What should I pay attention to when traveling to Hong Kong for the first time?
What should I bring before I go to Hong Kong?
passport
Everyone knows that you can't go to Hong Kong without a pass! So you can forget everything, not the pass.
The way to go
Go by plane.
② Go to Shenzhen first, take the subway to the customs and cross Hong Kong.
③ From Zhuhai to Macau, and from Macau to Hong Kong by boat.
When you arrive at the customs, please look around and line up according to the instructions (deep tourists take the designated e-way).
Documents required for customs clearance
① Hong Kong and Macao Pass
② ID card
It should be noted that please don't cross the red line when queuing. Customs officials will simply ask some questions (usually just your name), and please take off your sunglasses and hat (show your face) when you go through customs.
How do mainlanders go to Hong Kong?
identity card
Why did you bring this thing? If you are in Hong Kong, you must show your ID card when you are on a business trip or handling administrative affairs. In case you lose your pass, there is an ID card to prove your identity, so in China, which is vast and rich in resources, there is nothing wrong with bringing your ID card!
Open international roaming mobile phone
Don't think that Hongkong is the territory of China, but your GSM can be used everywhere. You're all wet! So at this time, you should know that you can only use it after consulting all mobile phone operators and opening international roaming! If we go to Hong Kong together and friends around us can make phone calls, then we don't need to drive, because the cost of driving is calculated by the day, and the cost of making phone calls is more expensive, so we don't have to think about surfing the Internet.
Wallet-exchange for Hong Kong dollars
About how to exchange Hong Kong dollars, I have a very detailed explanation in my experience, so I can refer to it. I suggest you exchange Hong Kong dollars at the port. Hong Kong can only use Hong Kong dollars, and RMB will be very troublesome!
Buy octopus
If you often go to Hong Kong, I suggest you buy Octopus, which, as the name implies, extends in all directions. In many places in Hong Kong, you can use it by bus, eating and convenience stores! Not necessarily. You can also choose a one-day pass or a ticket!
Matters needing attention during your stay in Hong Kong:
1 Comply with local laws.
1) Please take your Hong Kong and Macao Pass with you and keep it safe so that the local police can check it at any time. If you lose it, please call the police immediately.
2) Obey traffic laws and regulations: As cars in Hong Kong and Macao drive on the left side of the road, please look to the right and then to the left when crossing the road. Observe the signal lights, stop at the red light, go at the green light and take the crosswalk.
3) No littering or spitting, and offenders will be fined.
4) Don't smoke in non-smoking places.
5) Do not engage in any paid work.
2 matters needing attention in the hotel
1) Most hotels in Hong Kong are American hotels, and there are no personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers. Please bring it yourself.
There is pay TV in the hotel. If you watch this TV, please pay at the front desk when you leave.
3) The food in the mini-fridge in the hotel room is not included in the tour fee. If you like the food, please pay at the front desk when you leave the hotel.
4) Use the telephone in the hotel room to make local and long-distance calls, please pay consciously.
5) Do not bring durian and other fruits with strong smell into the hotel for use.
3 Currency and exchange rate:
1) The common currency in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar, and RMB can only be used in a few shops such as jewelry stores.
2) Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged in banks, hotels or replacement shops.
3) According to the regulations of the Bank of China, mainland residents going to Hong Kong and Macao can exchange 65,438+0,000 US dollars with their Hong Kong and Macao Pass (each child under 65,438+0.4 can exchange 500 US dollars).
4 shopping:
1) Hong Kong's digital products, jewelry, cosmetics and other items are inexpensive and worth buying.
2) When shopping, it is more secure to go to the shops with the signs of "Hong Kong Famous Brand Management Center", "Hong Kong Tourism Board" or "HKFB".
3) Be sure to see clearly what you want to buy, and then pay after you get it.
4) Be cautious when shopping overseas. In case of exchange, the guest takes care of himself, and the travel agency is not responsible.
5 Seek emergency rescue:
In case of emergency, including loss, theft, accident,
Injury, emergency, fire, etc. You can call 999 for help. You can call this number for free from public telephones in Hong Kong. In addition, you can also report the case to the policeman or police station on the street.
According to international practice, you should tip when traveling abroad.
Take care of your valuables and beware of pickpockets.
