Hong Kong Travel and Accommodation Guide

Generally speaking, accommodation in Hong Kong is divided into hotels and guesthouses; the two concepts are completely different; hotels that basically occupy independent properties are called "hotels"; those called "guesthouses" It is usually in a certain unit or several units in a building; a building may also have many hotels. Hotel prices in Hong Kong are generally relatively expensive. Standard room prices on weekdays are basically more than 500 yuan/day. Those with less than 800 yuan/day can basically be regarded as budget hotels in Hong Kong. Like budget hotels in the mainland, they are also very popular. , it is normal for it to be full. Hotel prices are relatively cheap, with standard rooms ranging from 250 to 400. Since the opening up of independent travel in mainland China, many large and small low-cost hotels for independent travel have sprung up in Hong Kong. Most of these hotels are licensed (don't stay in unlicensed hotels), and safety and hygiene are basically guaranteed. If you are traveling purely on your own, staying in these cheap hotels is indeed a good choice. The first thing to solve is the problem of where to live. Hong Kong is neither big nor small. If you are traveling independently, you must live near the subway. Because the Hong Kong subway coverage network is very developed, it is very convenient to transfer to various places. The speed is much faster than the mainland subway, and the departure density is almost the same. The subway ends close to 1 am; so living near the subway can give you It will save you a lot of time during your stressful trip to Hong Kong; and the subway is also close to shopping malls and attractions. On the other hand, if you live far away from the subway and are not familiar with the bus routes, taking a TAXI will greatly increase your transportation costs, which is very inconvenient. It’s also very particular about which subway stations you live near. There are a total of 5 subway lines in Hong Kong, with a total of about 50 stations. However, the most valuable ones for mainland independent travelers are 5 of them, which are Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei on Nathan Road on the Kowloon side. , Jordan, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island. There are many shopping spots in Hong Kong gathered near these stations, as well as many cheap hotels. Other sites are either too remote for independent travelers, and it costs a lot of money to get there from the airport or Luohu Port; it also costs a lot of transportation to and from major shopping areas; or they are surrounded by high-star hotels. , not suitable for independent travelers, such as Wan Chai, Admiralty, Central, etc. Many backpackers once recommended staying at the International Youth Hostel in Hong Kong. It is clean, cheap and absolutely safe. However, if you go shopping in Hong Kong and choose to stay in a youth hostel in Hong Kong, it would be a big mistake. The location of several youth hostels in Hong Kong They are all extremely remote. They are located in Ngong Ping on Lantau Island, Mount Davis in Western District, Tai Mei Tuk in Tai Po, Pak Sha O in Sai Kung, and Tai Mo Shan in Tsuen Wan. . . These are places that many mainlanders have never heard of, and are very inconvenient. Moreover, it seems that only card-holding members are accepted, and non-members are not accepted. The following is a brief introduction to the five subway stations: Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay. I also recommend some good hotels near the subway stations to everyone. MTR Mong Kok Station, recommended reasons: 1. Convenient transportation. It is the intersection of two subway lines, and there is no need to leave the station to transfer; the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway also has a station in Mong Kok, and the train can reach it directly after passing through Luohu Port. Airport bus A21 also passes through this area. 2. An area built earlier in Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s first prosperous neighborhood for civilians. Many street fight scenes in Hong Kong movies were shot here. There are a lot of signboards, vehicles, shops, and people flowing there, giving it a chaotic urban atmosphere. 3. The main commercial streets include Ladies Market, Fa Yuen Street, Tung Choi Street, Flower Shop Street, Computer Street, and Sai Yeung Choi South Street (Pedestrian Street). There are few famous brand stores or high-end goods here, and what you can see is an ordinary Hong Kong. As long as you are energetic, you will definitely find something interesting here. This is the charm of Mong Kok. There are many affordable hotels around Mong Kok. The following ones are worth recommending: Hong Kong Harborside Hotel is located in the center of Mong Kok's business district, close to the large shopping mall Langham Place and famous shopping spots such as Sneaker Street, Electronics Street and Women's Street.
