Precautions
Hong Kong transportation, you can buy Octopus, Taobao booking, of which the deposit is 50 Hong Kong dollars, the card 100 Hong Kong dollars. In Macau, you can buy a Macau free travel card, Taobao can be booked for 50 yuan per person. The opening fee is MOP 25, the card is MOP 30.
1. Communication: 7 days can buy Hong Kong and Macau Twin Cities 4G phone card (need to change the card, including Internet access and voice, Taobao can be booked for 60 yuan / person); 2. You can directly open the roaming voice and traffic (no need to change the card); 3. You can rent a wifi egg in Hong Kong and Macao (need to be refunded, do not change the card).
Power sockets are not the same as those in mainland China, but hotels are usually equipped with mainland sockets or converters.
Please exchange HKD and MOP in advance.
I'm a non-literate but reliable young woman, I can only give you an affordable form guide. Oh, in fact, what I want to see most before I travel is a dry run of what's planned for the trip. If I traveled for a different number of days, I could change it. Now to share with you the following notes:
1. This trip with my coworkers was actually pretty good in terms of food and drink in Hong Kong and Macau. So we automatically canceled some of the basic attractions because we slept in, no need to rush.
2. We stayed at the City View International Hotel Hong Kong in Yau Ma Tei. Yau Ma Tei is an area in Hong Kong that I personally think offers great value for money. It is very close to the MTR station and is well connected. And it is also very close to the downtown area like Tsim Sha Tsui, and all the surrounding facilities are very good. With so much land in Hong Kong, it's easy to book a room with a small fried chicken, which is very uncomfortable. However, the room at City View International was small but okay. However, since we were there on a Saturday, we spent over $800 a night. Accommodation in Hong Kong is more expensive than the mainland.
3. Shopping in New Haven was the highlight of the trip for me. As we all know, shopping in Hong Kong is not cheap nowadays, and the exchange rate is basically around 0.85 compared to the mainland. So the only way to make money is to get good stuff at discount stores. Harbourfront has been to Hong Kong before. At that time, it was a friend from Hong Kong who drove us there, which was very far. But this time, there is a subway to get there, which is super quick and easy. You can get out of the MTR and transfer to a bus*** car and it's not far to walk. I would recommend walking instead of waiting for the bus**** bus. Harbourfront you have to walk the 1st floor floor introductory fold first, then stroll from top to bottom, don't go the wrong way. The first time I went there I went from bottom to top and then I jumped the floor to shop. What a mess. The specific new Haiyi strategy is recommended to go to the small red book to check, the number of quite a lot, but also more complete. I bought two ysl bags this time, one of which was a new arrival. I saw it on sale at Harbour City at the original price, here it was 6.5% off! Also bought three pairs of sneakers, some stores had two pairs on sale, like 15% off on paypal. For those who like heels, check out Lane Crawford here. One thing to note here is that Shinkaiyi closes at 19:00. make sure you plan your time well. If you can buy it, grab it and skip it, don't obsess.
4. One thing to keep in mind for Hong Kong and Macau is that if it's typhoon signal #8 and above, almost all stores are closed! Almost everything! Don't think you can shop on a typhoon day like you can on the mainland. Harbour City is open but almost all the stores inside are closed, only a few small stores are still open. But DFS was open and the bear cookies were open for purchase. The clerks don't work until they drop above typhoon signal number 3, and I'm told that because of insurance issues, a lot of traffic is closed and the clerks can't get to work.
5. It is recommended to book a boat from Hong Kong to Macau on Taobao, which is more than ten dollars cheaper than buying on site. We are from Kowloon, the location of Kowloon Ferry Terminal is still walking distance from the MTR Jordan Station. If it is really inconvenient to take luggage, it is recommended to take a taxi from the hotel is more convenient, and the cost of transportation in Hong Kong is more expensive than the mainland, es
6. Macao hotel shuttle bus is very developed, the pier is almost always a hotel shuttle bus. We live in the old Lisboa hotel prices are high, but the shuttle is not as developed as some of the newer hotels. There are a lot of shuttles like the Theater of Dreams hotel in Taizai to various attractions. But the old Lisboa only has access to the pier, even the airport, but the room rates are much cheaper. And Macau has a lot of public transportation, the place is small, and public transportation is convenient.
