What procedures do you need to go through in Hong Kong? What are the fun places in Hong Kong? What issues should I pay attention to?

A complete guide for working people to travel independently in Hong Kong

1. Preparation:

I personally think that an important prerequisite for going shopping in Hong Kong is to find a good partner.

The requirements for accomplices are to have good temperament and equal income (I have also been with some BOBOs. When people go shopping like crazy in LV, GUCCI, and BOSS, we feel uncomfortable). Favorite brands It’s almost the same. The food tastes the same. Don’t worry too much about everything. Good JM. Facts have proved that having a good JM really saves money. First of all, there may be some discounts if two people sign up together :) And if you know each other well, there is no single room in a hotel. The price difference also avoids the embarrassment of sharing a room with strangers in the group; and when shopping in Hong Kong during promotions, there are often temptations such as buying one item at 40% off or two items at 50% off. Then you know you are looking for the right JM The benefits~~~huohuohuo~~~

2. A trolley suitcase with wheels, the capacity should be large, and then put a bag given by the travel agency. I have been using HUNTER recently

LEE, a brand from Fujian, because this company is mainly engaged in foreign trade, the tie rods are very strong, and the quality is very good. D said:) Many people think that it only takes three or four days to get to Hong Kong, so just pack a smaller bag. , this is wrong, because it is difficult to withstand the temptation of SHOPPING here! So it is better to bring a big suitcase. The travel agency bag is still very useful at critical moments, at least it can stuff a lot of clothes

3. Find a good travel agency: Find one with good credit, don’t look for cheap ones. Xiaozhu is a professional traveler and knows that you get what you pay for. First, ask the airline. Personally, I prefer Dragonair, but I suggest that you choose a good time for your flight: there is no point in taking off in the evening, and you will waste a whole day. It is better to fly to Hong Kong in the morning and take off from Hong Kong in the evening, so you have much more time:)< /p>

The second is the hotel: if you want to go shopping, the hotel must at least have convenient transportation. Ask the travel agency about the hotel’s location. Traffic conditions are a very important part.

Okay, JMS: Let’s talk now Let’s talk about an important and indispensable step in preparation: applying for a certificate, because

The situation in different places is different. I will take Fuzhou as an example to talk about this:

In Fuzhou, the urban household registration You can apply for independent travel, but Mawei and Baxian County are not yet available; you have to go first

Bashi (beside the Times Golden Code) can get an application form for free with your ID card. It is best to take pictures on the edge. It's more expensive, but it's guaranteed to be qualified. I tried to take pictures on the street and handed them in, saying that this photo didn't work and that it didn't work, and I was told to take it aside. But to be honest, the photo showed me squinting! Then Just affix the photo to the application form and submit it to the work unit for political review. If you don’t have an work unit, you have to go to the police station to have your fingerprints stamped

For a certificate of non-criminal record, luckily I have an work unit! After all this trouble, I just take my ID card.

, bring the original household registration book, copy, application form, and two more photos to the Eighth Office. The application is pretty fast now, usually 15 working days is OK. If you are too lazy to go to the Eighth Office to get it, just add it. Give them 20 yuan to courier to your home. Remember to apply for the certificate in person. Not to mention the travel agency, your relatives can't do it for you! Just check "individual travel" for the purpose of travel, because if you type "group", you will need the travel agency's invoice. .The certificate you finally got is blue, valid for five years, and you can stay in Hong Kong for 7 days with the independent travel endorsement. But if you want to go for the second time, you have to add the endorsement again. I wish you good luck, and by the way, passport The same goes for the application!

After the certificate is issued, the blue book is valid for five years, but the endorsement can only stay in Hong Kong for 7 days and is valid for 3 months. But seriously, 7 days It’s more than enough. After all, Hong Kong is as big as Fuzhou City and has convenient transportation. It’s easy to finish shopping.

Okay, now let’s talk about when is the best time to go to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is actually a All seasons are suitable for traveling. If you want to visit tourist attractions, don’t choose a day that is too hot. After all, queuing up under the bright sun at Ocean Park and DISNEY is not a pleasant thing. But for me, the main purpose is not to play but I’m here for shopping. I have a suggestion for JMS: The first one is from New Year’s Day to Spring Festival. Many people will say that Christmas is good, but I think Christmas is not our holiday. Asking for leave is a headache, but New Year’s Day is different. , at least there are three days! 2 is the period from August to early September every year, when summer clothes are cleared! Just look at this picture!

This

It was the company's vacation last year, and the vast army of troops set out in four directions, and I chose Hong Kong. Although I have been there many times, after all, traveling on business and paying for it at your own expense are two different things! But it was really embarrassing on the day of departure. I was late. I dragged a huge box and checked it in under the glare of everyone. I was very depressed~~~Now that the border defense is reformed, you don’t even need to fill in the exit card. It saves trouble~~~~We here Group

(Because we are traveling together with colleagues, we have already formed a group. Such air tickets and room rates are much cheaper. The air ticket + hotel I took is about RMB 2,000) There are F visas and S visas. , L visa, so the border guard was still asking questions on the return trip...

When I arrived at the Hong Kong Airport, I took a ride with a beautiful girl and went to the hotel to check in. In the past, I walked to the station where the station wagon parked* or It's the Airport Express, so this time I walked to the parking area of ??the private car. It was a bit novel, so I took a photo.

