Many friends who want to travel to Hong Kong should want to know some relevant knowledge about Hong Kong travel. What are the precautions and common scams when traveling to Hong Kong? The following article is compiled by me, I hope it can help. you.

1. Pass: Apply at the entry-exit hall of each region. You need to bring a photo, ID card, and household registration book. The production cost is about 100 yuan, and it takes about half a month to get it. You can choose ens to mail it or pick it up yourself. There is an additional fee of 20-40 yuan for mailing. It comes with a passbook photo. I applied for it a little early, but now I have replaced it with a card that looks like an ID card. It is much more convenient to pass by fingerprints.

2. Octopus: You can buy Octopus at the Luohu Hall information desk at the Luohu entrance. You can buy it at almost every subway station with an information desk. The card fee is 50 yuan (which is the deposit). Be careful not to scratch the sticker. It can be refunded when you leave. It is recommended to recharge 100 yuan first. The fare is a little expensive. It doesn’t matter if you recharge more. You can swipe your Octopus when eating and shopping. If it doesn’t work, we can refund it, right?

3. Converter: Hong Kong socket and mainland China socket Different, there are three ports, which are usually available in family hotels, but you can bring spare ones.

4. Mobile WiFi: Although there is free WiFi in many areas in Hong Kong, you need to register, and it seems that you can only register on mobile phones. You can rent one nearby. However, the power of mobile wifi can only last for a few hours. If you use it for a long time, the power of mobile wifi is not enough.

5. In fact, I personally think that phone cards are better. It is cost-effective to buy phone cards! There are phone cards specially for tourists, and they are sold in 711 and OK convenience stores everywhere. There is no need to buy them on Taobao. You can just use them when you come to Hong Kong. Just find one to buy from. Setting up a phone card is easy! Just send a message and make a call. It’s not difficult, and you can ask the store clerk to help you.

6. Can speak a few basic Cantonese. Even though I didn’t mean it myself, I said it. I always speak Mandarin subconsciously. Moreover, the clerks in tea restaurants all speak Cantonese to you. Of course, I don’t think it matters much if you don’t. You can just point to the menu when ordering. . .

7. The subway in Hong Kong is divided into first class and ordinary class. Be careful when getting on the subway. To travel in first class, you need to buy a first class ticket or have a confirmed Octopus to travel in first class. If you find that a passenger does not hold a valid first class one-way ticket or holds an Octopus card that has not been confirmed by first class and travels in first class, a surcharge of HK$500 will be required. . Serious cases will be prosecuted and fined up to HK$5,000.

8. Victoria Peak: There are too many people on the Peak Tram. When I went there during the festival, the queue lasted for two hours, and the one-way ticket was 28 yuan. Personally, I think it’s more cost-effective to buy a one-way ticket. Because you have to queue up to take the cable car down. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, you have to transfer to the bus again. And there aren't many buses nearby. Therefore, it is recommended to take the bus back directly. You can go directly to Wan Chai, Admiralty and other places. In addition, when there is fog on the mountain, the night view on the top of the mountain is very average, because there is too much fog and it is not very clear. It’s also difficult to take photos that feel right.

9. Victoria Harbor: The scenery on the Avenue of Stars is beautiful, and there is also some unique culture, including the handprints of various stars and the bronze statue of Bruce Lee. When the weather is fine and the sea breeze blows slowly, I feel really comfortable.

10. Golden Bauhinia Square: It’s a good choice to come over after 7 o’clock in the morning to watch the flag raising. The sea breeze is also very comfortable. And the feeling of seeing buildings in front of you from a distance on the Avenue of Stars is sometimes quite amazing.

11. University of Hong Kong: What impressed me most is that their poster design looks more interesting than our school. There is a feeling of high quality. And the architecture is quite interesting. I haven’t visited them all, so I won’t comment. Lu Chi is so scary, I walked away from the University of Hong Kong without even noticing it. Later, I thought that the steep and long steps leading up were the secret place leading to HKU. In the end it turned out to be a relatively desolate park. It’s called Longhu Mountain, which is simply sad.

