I am going to travel to Hong Kong and Macau, what should I pay attention to?

I just came back from Hong Kong---Macau---Zhuhai---Guangzhou yesterday. I would like to sum up my experience and remind friends who have not been there yet how to avoid being fooled.

On the first day in Hong Kong, I basically went to tourist attractions. Apart from bringing my own water, there is nothing to remind me (a bottle of water in the attraction costs 14 Hong Kong dollars)

No. The next morning we should go to Wong Tai Sin Temple, and then we will go to the jewelry store, watch store and digital electronics store led by the tour guide. I only have one piece of advice, no matter how much you like it, don’t buy it, it’s fake stuff, it’s junk that you’ve never heard of and it’s super expensive.

What is highly recommended in jewelry stores is the pendant called Shi Lai Lun, which ranges from 380 to one or two thousand. I have a friend who is quite knowledgeable about jewelry. He said that good pure jewelry will never be discounted. A local escort in Hong Kong will tell you that you can get a 65% discount through him, and he only earns a 2% commission.

Except for Rolex and Omega, the rest of the famous watch stores are junk goods that flaunt famous brands. Don’t think they are big name brands you have never heard of. They are indeed just products from small workshops. Keep your pockets closed and save it to go to a regular store.

Don’t even look at the things in the electronic goods store. He will explain and compare them to you. Don’t be tempted. Stick to one principle. To buy these things, go to regular stores, such as DFS, Feng. Ze.

To sum up these three stores, I suspect they are opened by a Hong Kong travel company. Although each store has to go around for dozens of minutes, I found that these three stores are all on the same street, and it is not difficult to walk. It takes more than 5 minutes, and the tour bus will circle half of Hong Kong and then return to that street. The work clothes of the employees in the store and the work clothes of the tour guide are also exactly the same, which is very questionable.

If you don’t want to be cheated, don’t shop in these three stores. Remember: buy less and you’ll suffer less; don’t buy and you won’t suffer.

Of course, the tour guide will be very angry and will yell at someone with low quality. Ignore him and turn to look out the window to look at the scenery.

At the end of the second day, the tour guide will give each person a souvenir, making you think it is free, but I can tell you responsibly, it is impossible! Generally speaking, they will give you a row of keychains, which are said to be gold-plated. After the explanation, they will cost you 100 yuan. You don't have to do it at all. He will give you many reasons to persuade you, such as we have been working very hard for two days, we got up early and stayed late, and the driver also worked hard. Of course, if you think it's commemorative, you can buy it, but at 100 yuan, it's not worth it. 10 yuan or so is about the same.

In a word, the money is in your own pocket, and he will never dare to grab it from your pocket, so cover your own pocket and don’t be soft-hearted. We are not obligated to spend money to make our tour guides happy. Their work is their responsibility and obligation. This is not a reason for you to buy something to reward them.

It will be easier to have free activities on the third day. When shopping in a large store, remember to ask for an invoice and check the production date of the product to avoid package tampering. When changing money, beware of counterfeit money.