The plane was operated by Dragonair, but this year the time of Dragonair has been adjusted. I just flew in the evening and I was very depressed

By the way, I would like to give you a suggestion: exchange the Hong Kong dollars at home before coming back. Because there are many places to exchange money in Hong Kong and the exchange rates are also different, it is necessary to bring an international card from Bank of China. , because according to my shopping experience, Bank of China often has some joint activities with merchants, and points can be exchanged for miles. Many friends asked if UnionPay can also be used, and it can be used, and some points can be doubled, but the exchange rate requires I suffered a small loss. When Xiangtong Street was 1.04, the UnionPay exchange rate was about 1.045. Of course a working-class person like me has to worry about it!

After arriving at the Hong Kong Airport, it is time to go to the hotel. The transportation at the Hong Kong Airport It’s very convenient. If you want to go faster, just buy the train. It’s 100HKD for one person, but it’s 160HKD for two people, so this is a discount for a two-person trip~~~

However, in order To save money, I chose the bus. There is a bus stop to the right from this place. Route A11 goes to Hong Kong Island and stops at many hotels along the way. However, last year I took a group bus, so I can take advantage of it.

The bus fee is 40HKD per person~~~

The location of the hotel is very important to us. I personally like the MetroPark in Tin Hau. It is less than 10 minutes' walk to Causeway Bay and close to the subway. The room facilities are good and the waiters are friendly. Victoria Park is only a few steps away, and the library is only a few minutes away. When you go out, turn right and you will see the Tin Hau Temple. Besides, there is a street where everyone has delicious sweets! ! ! There are two large supermarkets downstairs, which is very convenient to buy fruits and other things.

Last year I stayed at Metropark, METRO

PARK, I was so happy! ! ! I like the simple style of the room very much. I went on a group tour. I and a few girls who had the hotel + air tickets arrived early. We chatted with the receptionist and went to the room to see that we were given a room with a view of Victoria Bay. The beautiful sea view room, surprise... secretly happy. . . .

PS: It is strongly recommended that XDJMS go to Hong Kong for independent travel and do not go with those cheap groups!

Last year, during the Hong Kong Tourism Bureau’s promotion in Fuzhou, I received an Octopus card with HKD 88 in it. This saved us from having to carry heavy coins in our pockets. There are many places where you can recharge and buy things (it turns out that this card is so useful, I still use it today!)

I started shopping after lunch. The first day was basically just shopping. Lord, don't rush to buy, learn about the market by shopping...

It only takes 7 or 8 minutes to walk from the hotel to Causeway Bay, but it was raining, so I still got into the subway station. Hong Kong's The subway is a very convenient means of transportation, and Octopus offers a 10% discount! 3.6HKD I really admire Hong Kong’s transportation planning. More than 6 million people live in a small area, forming a busy but efficient transportation network from the sky to the ground.

But I regret it, because I later learned that the hotel has a free shuttle bus to Causeway Bay

Go to Times Square first

I was asked to buy something from LANCOME, I originally thought SASA Bonjour and other small stores can help brothers save some money. Unexpectedly, many newly launched skin care products are only sold at counters, so they can only transfer them back to Lane Crawford. A tube of whitening and repairing essence that claims to be able to remove spots costs more than 700 RMB in Dayang, but it costs HKD520 here. A body spray that costs more than 430 RMB in Fuzhou costs 320 HKD here.

Because some sisters have gone to a certain place in Fuzhou. She bought Zishengtang in the store, but later the store actually called her to recycle the packaging boxes, bottles, etc. From then on, a group of people who played together started talking, it would be safer to buy at the Hong Kong counter

Recently, I learned that the prices of cosmetics at DFS, department stores, and SASA in Hong Kong are very different. Generally speaking, the products in DFS and department stores are fresher, which means that the production date is closer, but the prices in SASA are different. This is A friend asked me to buy Estée Lauder eye cream this time. It was 360HKD at DFS. It sold for 310HKD during the promotion period, but it was 215HKD at Sa Sa! ! ! Wow~~~~ But the store clerk told me that the production date was at the end of last year. I was just about to collect the serial numbers of various cosmetics. Many friends have designated to buy it in department stores now.

You have to go through this street from Times Square to SOGO. There are often special sales on the ninth floor of SOGO. This year, I came across a special sale on shoes, bags and hats. The latest ECCO shoes were on sale for about HKD 400. I waited until I made up my mind. When I rushed over again, I saw that the sports goods sale had been changed. I was depressed~~~~

These Milan stations and Paris stations all sell second-hand designer bags. No matter how second-hand they are, they are still expensive. Look. Just take a look

Let’s go back to the hotel after understanding the market situation. JM is my colleague, and he gossips like me. D said, as soon as we settle down, we will buy some newspapers and read them from above. Find out which restaurants have special offers and the like. . . . . . .

It’s really fun! Maxim's launched a 38HKD coconut cup. I looked at the rumors but couldn't find Maxim's. . . Later, I also found the King of Steakhouses

For a few days, meals were basically served in restaurants with porridge, noodles, etc. AA cost about 70HKD per person

From the hotel Go out and walk right, cross the street and you will see the place in the photo. I like this place because the sweets are so delicious!

When I was here last time, I stayed in Happy Valley. I even took a jingle ride to Tin Hau to burn incense and drink sugar water. Slander, there is really no way. ． ． ．

Business here is very light during the day. At night, after ten o'clock, there are pink cars parked in front of many small shops.
