Matters needing attention in taking subway in Hong Kong. What violations will be fined?

1, you must hold your own certificate to withdraw money or you may be accused of identity fraud.

In addition to ATM, mainland tourists must bring their ID cards or Hong Kong and Macao passes when they go to the bank to withdraw money. To withdraw money with someone else's card, you need to hold someone else's certificate-try to withdraw money with my bank card instead of signing it.

20 13 in may, a man from Shenzhen arrived in hong kong and was never heard from again. His family and unit are very anxious. Later, after contact, it was found that the man was arrested by the Hong Kong police. The man used his boss's bank card to withdraw money from a bank in Hong Kong, and then signed it instead of his boss, who was not present.

This behavior violated the laws of Hong Kong, and was found by the Hong Kong police to be suspected of forging false documents, and was finally sentenced to 80 days' imprisonment by the court. For sightseeing all the way, mainland tourists are advised to withdraw money in Hong Kong and try to use ATM machines. If you want to withdraw money from the bank, please bring your Hong Kong and Macao Pass or ID card.

Please don't swear in public.

It is illegal to swear in public places in Hong Kong. If convicted, the maximum penalty is a fine of HK$ 2,000 and imprisonment of 65,438+00 days. These public places cover some places frequented by mainland tourists-Hong Kong Ocean Park, Disneyland, subway, airport and so on.

Swimming pools, beaches, libraries, museums and other places in Hong Kong are also public places. Don't make any noise or swear. Travel advice: Hong Kong is different from the mainland. No one will take care of you where you scold the street in the mainland. At most, others will think that you are of low quality or have mental problems.

But swearing loudly in public places in Hong Kong, or disturbing people with obscene words, are against the laws and regulations of Hong Kong. When you travel to Hong Kong, you must pay attention to civilization and fashion ~ See the picture below for details:

Don't take first class on the subway, but take 500 yuan.

Young friends who go to Hongkong for free travel should pay special attention to this, because many tourists have to pay 500 yuan money because of this clause. When you take a first-class MTR seat in Hong Kong, you can buy a first-class one-way ticket directly at the ticket office. Or use the Octopus card to enter the gate. After entering the gate, you need to confirm at the "Octopus first-class approving machine" in the first-class position of the platform before you can get on the bus.

There will be staff checking tickets when flying first class. If it is found that a passenger has not bought a first-class ticket, or the Octopus card has not confirmed that he wants to fly first class, a surcharge from 500 yuan will be added. Friends who travel freely must pay attention to it ~ If the violation is serious, they may be fined HK$ 5,000.

Don't eat loudly in the subway.

This is the most easily offended by mainland tourists ... because in the subway of mainland cities, no one will talk to you at all, just eat and talk casually. In recent years, news and videos of conflicts between mainland tourists on the subway in Hong Kong have emerged one after another.

At present, according to the MTR Bylaws, no one is allowed to eat or drink in the MTR toll area, that is, all areas after entering the gate, including platforms and carriages, or he will be fined $2,000. Respect others and respect yourself. Please don't eat, drink and make noise in the subway.

5. Those who raise wild animals privately may be fined 10000 yuan.

Mainland tourists are used to feeding wild animals when traveling in mountainous areas. For example, in Qianling Mountain in Guiyang, there are many monkeys, and people are feeding them a bunch of delicious food. In some parks, fish food is often sold to tourists to feed the goldfish in the pond.

According to Hong Kong's Wildlife Protection Ordinance, tourists are prohibited from feeding wild monkeys and other wild animals in some designated places such as country parks. If someone breaks the law, he can be fined up to 1 10,000 yuan.

6. Don't spit and litter, or you will be fined 1500 yuan.

Everyone should know this. I have also heard that mainland tourists are fined for spitting or littering in Hong Kong. Friends traveling with a group must remember to listen to the tour guide's explanation. When shopping and traveling in the city, don't spit or litter. According to the Fixed Penalty (Cleanliness of Public Places) Ordinance, littering refers to the following four acts:

(1) Littering-littering on the street at will, or throwing garbage into bamboo baskets or uncovered carton containers on the street;

(2) Spitting-refers to spitting in roadside ditches or directly into garbage bins;

(3) Shit-the dog owner failed to clean up the shit in time;

(4) Posting posters and showing off in the streets.

