Is it safe for girls to travel to Hong Kong alone?
It should be safe, as long as you don't go to some very remote places.
1. Every time before I go to Hong Kong, I go to Papa Ma's place to buy a Hong Kong phone card in two days, four days and seven days. I can buy it according to my needs, and the price is not expensive. 16-30 yuan, unlimited traffic, with some airtime. This roaming package is more cost-effective than driving China Mobile, you can go on facebook and ins anytime, anywhere, unlimited traffic, and no need to take the phone around to find where there is free wifi.
2. If you want to go to different places to play for a day or two, you can buy a one-day or two-day metro card. You can refer to Baidu for details. If you are in Hong Kong for a long time, it is recommended to get an Octopus card. If you have to pay a deposit, you can return the card for a refund when you leave Hong Kong. You can also get this from your mom or dad. In Hong Kong, Octopus is basically a universal card that covers basically all traffic, all 7/11, ok, stores in major shopping malls, especially food and beverage outlets. Because of the fast pace of Hong Kong people, buy a bottle of water for a few minutes will be urged to pick up coins or find large denomination bills, affecting the rhythm of the people behind the queue. So there's an octopus, no matter how much money, drop it, pick up something and run, and
3. Regarding accommodations, let me talk about a few hotels I've stayed at in different places. If you like shopping, malls, specialty restaurants and snack bars, you might want to check out the hotels near Mongkok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan that you can go to or on Fat Pig. I've stayed in a double room for over 300 before, of course the bed and bathroom are small but clean and you can store your luggage. For luxury shopping malls, check out the hotels in Causeway Bay and it's pretty easy to get to nearby Central Wan Chai. Last time I stayed in the neighborhood near Paterson Street (familiar?) There are over 700 houses and small bathrooms, but a five minute walk down the stairs is Soho and The Times, which saves time on the road and adds time for shopping. You can stay in Sham Shui_ if you want to eat old stores and snacks (fish ball, fried three treasures, wonton noodle, sugar water, beef mince) lined up at night for snacks. Here I recommend a "Mei Ho House Youth Hostel", which I stayed in not long ago (I forgot the name of the previous one, but only remember this one). This one can be booked online. Double room is more than 300, the room and bathroom are quite big, but nothing is included. Slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. You can buy them downstairs. But, of course, it is still recommended to bring your own. Youth hostels also have six rooms and eight rooms at a good price for those of you who want to save money alone. Where can I read or private message me for specific information? I also live in North Point. It's for work reasons. A hotel called Ibis is pretty good. the 700-800 double rooms are pretty small but more than clean and good service.
4. Regarding places to play, I often don't have much time to play in Hong Kong because of my work, so I'll just say a few recommended places I've been myself. The first is the Pacific Hill, where the night view is really amazing. I won't go into specific tips, but like me, you can go shopping at the famous escalators in Central and Chungking Forest, and then go to the underground bus station in Exchange Square and take bus 15 to the top of the hill ($9.80). If you don't know your way around Hong Kong, ask someone close to you, but make sure you find someone who doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Hong Kong people are actually very nice and will give you directions. Of course, you can also use Baidu or Goldmap. You can do the cable car from the top, but it's a multi-person cable car. It's not like there are only a few people. You can also drop the octopus. Secondly, Causeway Bay or Mongkok can be used for shopping, but it's best to avoid the Saturday and Sunday rush. Otherwise you'll know I'm just going to Innisfree to buy a face wash. Why do I have to wait in line for two hours? There are a few big shopping malls in Causeway Bay. If you want to buy skincare, cosmetics or luxury goods at the counter, it's better to go to Causeway Bay. If you want to buy ordinary Japanese or Korean brand Innisfree Ally Lodge, just go to Mongkok. By the way, there is also a Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui. Third, Stanley. Take bus 40 at Causeway Bay Deng Lung Street Station, passing through Repulse Bay Deep Water Bay. Stanley has a lot of foreigners and a turquoise water beach. You can go to the store next to the beach and buy a thick fried chicken. Quietly, quietly, an afternoon passed. It's quiet and relaxing. Four ocean parks and less than $300 spent on mom and dad. It's not as cheap as Changlong or Happy Valley in China, but it's really quite cheap in Hong Kong. After all, they 100 dollars a basic meal. If you don't want to play hand games, you can see marine animals, pandas, penguins, sharks, Chinese sturgeon and so on. The best part is that the subway to Ocean Park is now open, so it's very convenient.
