According to industry insiders, most people who go shopping in Hong Kong will choose to travel freely. Many people think that free travel is simply a matter of "hotel+air ticket". In fact, with the constant changes in the market, the services provided by travel agencies have also begun to diversify. Just freedom, there are several choices. Some are time-consuming and laborious but save money, some are time-saving, labor-saving and money-saving, but they have to bear travel restrictions, and some can travel by themselves. The phrase "what suits you is the best" also applies to the choice of tourist routes.

Go to Shenzhen by plane, and then enter Hong Kong by bus.

Suitable for people: shoppers who are not afraid of trouble and want to save money. Reference price: four-day tour1from 800 yuan.

Many people know the way to fly to Shenzhen first and then take a bus to Hong Kong, but many people don't know that there is a difference between this way. The difference is mainly reflected in the bus journey from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. Here is a direct bus line from Shenzhen airport to Hong Kong and Kowloon subway station. Because the pass of this road is newly opened, there are fewer people, and there is almost no need to queue up for customs clearance. In addition, the bus is also very luxurious. On the return trip, you can also change your boarding pass directly at Kowloon Station, which saves the trouble of changing your card at the airport.

It is understood that most shoppers like to travel freely in Hong Kong for four days. If you choose to fly to Shenzhen first, and then take a bus to Kowloon subway station at the airport, the price of the same quality line will be 400 yuan cheaper than that of direct flights to Hong Kong to 500 yuan or even more. "This route is an exclusive product at present, because it involves cross-border bus services in Hong Kong, Macao and other places," explained Lengbing, deputy general manager of the Exit Center of  International Travel Service.

Insiders' comments: Although this way is to fly from Shanghai to Shenzhen first and then enter Hong Kong by car, it only takes about half an hour to fly directly from Shanghai to Hong Kong. It takes 2.5 hours for Shanghai to fly directly to Hong Kong, 2 hours for Shanghai to Shenzhen, and the whole journey takes about 60 minutes by bus. Because this route has many advantages, such as low price and almost no queue. Many people have a soft spot for it, especially young people.

Direct flight to Hong Kong for free travel

Suitable for the crowd: I have had many experiences in Hong Kong and pursued high-quality travel life. Reference price: Four-star hotels in the city center start from 4,000 yuan for a four-day tour.

This kind of route is relatively the most leisure and can best meet the individual needs of tourists. Choose any flight time and any hotel. Direct flight to Hong Kong saves the trouble of tossing and turning in the middle and reduces the rush of the journey. For shopping groups, hotels are arranged in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, and shopping centers are places to go out. Everyone likes this kind of trip, but the line cost is much higher than other types mentioned above.

For a three-night and four-day trip, choose a four-star hotel in the city center. The price of air tickets, hotels and airport transfers alone is about 4000 yuan. Of course, you can definitely live comfortably and swim happily. If you take your children and take advantage of the rare annual leave, you can also travel to Disney. Really realize "I am the master of travel"!

Insiders' comments: This line is specially customized. There is no team constraint, and there is no need to worry about the number of people traveling. Tourists can choose all the services they need to travel at will, and travel agencies can provide services according to their personal requirements.

In addition to air tickets and hotels, it can also help tourists book tickets for any local attractions in Hong Kong. This line customization service is suitable for high-end groups with economic strength, more Hong Kong experience and requirements for travel quality.

semi-guided tour

In fact, for Hong Kong routes, all routes have free travel time, only the difference in the length of time, so the standard for defining semi-free travel is somewhat vague. The route recommended to the shopping group today belongs to the situation that the sightseeing and shopping time is 50/50.

Half time shopping, half time playing.

Suitable for people: Hong Kong first shopping group reference price: four-day trip1from 900 yuan.

Now there are many four-day Hong Kong routes, one and a half days for sightseeing and one and a half days for free shopping. It is understood that the price of such routes is about 500 yuan cheaper than that of four-day free travel routes of the same quality, or even more than that of 600 yuan, and one and a half days' shopping time is almost enough for some people.

In addition, the tourist attractions arranged by travel agencies are also landmark tourist destinations in Hong Kong, such as Ocean Park, Taiping Mountain and Victoria Harbour. But during the one-and-a-half-day trip, most routes will arrange two shopping spots, usually jewelry stores and watch shops.

Hotels on such routes are often not fixed, and most of them stay far from the city center on the first day. After the next day's tour, tourists began to move closer to the city center, and then hotels for the night were also arranged in the city center or near the subway. This arrangement is to facilitate sightseeing and save costs.

Insiders' comments: Except for two shopping spots, this route takes up half a day, and the rest of the time is purely sightseeing and free shopping. According to the new regulations, travel agencies cannot force tourists to shop, so regular travel agencies will not "touch the thunder" and everyone can come and go freely.

In addition, because the travel agency provides meals during the tour, it also saves some costs for everyone. Need to remind everyone that the location of the hotel is more important during shopping, preferably close to the subway or directly in the shopping area, which is also a key factor in determining the price of the line.

Tips for free travel in Hong Kong

The so-called free travel means flying to Hong Kong by yourself, and you have to stay in the hotel yourself. This kind of trip requires you to have a strong grasp of the traffic in Hong Kong.

Public transport in Hong Kong is very developed. I suggest you buy Octopus, which is available at the airport. Just like the bus card in Shanghai, it can be used in a wider range, including the cost of going back and forth to the airport, subway, bus and ferry. After this card is recharged, it will be unimpeded in Hong Kong. Compared with taking a taxi or taking a bus stop, the transfer time can also be used to experience Hong Kong-style cuisine, which is a good opportunity to experience Hong Kong's multiculturalism.
