Matters needing attention in parent-child travel in Hong Kong

There are many people who choose parent-child tours in Hong Kong, so there is still a lot to pay attention to in this respect. So today, Bian Xiao will tell you about some matters needing attention in Hongkong, mainly in parent-child travel.

Precautions for parent-child travel 1. First of all, every family member needs to go to the entry-exit service hall where the household registration is located to apply for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass. Don't mind my nagging, so should the baby!

2. The direct flight from Beijing to Hong Kong takes about 3 hours 15 minutes. In the meantime, children may go to the toilet at any time. If it's too small, you'd better bring a urinal.

If there are many places to go in Hong Kong, it is recommended to bring a stroller. One-and-a-half-year-old children can be pushed in a stroller. Of course, some scenic spots are provided free of charge, such as Disneyland.

4. With younger children, it is important to note that children should not urinate in public places, and they should be prepared in advance if they defecate. Hong Kong people are very disgusted that mainlanders take their children to urinate everywhere.

5. Children like to eat snacks, so be sure not to eat snacks in public places such as subways and parks in Hong Kong.

Parents and children should not care too much about the distance between scenic spots in Hong Kong. It takes half an hour to get to Hong Kong Airport or Disneyland from anywhere near Hong Kong Island or Kowloon Subway Station, and it is hard to exceed one hour. As long as you don't live far from the subway and bus lines.

Unless there are special needs, the best accommodation places for parent-child tours in Hong Kong are Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui, with convenient transportation. Among mainland tourists, Tsim Sha Tsui is famous. You can see the night view of the Avenue of Stars, Harbour City and Victoria Harbour just by walking. The Science Museum and Space Museum are also concentrated in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is closer to the relatively cheap and popular commodity distribution center in Kowloon. The location of Central and Wan Chai is relatively golden, so the accommodation here is more expensive than that of Tsim Sha Tsui. Living in Central or Wan Chai, there are many subway, bus and ferry lines, so it is very convenient to take children to travel.

Other currencies

It is suggested to exchange Hong Kong dollars directly at the Bank of China, and choose the day with high exchange rate. You can also change money when you go to Hong Kong. The streets are full of currency exchange, but the exchange rate is not cost-effective. Actually, it's best to bring a credit card. If you go shopping, the shopping malls marked "UnionPay" generally have pos machines, and the credit card handling fee is deducted directly according to the exchange rate of the day.

The most cost-effective currency exchange method: If it's no trouble, you can exchange Hong Kong dollars in a commercial bank and then go to the Bank of China to exchange them. The power supply voltage in Hong Kong is 220 volts, but their sockets are in English, so if you want to bring any charging equipment, you'd better bring a converter. Of course, most hotels are equipped with transformers/converters for electrical appliances, and generally small electrical appliances brought from China can be used. Of course, when you buy electrical products in Hong Kong, you should also see whether you bring an English square head or a mainland flat head.