All the above four acts may be fined 1500 yuan. The scenic tour all the way reminds all tourists to throw their garbage into the nearby trash can, whether they are traveling freely or in a group tour; If you really want to throw up, please throw it on the paper towel now and throw it in the trash can.

7. smoke! Smoking in public places will be fined 5000 yuan.

In the no-smoking area stipulated in Hong Kong, no one is allowed to smoke at will, or he will be fined 5000 yuan. In Hong Kong, smoking is prohibited in many workplaces, public places and entertainment places, and even smoking electronic cigarettes is illegal. At present, smoking places are: private houses, rural areas and a few open-air places.

Many smokers in the mainland are used to smoking while walking, which is not allowed in Hong Kong. If smokers really want to smoke, they must find a special place to smoke in the street and stand in the same place to smoke a cigarette to relieve their addiction. This situation is also easier to identify. Generally, if there is a metal ashtray above the trash can in the street, they can usually smoke.

8. Each person can only bring 19 cigarettes into the country.

This is generally clear to everyone. Smokers should pay attention that tourists aged 18 can only bring 19 cigarettes and 1 cigar when entering the country. If you violate the relevant regulations, if convicted, you are likely to be fined up to HK$ 6,543,800 and imprisoned for two years.

9. Never cheat the staff of the Immigration Department.

This is something that tourists seldom violate. Mainly mainland gamblers, illegal workers, young ladies, or people who want to go to Hong Kong to have children, and so on. It is also illegal to make false statements to immigration staff. If convicted of a crime, the maximum penalty is 14 years and a fine of15,000 Hong Kong dollars.

10, the two ends of a Hong Kong subway line (such as A-B and B-A) are mostly upper and lower floors. Unlike Shanghai, which is the opposite platform, most platforms of the Hong Kong subway are interchange stations, which is very convenient. Speediness: the frequency of Hong Kong Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Kwun Tong Line and Tseung Kwan O Line generally takes only 2-3 minutes, Tung Chung Line takes about 4-5 minutes, and Airport Express Line 12 minutes.

1 1 Except for running hours, most subways provide 19 hours of train service every day, from around 6: 00 am to the next morning 1, and the airport express service hours are from 5:50 am to 1: 15. It is best to consult the service personnel in the subway when the specific time is up. I remember that the last bus of Disney Line was a little late in the morning, but it was not 1 o'clock.

12, eating and drinking are prohibited in subway cars. I believe that most of the students who have done their homework have memorized it. Also, the electronic sign line will show the next stop and the direction of getting on and off. Look carefully and you will understand. You'd better not talk loudly on the subway. Hong Kong people seldom speak loudly in public, and even if the subway is crowded, they won't hear loud voices.

13, I remember a classmate asked tourists to take the subway card unlimited times a day, so I just said a few words. The card is applicable 24 hours a day within the stipulated validity period. /kloc-pulls in at 0/8: 00, and the card expires at 0/8: 00 the next day. Students who use it should plan well, when to use it and how to use it is the most cost-effective.

Extended data:

Subway is the most important means of transportation for Hong Kong residents and tourists. It is 82.2 kilometers long and has 44 stations, carrying 2.2 million passengers every day. MTR lines include Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Hong Kong Island Line, Tung Chung Line and Airport Express Line, connecting Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Tsuen Wan, Tseung Kwan O and Tung Chung. You can also change trains at Kowloon Tong Station, and the airport express line is set between the airport and the urban area.

Walking starts at about 6 o'clock every morning until midnight, and there is a bus every few minutes. The fare starts from 4 yuan (two stops). At the same time, there is a light rail (LRT) running between the New Territories, Tuen Mun and Yuen Long, and buses are also connected to more remote places.

Tips for taking the subway:

1. The most convenient way to take the subway is to buy an Octopus, and the whole journey is smooth. Moreover, the role of Octopus in Hong Kong is not just tickets. Many convenience stores can be used as "cards" to "swipe their cards", and convenience stores can also be recharged. However, the Hong Kong subway is more expensive, and it is better to reserve "ammunition" for a few stops for more than ten dollars.

2. When taking the elevator, please stand on the right, and the "overtaking lane" is on the left, which is convenient for people who are in a hurry to pass quickly.

Smoking is prohibited in public transport, markets and some public places in Hong Kong, so don't smoke in the subway.
