You should go to the bank to exchange Hong Kong dollars first, but for some friends who often go abroad or use a lot of foreign currency (because each person has a foreign exchange limit every year, it is about 6W dollars), it is recommended to exchange it after going to Hong Kong. The exchange rate in Hong Kong is not much different from that in the mainland, so it is best not to exchange it at the customs, because there is a handling fee for the customs.

Tip:

1) The common currency in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars, and RMB can only be used in a few shops such as jewelry stores.

2) Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged in banks, hotels or replacement shops.

4. About transportation

Friends who don't have a credit card should prepare one more day's cash as a deposit. When you check out, the cash will be returned directly. Credit cards will be automatically unfrozen within 15-2 days.