5. How to prepare, how much money: In fact, Hong Kong is really a high consumption city, a little more budget is better. If you want to change the Hong Kong dollar, usually before departure in the bank to change, the exchange rate is okay. If I go through the port of Luohu or Shenzhen Bay, you can check today's exchange rate in advance, and then choose a higher exchange rate exchange store. It is not recommended to go to Hong Kong to exchange, but the exchange rate is really general. In fact, in Hong Kong, in addition to credit cards, savings cards are quite common. If you use a credit card to swipe them, it's so good that you forget you have to pay it back, and you're screwed. With a savings card, you at least know where your degree is. That's all I have on my card anyway. I used my savings card to swipe Wellcome, Sasa Joy, Innisfree and cosmetics, lipsticks and skincare counters. It's certainly more convenient now. Alipay and WeChat payments have slowly started to sweep Hong Kong and will definitely become more and more common in the future, so you must be able to reach out to people in Hong Kong and get online. In summary, I think tourists go to Hong Kong: cash Octopus savings card, credit card, Alipay WeChat.
As for how much cash to prepare, I assume that we bring enough cash to cover our normal daily expenses in Hong Kong (that is, excluding your accommodation, shopping, going to attractions). First, three meals. In Hong Kong, of course, you have to have breakfast at a special Hong Kong style teahouse. I'm sure you're all a little bit impressed from watching Hong Kong dramas. Most of the teahouses have breakfast packages, such as a diced squash package, a diced pork package, a ham and egg package, a scrambled egg package, an intestinal noodle/glutinous rice chicken package, a steamed dumpling and fried sausage package, a scrambled egg on toast and butter package, etc., all of which are served with milk tea, coffee, lemon tea, lemon and honey, and soymilk. There are a few things to pay attention to when eating breakfast in a Hong Kong style restaurant. First, don't mind the service attitude and keep your mind calm. Most of the waitresses in tea restaurants are amazons. They work under pressure and have a few minutes of fast pace. They are the new batch of diners and are not in the mood to give a good face and attitude. So if they have a bad attitude, don't feel upset and think they discriminate against mainlanders. When they go in, they will ask you "How many?" Then, after sitting down, they will wait for you to order with the order paper next to them. If you want to see more, politely tell her, "I'll take a look first and call you back. When ordering, be direct. Tell her what drink goes with the ABCD meal, cold or hot. Then they will immediately walk away to place their order. Pay attention to the menu. It's not uncommon for most teahouses to have "upcharges". Cold drinks need to be heated, instant noodles need to be added to the first ding with regular noodles and rice flour, so be sure to read the menu carefully. It is normal to have a table in a café, but the environment may be average. The rent is so expensive, so the space will be small and cramped, and it may be quite noisy and hot inside. But isn't that what makes Hong Kong so rustic? It is also a unique experience and experience. A set meal is about HK$28-40 and will be quite filling. If you want to save money, you can buy bread and milk. You can buy bread everywhere in Hong Kong. There is a bread for about 7-10 dollars, and there are many different kinds of milk that are delicious, about 5-10 dollars a bottle. And of course there is the Hong Kong style morning tea. If you want to eat it, prepare at least 100 if you are full.
There are many options for lunch and dinner. There is no shortage of food and cuisine in Hong Kong. You can do tips on other topics to see what's good to eat near where you're playing. I'll also cover some nice restaurants I've eaten at later. But in general, an average lunch will cost you 35-60 and dinner will cost you 35-100 dollars. Snacks are about $15-40. A bottle of drink at a convenience store is $6-15, and herbal tea and coconut water outside is $15-30. Afternoon tea is another matter.
Transportation is also a big expense in Hong Kong. If you don't have to take the subway to cross the sea (in Hong Kong you have to cross the sea between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and pay a sea fee), basically $5 for 2-1 stops is still affordable. Basic public transportation starts at $8 (Hong Kong's buses don't charge much in segments, from where you get on the bus to the end of the line. Usually you pay for the whole trip, so if you're only taking two or three stops, make sure you check to see if it's a cross-harbour bus or you'll really lose money. If the distance is farther, consider taking the bus) and the Star Ferry. For example, you can take the ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry to Central. I don't know if it's expensive now. It took more than 2 dollars in the previous years. There are also some Chinese buses. Everyone is ready to queue up a lot of people and it's fast. But make sure you read the route and don't get on the wrong bus.
In summary, I would suggest a budget of 150-230 RMB per day just for food, transportation, and water. (In a 3rd or 4th tier city like mine, I go out and turn right and get fried rice noodles for 5 dollars. ) I eat meat, vegetables, and eggs until I feel so full I want to throw up. Every time I come home from Hong Kong, I feel like home is heaven. Don't say 100 dollars a day. 50 dollars can eat all kinds of snacks, and you can grow five pounds in the specialty store).
