If anything I had even more problems in HK because they thought I was a local and talked to me in Canto

The actual only annoying thing in HK is my mandarin is useless, some get openly hostile if I spoke it. Some nice pubs though, some fat welsh bloke owns a few and they are all a laugh to be in until 4.

It may be because you're white, I'm Asian and people automatically switched to Mando when they realised I wasn't a Cantonese.

How hard was it to learn mandarin? How long did it take? What were the hardest parts to learn?

Pretty much, yeah.

2-3 years of intensive classes to get fluent, you can't learn it casually unless your wicked smart. By intensive I mean 20 hours a week at least in a formal classroom setting, with plenty of time for revision.

Mandarin is not really that difficult, but it is time-consuming.
My method was to look at mandarin webpages, and repeatedly copy any hanzi i didn't know, took me about two years to get to comfortable reading fluency.
To speak well is a different issue, you need to go to china to not sound akward.

The best parts of HK aren't even HK island and Kowloon tho.
