What should I pay attention to when traveling and staying in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is a metropolis in Asia, a convention and exhibition center in the Asia-Pacific region and the most famous tourist city in the world, so the accommodation problem in this city is really not a big problem. So how can tourists arrange accommodation reasonably when they first arrive in Hong Kong and are strangers?

1. Choose a good area.

Hong Kong is divided into four parts: Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, New Territories and outlying islands, so tourists should choose their main activity areas. If the main activity is in Hong Kong Island, choose Hong Kong Island; if the main activity is in Kowloon, it is best to choose Kowloon. The New Territories and outlying islands are far from the central cities and can generally be ignored. It's just that accommodation in these areas is relatively cheap, or some hotels are close to emerging tourist attractions. If there are special needs, visitors can consider them. For example, there are some hotels in Tsing Yi Island, but they are far away from subway stations and urban industries. However, if tourists mainly want to do activities in Disney, Giant Buddha, Tung Chung on Lantau Island and Tsuen Wan in the New Territories, they can stay there. In short, choosing a good large area will help you save travel time and transportation expenses on the way.

2. Choose a good community

The functions of various areas in Hong Kong are very distinct, so travelers should choose the accommodation area that suits them best. For example, there are three shopping areas in Hong Kong. The first is Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon (Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok). The second is the Central District of Hong Kong Island (Central, Admiralty); The third is Wan Chai District (Wan Chai, Causeway Bay) on Hong Kong Island. Visitors should see what they need to do in this area and choose the nearest place.

3. Reasonable arrangement according to one's economic affordability

Generally speaking, hotels in the New Territories are the cheapest, but more transportation costs are inevitable. There will not be much difference in hotel prices between Kowloon and the central area of Hong Kong Island. During the tourist season or large-scale exhibitions, regular three-star hotels in these places need at least 500-800 yuan; Four-star hotels also need about 800- 1200; Prices of five-star hotels range from 1500-2500. Hong Kong luxury hotels are located in Central, Admiralty, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, East Tsim Sha Tsui and Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Recently, some budget hotels have mushroomed, with prices around 300 yuan, which should be regarded as regular hotels with relatively low prices. These hotels are located in Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok, and rooms are also booked through the websites of some travel agencies.

Besides, there are many small hotels in Jordan, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui. These small hotels can't be booked in advance, the quality of managers is also average, the sanitary conditions and room facilities are not good, and the rooms are mainly used as hourly rooms, so the accommodation environment is definitely more complicated. However, the biggest advantage of these hotels is that the price per night is very cheap, probably around 200 yuan. You can see their billboards at the subway entrance of this hotel. Tsim Sha Tsui's most famous chungking mansions (please participate in the Hong Kong film "Chongqing Forest" for details) is a concentration of low-cost hotels, where there are a large number of Indians and Pakistanis, and there are many restaurants with South Asian flavor in the building. To experience a different feeling, adventurous backpackers can try to find their own beds there.

4. Avoid holding large-scale exhibitions in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an international conference and exhibition center, with large-scale conferences and exhibitions going on all year round. Once there is an exhibition, hotel reservations in Hong Kong will be very tight, and prices will naturally rise. If you can adjust the travel time, you'd better avoid going to Hong Kong during large-scale exhibitions, which can save you a lot of money during your stay.

5. Book online in advance and compare prices.

If you have arranged the travel time in Hong Kong, try to book your room online in advance, and the earlier you book, the better. Booking near the departure date will naturally be expensive, and you may not even be able to book a room. In addition, it is best to check the prices of several websites when booking a room. The price of the same room type in the same hotel may vary greatly. Booking online at a famous hotel has the lowest risk. When booking, pay attention to whether the prices offered by those networks already include various taxes and fees.

In addition, you'd better check the official website of the hotel you want to book first. Some hotels in Hong Kong often offer more special discounts on their websites for guests who book rooms on their websites.

6. Free travel package is the most economical.

The easiest way to book a hotel in Hong Kong is to book a free package on the domestic travel network. It should be more economical to combine air tickets with hotels than to book hotels and air tickets separately.
