Traveling from Changsha to Hong Kong

Hello, let me try to answer you.

First, live. I stayed in Hong Kong for a short time and found that many tourists from the mainland would stay in North Point, Hong Kong. There is a hotel there called Harbor Garden, which is quite popular. The hotel also has its own bus, but I'm not sure about the price.

For food, there are a lot of delicious food here in Hong Kong. The ones I personally recommend include egg waffles, Hainanese chicken and shrimp dumplings. Egg waffles are a snack, you can see them in Causeway Bay, Mong Kok; for Hainanese chicken, I recommend you go to an authentic Malaysian or Vietnamese restaurant (I forgot which one), some tea restaurants are not delicious; for shrimp dumplings, I recommend you go to Prince Edward A snack on Stadium Road is a Michelin-recommended restaurant. PS The book on restaurants recommended by Michelin is very useful, you can check it out.

Okay, when traveling to Hong Kong, I personally think you can’t miss the Peak and Ocean Park. The cable car in Ocean Park is very good. You can enjoy the beautiful night view by riding down the mountain at night. There is also a cable car at the top of the mountain, or a small train. The hillside is at a 45-degree angle, which can give people a different perspective. You can see the panoramic view of Hong Kong from the top of the mountain. In addition, if you like beaches, you can go to Cheung Chau or Lamma Island. These two places require a boat ride from Central. There is also a beach in Stanley, but it is relatively small. Many people play sailing there. I personally think that the specialty of Stanley is that the market is very unique, and they are full of small things, handicrafts and so on. Also, when you come to Hong Kong, you can stop by Macau to visit. It has a very different style. The round-trip ferry ticket only costs 300 Hong Kong dollars. Macau is a place where you can visit all in one day.

For shopping, I recommend Mong Kok and Causeway Bay. You can buy various internationally renowned brands, as well as many small shops worth checking out. Tsim Sha Tsui is a popular shopping destination for mainlanders, especially Harbor City, but I would personally recommend Mong Kok. Langham Place in Mong Kok is more upscale and has many well-known cosmetics counters, while the markets at Fa Yuen Street and Ladies Market are a bit more... Like Xiushui in Beijing, there are many imitation leather bags and other gadgets. If you want to buy something there, you can bargain in English and you can get a very low price.

As for currency, you can pay with UnionPay in shopping malls and supermarkets. The ATMs here can take out pens, so you don’t need to exchange a lot of Hong Kong dollars. Just bring a bank card, Bank of China, ICBC, etc. CCB can do it. Agricultural Bank of China does not have it here.

The discount season is actually mainly concentrated in the second half of the year and the beginning of the year, such as Christmas and Spring Festival winter clearance. Now the discounts for the spring and summer models in March are already very small. When it comes to meeting celebrities, some of my friends met Tony Leung Chiu-wai in Sheung Wan, and some friends met Luo Taiyou at the airport. It depends on your character, but it is still possible if you go to the places where celebrities live. Sheung Wan and Yuen Long are more recommended.

PS, if you come here and plan to spend a few more days, you can buy an Octopus at the airport, which will be much more convenient. It is also recommended that you fly from Changsha to Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, then take the Luobao Line to Luohu Port, cross the border and then take the Hong Kong subway. You can save a lot of money and not waste too much time.

That’s about it. If you have any questions, you can add them. I hope you have a good time in Hong Kong. I really like this city.
