Getting My China Visa Took a Bus, a Train, and 100 Stairs

One bus ride, one MTR transfer, and a staircase that goes on forever — this is what picking up a Chinese visa in Hong Kong actually looks like. No editing tricks, no talking-head intro. Just a normal morning that turns into a mini city tour: laundry, breakfast, a flower market, the top deck of a bus, and a lot of stairs. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Morning routine (yes, laundry first) 02:10 Cooking breakfast at home 02:43 Out the door — passing the flower market 03:35 Bus ride + the view from up top 04:47 Transferring to the MTR 08:44 Walking from Admiralty to the visa centre 11:00 The stairs. So many stairs. 12:43 Picking up the visa (3/F) 13:38 The walk home + MTR back 📦 WHAT'S IN THE VLOG • Full morning routine: teeth, face, laundry, breakfast • Street-level walk past the flower market and the wet market • Double-decker bus scenery • MTR ride into Admiralty • The climb to the visa centre and the pickup itself • Zero talking, pure ambient Hong Kong 🗺 THE ROUTE • Leg 1: Local bus → scenery from the upper deck • Leg 2: MTR transfer → Admiralty • Leg 3: On foot → visa centre, 3rd floor • Return: walk back + MTR • Total cost: one morning and your calves 🌸 THE PART I DIDN'T PLAN The flower market on the way out wasn't on the itinerary — it just happened to be on the route. Watch that stretch twice. The upper-deck bus view a few minutes later is the other reason to not skip through. ⚠️ BEFORE YOU GO (VISA PICKUP TIPS) 1. Bring your pickup slip and ID — no slip, no visa. 2. Check the centre's collection hours before you leave; pickup windows differ from application hours. 3. The walk from the MTR involves a serious staircase. Comfortable shoes, not a suggestion. 4. Budget the full morning. Between transport and the queue, this is not a 20-minute errand. 💭 MY VERDICT [Be specific. Was the trip worth filming? Would you recommend the route, or is there a faster station to exit from? Say so.] 🔗 GEAR IN THIS VIDEO Camera: [link] Mic: [link] 👉 MORE HK VLOGS COMING — subscribe so you don't miss them Disclosure: [everything filmed by me / state if anything was sponsored] #HongKong #ChinaVisa #Vlog