7. The house of dancing water is worth visiting. If you don't particularly care about money, I personally think C is pretty good too, because the circular stage doesn't affect the effect much. The earlier you book your seats the better. The front rows will get splashed with water. It's also fun if you're a spirited person. Haha, it can be interactive. The view from the Ferris wheel is poor. There's a large open area in front, but the tickets are complimentary from House of Dancing Water.
8. Transportation overview: wall to wall advice to buy Hong Kong and Macau transportation cards. Besides transportation, you can use them to buy things. You are not afraid of not using them up. It's annoying to buy tickets every time, especially since there is no subway in Macau and the bus fare is still zero. For example, the price of $4.2 is only $3 with the card discount. My colleague didn't have a transportation card, the first time I took the bus, or a kind passerby gave me money. Then I thought about changing everywhere. Navigation software can recommend Google Maps or Baidu Maps. Overseas recommended Google, Hong Kong and Macau Baidu no problem.
9. Communication Overview: There are many ways to communicate. I bought a phone card, so I just need to replace it on the plane. Hong Kong and Macau all buy 4G, the signal is very good. Note that if you buy a phone card, it is recommended that two people buy it separately. Turning on the hotspot may be unstable, especially for two girls. Don't lose contact. If two people must use one, then buy wifi eggs, but bring a charging treasure ~
10. Foreign exchange overview: now Alipay outbound activities are quite a lot. Alipay can be used in many places with a 15% discount and a cap of 50 dollars. So except for small things, you don't need to change too many Hong Kong dollars and Macau dollars. HKD and RMB are almost universal in Macau, but 1:1, so it's not cost effective to use HKD and RMB.
Duty free shops
Duty free stores are a must when shopping in Hong Kong, and DFS Duty Free is very well known and familiar to everyone. It is a paradise for purchasing the world's top branded goods, which not only offers discounts but also guarantees quality. The shopkeepers are fluent in many languages and provide very attentive service. And with their after-sales service offices in Beijing and Shanghai, you don't have to worry about running all the way to deal with problems when you buy something.
The Sun Plaza store in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most popular. It is only a few minutes walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. The first floor owners should have cosmetics and the second floor owners should have designer stores.
Shopping centers
Besides duty-free stores, the most attractive shopping malls or department stores here are Hysan Place and Times Square in Causeway Bay, Harbour City and Soho Square Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, The Landmark in Central, and Eastgate near the airport . All are popular shopping destinations!
Basically shopping malls or department stores can basically, concentrated in Mongkok, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, the airport and its vicinity. Whether it is luxury goods or practical goods, you can buy a seven or eight. And these malls will start from June each year into the discount period, lasts a few months. Now is a very good time to go~
Joyo Sasha
In Hong Kong, you can often come across two chain stores, Sasha and Joyo, which have very cheap goods. Sasha is much more famous. It is mostly stocked with products that are almost expired and are returned to wholesalers by the counter, so the prices are more affordable than other places. However, you should also pay special attention to the production date and shelf life when buying so as not to buy expired products.
Joyo is also cheap. Some things are cheaper than Marceli, but some people say Hong Kong people only go to Marceli, others say Hong Kong people only go to Bonjour. It could be a comparison and competition between two similar style stores, so you can choose for yourself.
Pharmacy
There is another popular store in Hong Kong, the pharmacy, which is as hot as Sa Sa and Bonjour. Some herbs and c
The well-known Lung Shing Pharmacy and Kam Ying Pharmacy are superior in quality and price. The Longcheng Pharmacy is recommended here because there are so many cottage stores in the Jinying Pharmacy that you can accidentally walk into a cottage store and get screwed. It is really defensible. It can be said that the right pharmacy in Hong Kong is heaven and the wrong pharmacy is the biggest pit.
Dragon City Pharmacy take the MTR Tsuen Wan line in Tsim Sha Tsui off, and then out at the entrance of Granville Road, and then walk along the road to the Hang Seng Bank, turn left, and then turn right, you can walk for about 5 minutes. However, you can't use your credit card to shop at Dragon City Pharmacy in Hong Kong, so you need to have enough cash! The service here is poor, but compared to other small pharmacies that make people suffer, bear with me!
