How to save money on a self-guided tour in Hong Kong

To save money, of course go on a self-guided tour.

Because if you go with a group, the main thing is shopping, plus tips for tour guides and drivers, etc., the cost is very high. Don't think about "I won't buy it at all", it's impossible. As mentioned above, the tour guide will scold you with unpleasant words. If you don't buy it collectively, it will cause you to go around in circles and lose your way, thus wasting time. In the end, the money has to be spent.

If it is your first time to go and you plan to save money and not join a group tour, you must do your homework and go with a clear idea.

In addition, it is recommended to live in Shenzhen and then take a bus to Hong Kong, which will be cheaper.

If you start from Guangzhou, go to Shenzhen first, cross Luhu Lake, and take a small train into Hong Kong.

Generally, shopping in Hong Kong is cheaper during the Christmas period because everyone is on sale. For electrical appliances, go to a long-established and well-known store like Fortress. They won’t be expensive and will offer discounts, and the quality is guaranteed.

For general accommodation, just look for a three-star hotel, which is affordable and hygienic and clean.

If you want to save money, you can fly to Shenzhen and pay attention to the discounts of various airlines, such as Shenzhen Airlines’ ferry tickets from Shenzhen to Hong Kong or Macau.

Disney costs about 300 Hong Kong dollars, and Madame Tussauds costs about 120 Hong Kong dollars. This place is on Victoria Peak and you need to take the cable car up. I forgot the exact price of the cable car, it should be about 20 yuan. The prices I mentioned won't vary much, about ten yuan, so don't worry, they won't be expensive. Ocean Park costs 180 yuan. In addition to the beautiful marine animals and their performances, there are also many amusement rides, all of which are free of charge. You can enjoy unlimited rides during the business hours of the day. Very exciting! ! There are a lot of people and you have to queue up, but it's worth the wait.

Is the self-guided tour you are talking about the kind where you book air tickets and hotels through a travel agency or website? That would be very convenient. For 2,200 yuan, you can get accommodation and stay in a four-star or five-star hotel. Another kind of self-guided tour is to buy your own air tickets and find hotels by yourself. This method can only save some money on accommodation. Then stay in a cheap family hotel, which costs about 100 Hong Kong dollars per night. There will definitely not be hotel-style services, just a place to sleep.
