Of course, it is the most convenient to go from Luohu. After the customs, we arrived at Luohu, the terminal of Dadong Railway. There is a service office in the lobby, where you can handle Octopus and speak Mandarin.
Huanggang Port and Shenzhen Bay Port have not yet handled Octopus service, so they need to buy their own tickets to ride.
When you arrive in Hongkong, you can apply for Octopus at any subway service hall of East Rail and West Rail, and at the same time, you can collect a deposit of US dollars from 50 yuan.
If you no longer need Octopus, you can return it and you will be refunded 50 yuan dollars.
At the same time, Octopus is the most popular payment method in Hong Kong. You can use it to buy things in convenience stores, fast food restaurants and supermarkets. Almost many shops have Octopus, and you can see it when you come to Hong Kong.
At the same time, you can take buses, minibuses, light rail, west rail, east rail and subway.
Of course, if you stay in Hong Kong for a long time, you can also participate in many merchants' integral activities, which are also completed with Octopus.
When you go out in Hong Kong, you basically have to bring your key, ID card, credit card and Octopus. You don't have to bring any cash.
Also remind you! Try to save money with Octopus, because you may use Octopus (200 yuan dollars or more) to buy big items, so you can recharge it in any convenience store, East Rail, West Rail and subway station service hall. Maximum recharge 1000 Hong Kong dollars. Generally, when handling Octopus, you need to recharge 100 HKD +50 yuan deposit.
If Octopus runs out of money, please don't panic. Octopus can overdraw. The maximum overdraft limit is 50 yuan, or one-time consumption.
In other words, your Octopus balance can become negative, but you can only spend it once. For example, if you go back to your residence by car and find that you don't have enough money, you can rest assured that you will get on the bus and overdraw, but there is only one chance. Find a place to charge as soon as possible after getting off the bus.
Another reminder about the exchange of Hong Kong dollars!
Please don't rely too much on finding a store. Those people make money at a low exchange rate, which means that the exchange rate is very low for you. It is suggested that you use UnionPay (any bank savings card can be used) to withdraw money or spend money in Hong Kong. Of course, your ATM withdrawal in Hong Kong will be charged a handling fee around 20 yuan, but if the withdrawal amount exceeds 2,000, you can exchange 200 yuan RMB for about Hong Kong dollars.
If the store where you buy goods supports UnionPay cards, then you will make a big profit. UnionPay card swiping not only does not charge a handling fee, but also has a high exchange rate, which can be said to be a big province!