Lastly, some of the places to go to the drugstore need to pay attention to:
1. buy dry goods before confirming the unit price, some places only mark the price does not mark the unit of measurement is two or catty, resulting in a cheap illusion, in addition, Hong Kong generally to a catty for 16 two calculations;
2. in the chat with the clerk of the dry goods, especially in the pharmacy, always pay attention to each other whether in the case of the absence of your nod of the In the case of slicing or grinding things into powder, so as not to be unable to buy even when the time comes;
3. Buy things to keep a close eye on, the whole time to look carefully, beware of being dropped;
:0104. Before going to buy medicine must remember the name and appearance of the medicine, it is best to bring a box or take a picture, so as to avoid buying cottage industry, and do not easily believe in the shopkeeper's recommendation;
5. If you are being cheated, actively defend your rights and minimize your losses.
Some people come to Hong Kong for shopping with a strong purpose, such as buying watches and shoes. There are many doorways in this.
Buying shoes
Famous for sneakers, Garden Street in Mongkok. Various sneaker brands have specialty stores here, selling the most complete and abundant range of sports and casual shoes and sporting goods. If you want to buy cheap shoes, you can take your time to shop here, but the prices of new products are similar to those outside.
Buy a watch
Hong Kong people's love and knowledge of watches has given birth to the city's watch industry. Besides, Hong Kong is a world-renowned free port, and many foreign watches are cheaper than those from the mainland. Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, Wan Chai, Admiralty are more popular watch stores, but buy a watch through customs is more troublesome, and once the spot check will have to pay customs duty. So after you buy a watch, ask the watch store to send the box and receipt home. If the store owner refuses, it's better to spend some money to express it back, which is much better than having to pay the tariff after going through customs.
Note: If a watch store has the word "excellent" on its door, it is trustworthy!
Buying an Apple phone
Hong Kong is one of the most cost-effective places to buy an Apple phone. The main Apple stores where you can buy one are: Hysan Place in Causeway Bay, IFC mall in Central, and Tat Chee Avenue Festival Walk store in Kowloon Tong. Customs inspection is also required, but if you are using it for your own use, unpacking should not be a big problem.
Tide Shops
Paterson Street in Causeway Bay is the default street in Hong Kong. It is very suitable for young people to visit, with convenient transportation. Sogou not only has delicious food, but also shopping centers. Walk from the beginning to the end, not afraid of running out of places to go.
Shopping Tips
Shopping Tips:
1. Buy in Hong Kong, be sure to have enough cash;
2. Buy things to screen whether the second-hand, second-hand goods will be marked with "USED";
3. If it is to rush to the brand to shop. Be sure to see if the brand you want to buy, because there are too many cottages, easy to confuse.
After buy buy buy buy, it's time to take a stroll through some of Hong Kong's landmark attractions! If it's your first time and time is tight, go for the popular ones. If it's not your first time and you're not short on time, you can choose some niche attractions. Today, let's talk about the must-sees.
Recommended Disneyland, Ocean Park Hong Kong, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Avenue of Stars and so on. For pleasure.
While there is a Disneyland in Shanghai, Hong Kong Disneyland was established much earlier and has long been a featured attraction in Hong Kong. Compared to Shanghai, the level of queuing is within acceptable limits. If you are nervous, you can basically play all the popular events in one day.
The Wong Tai Sin Temple is one of the most popular temples in Hong Kong. Its architecture and layout are exquisite and its vows are ingenious!
If you are going with kids, besides Disneyland, Ocean Park is also a good choice. The most classic is the dolphin show. If you are a stargazer, you can go to the Avenue of Stars and take pictures with your idol's handprints and autographs.
Appreciate the scenery
Recommended Lantau Island, Lamma Island, Repulse Bay, Sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck and so on.
For great views of Hong Kong, both Lantau Island and Sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck are good choices. On the same island as Disneyland on Lantau Island, there are also famous attractions such as the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. People usually take Ngong Ping 360 and sit on the cable car to enjoy the beautiful view of Lantau Island.
Sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck, which offers a 360-degree bird's eye view of the different landscapes of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbor, is also one of the landmarks. Its entrance is located on the second floor of the Square Mall. After the fun, you can also drop by Square Mall for shopping. the queues at Square are not as bad as other malls. The surrounding facilities are neat t
Lamma Island and Repulse Bay are more purely ornamental. Ocean, beach and island are standard. Lamma Island is also a favorite weekend destination for Hong Kong people. Repulse Bay is a summer vacation mecca and TVB often comes here for photo shoots.
Features of Hong Kong
Recommend HKU, Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Bank of China Tower, TVB Television City and Queen's Road.
If you want to feel the authentic Hong Kong, HKU, Mongkok and Queen's Road are the right places. HKU, as Hong Kong's renowned institution of higher learning, has a long and rich history, and there are a lot of old buildings inside that are worth a try.
Mong Kok, on the other hand, is the place that most resembles old Hong Kong, with crowded buildings and distinctive street signs that show the most distinctive side of Hong Kong movies. Mongkok is also home to a cyber-celebrity Chinese restaurant and shopping street. Even if you spend a day here, it won't be bad.
Similar to Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok is also where you can ride the Star Ferry, but in our minds, it's more about its shopping.
TVB TV City is a favorite place for Hong Kong drama lovers, but it's far away and not open to the public. It's only good for taking photos at the entrance. Of course, you might run into familiar faces;
The Bank of China Tower is one of Hong Kong's more modern landmarks, commonly seen in textbooks. Check it out if you're curious.
Queen's Road is a shopping street with Hong Kong characteristics. It is most familiar with the old classic songs of Luo Dayou. Therefore, its name carries the flavor of Hong Kong. You can choose one or two of these places, so you don't have to repeat them next time when you change two places.
Tourist Tips
Recommended Temple Street, Tai Ping Shan, Victoria Harbor and so on.
The most classic and famous place for night view in Hong Kong is Victoria Harbor. Can you prove that you have been to Hong Kong without a photo of Victoria Harbor?
If you want to overlook the Victoria Harbor or the night view of Hong Kong, the Peak is worth a visit. It is the highest point in Hong Kong. You can take a cable car to the top of the hill and the feeling of going all the way up is amazing. The cable car ends at the Peak Lookout, which is a great place to enjoy the night view of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. The other floors have leisure, gourmet and souvenir stores for spending time, and the famous Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is also located here!
Temple Street, also known as Men's Street, is a famous night market and a popular location for Hong Kong movies. It doesn't look like much during the day, but at night, when the night market starts, people come and go, and it's a lively place where you can get a taste of the authentic Hong Kong people culture.
Great place to go at night
Tips:
Living: the best choice is to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is centrally located and easy to access to other attractions.
Transportation: Hong Kong's transportation is still very convenient, the MTR, buses, and Hong Kong's old transportation ding ding car and the Star Ferry. Getting an Octopus card is also a must, as it saves you time and gives you discounts on the Airport Express and the MTR.
:010Hong Kong's MTR basically includes some of the must-see places in Hong Kong, and if you don't have any special needs, you can follow the MTR to play around Hong Kong.
Selection of scenery: we choose the destination, the same type of selection of 1-2 is enough, the important thing is the type rather than the number, if the Hong Kong trip to go to a type of attractions, it is very easy to produce tired and tired of feeling, but also produce Hong Kong is not much fun in the illusion of the place, so be sure to rationalize the arrangement.

Have you lost control of your desire to go to Hong Kong? Don't worry, let's see which road from Wuhan suits you best!
010-10:10 Departure
First of all, I'd like to tell you about the Hong Kong and Macao Travel Permit, which is divided into individual and group visas. Individual visas can fly directly to Hong Kong, group visas can only buy clearance in Shenzhen and then take the bus to Hong Kong. Individuals are required to have a Wuhan household registration, please remember!
Group logo
We are more concerned about the clearance problem. The popular ports in Shenzhen are Luohu Port and Futian Port. Although there are often a lot of people waiting in line, these two places can take the MTR and can brush the Octopus, which is still everyone's first choice for customs clearance. Other ports are not as crowded and you can take a transit bus.
If it's not your first time through customs, take the self-service clearance channel. It's easy to "drop" once! The first time you need to go for manual clearance activation.
While Hong Kong may not look like much on the map, it's worth stopping at almost every step.
