Advice for solo female traveller

Hi, I will be staying and working in HK island for the month of February, and will be my first time travelling abroad alone from Europe. Any advice on areas to avoid? Any common scams or things I should look out for?

I really want to explore and learn about the culture but I want to be safe. Equally, anything you think I should do which is a must? Thanks everyone

Edit - thank you everyone! I feel so much better now. Please feel free to suggest any restaurants/bars/things to visit!!