12. Had a meal at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. It cost fifty oceans. But I still think it’s okay. Soup and milk tea are provided. I have never eaten in a restaurant of this style before, so I still thought it was quite fresh. After I came back, I heard from my classmates that the food in Wangzai was cheaper.

A meal can be purchased for around 20 Hong Kong dollars. Friends who are short of money can consider going there for a stroll.

13. Food in Hong Kong is really expensive. It is recommended that you prepare a strategy in advance. However, some local specialties are delicious and you can try them, such as "lattice pancakes" and "curry fish eggs". By the way, there are sandwich buns that can be seen everywhere on the street. One is meat, and the other is stuffed with something I don’t know. It’s very delicious. The meat bun seems to be called “cocktail bun” (I don’t know if that’s how it’s written). It’s delicious. You can buy some to eat when you’re tired of shopping.

14. When taking the bus or subway, remember to bring a thin jacket or shawl, because the subway and bus can be very cold, and those with poor physical fitness may catch colds and runny noses every minute.

15. If you go to Disney and Ocean Park, it is recommended to go early, otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy anything if there are many people queuing behind. By the way, Hong Kong Disney does not allow you to bring food in, you can only bring a bottle. When entering the water, you will check your bag before entering. There are several attractions in Disney where you can get express cards. This card helps you queue up. When you get your number, you can go directly to play. If you pass it, it will not work. The details are like That's right. If you want to know the specifics, you can check the guide. If you really don't know where to get it, you can ask the staff. They can speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

16. Book a hotel online in advance. Hong Kong hotel prices fluctuate greatly with the off-peak and peak seasons, especially during holidays. Prices from Friday to Sunday usually also increase. The earlier you book a hotel, the greater the discount will be, based on the experience of those who have been there.

17. Many old gourmet restaurants in Hong Kong do not accept credit cards and only accept small amounts of Hong Kong dollars (less than 500 Hong Kong dollars). You must exchange enough Hong Kong dollars before going, otherwise you will miss a lot of delicious food.

18. The service attitude in Hong Kong may not be as good as you think. Most people in the service industry have a creditor attitude, so be mentally prepared and don’t mind it too much.

19. What needs to be noted here is that because some stores write the price of Shanghai delicacies on their price lists, when tourists buy it, the store says that the price is not in kilograms, but in taels. In addition, the methods of calculating "jin" are different in the mainland and Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, "1 catty is 16 taels" and in the mainland, "1 catty is 10 taels". The two are far apart. If tourists don't know the difference, they will suffer a big loss.

20. Mainland tourists generally have confidence in Hong Kong products, but some shops sell counterfeit goods and counterfeit goods. Many high-priced goods such as famous watches, designer handbags and sneakers are counterfeit, but Selling them at genuine prices, the tourists not only suffered monetary losses, but also felt angry after traveling all the way to Hong Kong to buy fake goods. Therefore, be sure to check the regular specialty stores online to ensure that the quality is acceptable.

21. Some tourists also suffer due to cultural differences. It seems that Internet cafes are popular in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. However, Internet cafes in Beijing and Shanghai are places for people to surf the Internet, while the Yau Tsim Mong District in Hong Kong However, some "Internet cafes" in China are "trading sheep's heads and selling dog meat" and engage in illegal activities. Mainland customers who are not familiar with the difference between them may be forced to pay hundreds of dollars in "start-up fees" and "service fees" when they see the Internet cafe sign and come to help. When they find that the "product is not the right version" and ask to leave, they may be forced to pay hundreds of dollars in "start-up fees" and "service fees."

22. Taxis are a means of transportation that tourists often come into contact with, but a small number of taxi drivers will overcharge tourists, including not charging according to the meter, and will also randomly add surcharges, overcharge luggage fees and Tunnel tolls, etc. Even if fares are charged according to the meter, some drivers know that mainland tourists are not familiar with the road and will take random routes to increase the fare. Some hotels provide tourists with the service of checking route prices, so that tourists can know the fare before taking a taxi.