7. On the recommended restaurants: I have not eaten much good food in Hong Kong, most of them are not online celebrity restaurants, but I will say. It is "West Tree Puffs". Mongkok MTR station near the E (as if) there is a, 20-30 yuan a. I think it's really good. I think it's really good. There are a lot of different flavors, and there are many stores in China. Secondly, "Fatty's Snack Bar" is in Mongkok, Baidu's exact location, but you don't have to look for it. It's fate that I came across it. Signature raw sausage, cuttlefish, chicken kidneys with special sweet noodle sauce and yellow mustard sauce, as well as some common braised beef tongue, pig's ear and so on. For those who like to snack, give it a try. If you don't eat mustard at all, it's not that heavy, or you can leave the sauce out and it's the flavor of braised pork. Third, Tan Chai Yunnan Rice Vermicelli. I heard from the owner that the store was bought by a Japanese ramen group but still not sold. As you can imagine, it's delicious and popular, with a variety of toppings in the soup base for a unique flavor. That's Si Kwan Kee Sharp Beef Brisket restaurant. The first time I ate it, it was amazing. Maybe I usually eat less brisket. This crisp brisket was so, indescribably delicious. It was Wuyi Lan Ramen. Although many people say balabala is better than the original delicious Dolphin King, I still think it's pretty good, especially because it's a real environment. In Japan, you can eat independently without fear of people smacking their lips or picking their noses if they see you eating. There are six types of Vibrant Sushi and Itaba Sushi***. There are not many types of vibrant sushi and the flavor is okay. There are many kinds of Itaba sushi. I especially like its eel sushi. It's Zidosho, recommended for morning tea and late night hot pot. I remember the last time I planned to have a late night snack with my friends at 11pm, but I was accidentally attracted by its hot pot. Monday through Friday there will be a lot of special hot pot dishes, eat until super full and super meaty 100 yuan for the average person. It's the Eight Golden Phoenix restaurant. This restaurant's famous steaks are really good and reasonably priced. Remember to add the iron plate. After you eat it, make sure you don't think that the 60 yuan yuu you've had in China before is beef. The location is a bit hard to find. It is on Lai Chi Kok Road, Sham Shui Po. This one is really recommended for wall cracks.
I've been to Super Hong Kong many times (they all flew in from Beijing or Chengdu for fun, you can see how much I love Hong Kong)
Remember to bring a thin jacket when you go out in the summer as the air conditioning is cold indoors, and be careful of catching a cold especially if you have a chance to spend a lot of time indoors.
Safety wise, I really think Hong Kong is safe in my mind. I often walk back to my hotel after 12pm to take a look around. That late? I don't see it being early in the morning now.
Accommodation-wise, I used to stay with a friend in a hotel in Jordan, which is very close to Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, and Mong Kok. Less than five minutes walk. It is the famous Yau Ma Tei police station, more than 300 a night. The conditions are okay. Just like a normal express hotel. The bathroom is spacious and has a bathtub. I don't know if you are cheap or you don't have enough knowledge.
If you want to play, Hong Kong's beaches, Repulse Bay, Stanley Shek O, and so on. All very nice. Go to Hollywood Road for the art museum. I also like the ding dong cars. It's worth the experience, but it can get hot in the summer. You can also visit universities, schools and museums in HKU. City University (or Polytechnic or University of Technology?). There is an innovative building designed by Zaha Hadid. In winter, I like to go to the Wetland Park. It seems like a hiking paradise in Hong Kong for migratory birds and hiking in the south.
Finally, I think Hong Kong people are actually very friendly and sometimes people offer to help without even asking.
Be especially careful with South Asians and blacks. These people are probably criminals.
When a Peking University student was raped in Chungking Mansions, two male students and I went to Chungking Mansions to explore.
First, go in from the G floor. There's an AV store at the entrance, selling all kinds of Japanese, Korean, European and American H-magazines, photoshoots and AVs, as well as dildos.
Go inside and it's full of South Asians, like traveling to India. There were some blacks and whites, but no Chinese.
All kinds of stalls, vendors, dirty environment.
There was an Indian restaurant on the third floor. We looked in the doorway and then an Indian guy came up to me nervously and asked if I wanted to come in for dinner. I said no, then he watched us nervously until we left.
The place where the girl was raped was a small hotel. The interior of the hotel was barely decorated, the walls were gray. And the toilets and showers were both male and female.
How the girl was raped:
This hotel is very cheap, only a few dozen Hong Kong dollars a night (sis, I wouldn't dare to stay at this price in the mainland).
This girl stayed in and went to the shower room to take a bath at night (Sis, do you dare to go there gender-neutral?). ,
After washing, I wrapped a bath towel and walked out. And I wasn't wearing anything (sis, that's dangerous anywhere! There's a whole bunch of Sango's out there, used to raping random women in India!) , kept that up and went back to my room without locking the door.
A Sango passed by and tried to rape her, but the girl still struggled for a long time.
I was raped, found out, and called the police.
I deleted the controversial sentence. What I meant was:
Many women scream at home that foreign countries are better than the mainland. Therefore, once they leave the mainland, they forget to protect themselves. This kind of place normal people dare not stay, but also to drive, let people speechless.
