Introduction of self-help tour in Hong Kong recommended by netizens

Hello, everyone, I just got back from a self-help tour in Hong Kong. I feel much better than going to Hong Kong with a group before. Now I will talk about some experiences, hoping to give you some help.

1. It takes 400-500 yuan to apply for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass in the local travel agency, including the Pass and the train ticket to Hong Kong led by the travel agency. You can consult the travel agency for specific matters, and the processing time is about 4 or 5 working days.

Second, book a hotel. I compared CTS, E Dragon and Target Tour, and of course I chose CTS! Because it has the most hotels in Hong Kong and the service is good. However, because there is no detailed information about the hotel on the website (I hope CTS can improve it), I went to several local hotel websites in Hong Kong to understand the basic situation of the hotel. After careful comparison and search, I made a reservation on CTS. When booking a hotel, it is recommended to choose a hotel around the subway station, so the traffic will be very convenient. I made a reservation at Hyatt Regency in Tsim Sha Tsui subway station. This is a five-star hotel with large rooms and beds and good service. The room rate plus service charge and government tax is 788 Hong Kong dollars. I recommend it!

Third, after the documents and the hotel are arranged, book a plane ticket to Shenzhen (it is now discounted). Since the self-help tour must pass through the port, it is not allowed to fly directly to Hong Kong (unless you join a group, it is not a self-help tour). Arriving in Shenzhen one day in advance, I suggest staying in a hotel around Luohu Port, because it is more convenient to meet in the exit hall of the port. After the assembly, the travel agency will take you through the customs and issue you a train ticket. After going through customs, get on the train.

The train to Hong Kong is Kowloon-Canton Railway, and the terminal station is Hongkan Station, but I suggest you don't get off at the terminal station, because there is no subway there. You'd better get off at the middle Kowloon Tong Station, so that you can take the subway extending in all directions to reach all the main sections of Hong Kong. Of course, the first thing to do when you get off is to buy a map.

The main means of transportation in Hong Kong are subway and bus. The subway is the best, with six lines, and the transfer is very convenient. The buses in Hong Kong don't stop, so it's easy to ride. Pay attention. Don't take a taxi, expensive! (except, of course, when being chased).

Sixth, shopping. I saw many netizens' experiences before I went, and now I will talk about it in combination with my own feelings. I suggest you go to the big shopping malls in the main shopping areas of Hong Kong, and visiting those small streets is actually not as good as selling stalls in the mainland. In addition, I believe that the netizens who read travel notes online are not rich, so I won't say anything about Peninsula Hotel and Louis Vuitton monopoly. I recommend several shopping centers with good quality and low price (relatively low price) and convenient transportation (all of which can be reached directly by subway):

(1) clothes, shoes, hats and wallets. Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui (500 meters west of Haiphong Road after coming out of Tsim Sha Tsui subway station), Festival Pedestrian Street in Kowloon Tong, Times Square in Causeway Bay (some famous brands are still expensive, just look around) and nearby Lee Stage Square (mainly esprit projects, the discount is very cheap, when I go, the first item is 50% off, and the second item is 1 off), Landmark Square and Pacific Place are all very expensive, but

(2) watches. There are also those shopping malls above, and there are many specialty stores on the street.

(3) gold ornaments. Zhou Shengsheng and Chow Tai Fook are both famous, but their styles are out of date. I recommend justgold to everyone. Very cute and kawaii, suitable for young people.

(4) Comics and CDs. The Xinhe Center in Mong Kok (600 meters south of Nathan Road after the Mong Kok subway station comes out) has several floors. Some of them are like computer cities in the Mainland, except that they don't sell computers, but only sell cartoons and discs (including movies, music and adults) from Europe, America, Japan and Hong Kong. The price is more expensive than that in the mainland, but the variety and renewal are much better than that in the mainland.

For electrical appliances and other gadgets, I feel more comfortable buying them in the mainland. If you have time, you can visit some main streets, such as Nathan Road. There are many specialty stores of various brands. In addition, there is a magazine stall next to the nightclub in East China City, Tsim Sha Tsui, which contains all the adult magazine I know, and students can buy it.

Seven, two and a half to three days of sightseeing is almost enough, and now it's time for sightseeing, which takes almost two days. The scenery in Hong Kong at night is better than that in the mainland (I don't think it's as good as it was last time, maybe it's because of the bad economy and the lights are turned off in some buildings), and there are no scenic spots that can compare with those famous scenic spots in the mainland. But I'm here, so I have to see it (mainly because I don't have enough money and my feet hurt).

(1) Ocean Park is similar to the amusement park aquarium in mainland China. You can watch the dolphin show. There is a through train next to admiralty station.

(2) Taiping Mountain, look at the night scene. Cable car direct.

(3) Everyone knows the Convention and Exhibition Center in Wan Chai.

(4) There is a Murray Building in Stanley. It is recommended to take a bus directly after coming out of Ocean Park, and you can see Repulse Bay in the middle (far worse than Yalong Bay in Sanya).

(5) The seaside park in Tsim Sha Tsui can see the night view of Hong Kong Island.

(6) Lantau Giant Buddha, take the MTR Tung Chung Line to the terminal and transfer to the bus for direct access.

Eight, eat. In addition to acquaintances like McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut, I suggest you enjoy Chinese fast food (everywhere). A person can order a pot dish for more than 20 yuan, and you can eat shark's fin for 8 yuan! Warmly recommend western snacks in Hong Kong, especially cheesecake, which is delicious.

Generally speaking, Hong Kong is still good, with friendly and enthusiastic citizens, clean and tidy streets and orderly everywhere. As long as you can speak Mandarin, you can communicate with the service staff. It's just that their Mandarin is poor, so you should keep your ears open. In addition, in terms of currency, it is recommended to exchange Hong Kong dollars in the Mainland, because Hong Kong dollars have a large denomination and are easy to carry. Of course, it is best to have an international credit card.

I've been talking for a long time, hoping to help everyone and wish everyone a happy stay in Hong Kong!
