Before travelling to almost any place on earth, it is best to form a habit of checking for travel insurance.

Make sure your passport is up to date and doesn't expire anytime soon. This is because the Hong Kong authorities require at least one month more in terms of its validity from the date of your expected departure from Hong Kong.
While citizens of most countries are allowed to enter Hong Kong visa-free or even have visa on arrival, it is best that you read up on the restrictions or requirements online that pertain to your country. The Hong Kong immigration website provides plenty of information on this topic.

Make sure to notify your local bank of your travels to Hong Kong so that they can keep track and activate them for international use.
Another great thing to make note of is to keep scans or even photos of documents like your passport identity page, driver's license, visa or anything else important. Have them on your phone as well as on your email, should you need to quickly retrieve them.
