Just returned from 10 days in Hong Kong & Macau. Great trip overall.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $54/night. Clean and close to everything.
The scene is solid. Prices ranged from moderate compared to my last visit.
Girls were plentiful. I had 11 encounters over the trip.
Food was cheap and delicious. Street food was the highlight.
Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.
Returning to Hong Kong & Macau after 3 years

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

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

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.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
