1 About applying for visa:

I am not very familiar with this. I should bring all the requirements (it is best to call to ask for details) and go to the visa center to fill out the form and get the number.

After waiting 14 working days for the first time, you will have to wait 10 working days

2 Regarding how much money you can bring:

The official rule is 6,000 foreign currencies equivalent to USD 3,000 rmb

3 About accepting cards:

Now Hong Kong can accept not only Visa Master and American Express, but also UnionPay cards

4 About being in Hong Kong Shopping:

Personally, I think Causeway Bay is the best place for tourists. I believe there are more students here and the things they want to buy will not be too high-end, like Times Square.

Sogo and Mitsukoshi should be suitable. Of course when you go shopping, there are also some small streets and shops around these big shopping malls that you can go shopping when you have time

For those who want to buy some famous brands, Pacific Place in Jinjong and Lane Crawford in Central should be the same. What do you think?

When shopping, some merchants will put up a 1:1 sign for promotion. Please see clearly which currency is the best value

5 About snacks

My favorite is the one with spicy fish balls, the siu mai baby, and the other fried stuffed three treasure egg waffles

6 About desserts

I believe many people know about it My favorite is Liushan. The mangoes are so delicious

I recommend the poplar nectar from Manji downstairs in Times Square

Lian Xin:

The voltage in Hong Kong It is 220 volts, but their sockets are British style, so if you want to bring any charging equipment, you must bring a converter. Of course,

When you buy electrical products in Hong Kong, you should also check the included ones. Is it the British square head, or our flat head?

Mainland friends who travel to Hong Kong should also pay attention to whether it is an American-style hotel or a British-style hotel when choosing a hotel to live in. American-style hotels do not provide some Personal items

Personal items, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, slippers, etc.

As for communication issues in Hong Kong, I always buy a Sunday card, and it seems to cost 3-4 yuan to send back to China. It only takes a minute, and it’s almost the same price to send a text message

(It is recommended not to send it, as you won’t receive it in many cases) When you activate your card number, you will automatically be deducted 2 yuan, but I heard that now in the new era

The one in the world is the cheapest

This is the latest exchange rate. Another point is that it is not economical to exchange Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The exchange rates are different in different regions, especially in the Causeway Bay area. The exchange rates are relatively high. 1.:1.077 is probably the lowest recently, while in China it is only 1:1.065.

There are three places that I don’t like very much: You, Jian, and Mong. , the things here are relatively cheap, but the quality is hard to say, and generally speaking, the public security is not as good as that in Tongluowan. Besides, there are many shops in Tongluowan, so general shopping is enough.

Admiralty Taikoo and Central are relatively high-end, similar to our Hang Lung. Let’s see if it’s a good buy, but I can’t decide.

Camera equipment is very cheap in some small stores, but Most of them are parallel imports. It is recommended to go to Bainaohui and Fengze to buy them for peace of mind.

Food is very expensive, but you still have to try the unique ones, such as wonton noodles
