advisories should always be consulted for the most current guidance before and during trips.
