I want to travel to Hong Kong. Please introduce the characteristics of Hong Kong.

Hong kong-international business center

Excellent geographical location (South Gate of China)

Hong Kong is located at the southeast end of China and at the center of rapidly developing East Asia. Hong Kong has a total area of about 65,438+0,65,438+000 square kilometers, which consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula separated by a sea and the New Territories, with the suburbs mostly concentrated in the New Territories. The 235 outlying islands in Hong Kong are also included in the New Territories, and Lantau Island is the most widely known. Lantau Island is not only the location of Hong Kong's new airport, but also the location of Hong Kong Disneyland. It's very convenient to drive or take the central railway, and you can get there directly. Hong Kong companies have established extensive business contacts in Asia and around the world, and Hong Kong entrepreneurs enjoy a high reputation overseas for their business acumen and "business acumen". Hong Kong has a deep-water port with a population of 6.8 million. Adhering to the industrious spirit of China people, it has an inseparable relationship with China. Hong Kong people are flexible, highly educated and full of entrepreneurial spirit, which is the reason why Hong Kong can explode amazing productivity and creativity. Hong Kong has a special geographical position. When night falls in North America, the European countries are at dawn, and the sun shines in Hong Kong. In other words, as long as multinational companies have offices in North America and Hong Kong, or Europe and Hong Kong at the same time, they can actually take advantage of the time difference between the two places to operate 24 hours a day and handle different projects. It is undoubtedly very convenient for companies engaged in information technology and financial services.

Global service center

Over 80% of Hong Kong's GDP comes from the service industry. The service industry covers everything, from sea and air transportation all over the world to contracted production and software design, reaching the international advanced level. In view of fierce competition, the charges for many services in Hong Kong are the lowest in the world. In recent years, with the opening of the international long-distance telephone market, the long-distance telephone charges in Hong Kong have also dropped significantly. At present, the cost of calling the United States from Hong Kong is even cheaper than that between American states.

Regional headquarters of multinational corporations

In 1999, there were 880 companies with Hong Kong as their regional headquarters in Asia. American companies set up the most regional headquarters in Hong Kong (205), followed by Japan (1 14) and Britain (82). In addition, about 1, 650 countries have chosen Hong Kong as their regional office. The main businesses of these regional headquarters include wholesale/retail, import and export trade, other commercial services (such as accounting, advertising, law and other industries), finance, manufacturing, transportation and related services.

1 About endorsement:

I am not familiar with this. I should take everything I need (specifically, I'd better call to ask) to the visa center to get the form, fill it out and get the number.

After waiting 14 working days for the first processing, it means waiting 10 working days.

2 About how much money you can bring:

The official regulation is foreign currency equivalent to 3000 USD +6000 RMB.

3 About card dropping:

Now Hong Kong can accept visa master, American Express and UnionPay cards.

4 About shopping in Hong Kong:

Personally, I think Causeway Bay is the best place for tourists. I believe there are more students here, and the things I want to buy will not be too high-end. For example, sogou in Times Square should be very suitable for you to visit. Of course, there are also some small streets around these big shopping malls, so you can go shopping when you have time.

If you want to buy some famous brands, Jin Yong's Pacific Place and Lane Crawford in Central should meet your needs.

When shopping, some merchants will put up the brand 1: 1 for promotion. Please see what currency to give.

5 About snacks

Personally, I like spicy fish eggs and others, as well as three treasures fried eggs and so on.

6 About dessert

I believe many people know Xu Liushan. I like mangoes there best.

Recommend Yangzhi Ganlu, which is full of records downstairs in Times Square.

Lotus plumule:

The voltage in Hong Kong is 220 volts, but their sockets are in English, 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 whether you bring English square head or our flat head.

Mainland friends who travel to Hong Kong should also pay attention to whether they are American hotels or English hotels when choosing hotels. American hotels do not provide some personal items, such as toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers.

As for the correspondence in Hong Kong, I always buy a Sunday card, and it seems that it takes 3-1 minute to call back to 4 yuan. Sending a text message is almost the same price (it is recommended not to send it, in many cases I can't receive it). I will automatically deduct 2 yuan from you when I start the card number, but I heard that the new world is the cheapest now.

This is the latest exchange rate. It is not cost-effective to exchange Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The exchange rates in different regions are different, especially in Causeway Bay. The exchange rate is relatively high, 1. : 1.077 is estimated to be the lowest recently, while only 1: 1.065 is available in China.

There are three places that people don't like very much, such as oil, Sharp and prosperity. Things here are cheaper, so the quality is hard to say. And on the whole, law and order is really no better than Causeway Bay. Moreover, there are many shops in Causeway Bay, and general shopping is enough.

Admiralty Taikoo and Central are relatively high-end, similar to our Hang Lung. See if you can buy it, but you can't.

Camera equipment in some small shops will be very cheap, but most of them are parallel imports. It is recommended to buy in Bainaohui and Fengze. Don't worry.

Food is expensive, but you should try something special, such as Wonton Noodles.

Public security punishment: Hong Kong imposes heavy penalties for undermining social morality, and a fine of HK$ 65,438+0,500 is usually imposed for littering and spitting in public places.

Hong Kong-Don't go shopping where the guide takes you. They are all unsecured goods, which may not rot, but they are worse in other places. For example, digital cameras only have 32M memory, and things in Mong Kok are cheaper. The subway is recommended for transportation.

Every hotel has a map. You have to understand for yourself. I don't know which room you want to stay in. Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged or not. You can swipe your card (UnionPay) and bring a kettle in Hong Kong.

You should also bring slippers. There are no disposable items in Hong Kong hotels. ...

Macau-Don't gamble in casinos. If you are a national civil servant, it will also affect your future.
