What should I bring when traveling to Hong Kong? What should I prepare before going to Hong Kong?

1. Certificate: Chinese mainland tourists bring their passes and ID cards to and from Hong Kong and Macao, and foreign tourists bring their passports (please bring your old passports for new passports). /kloc-tourists under 0/6 who don't have ID cards need to bring their household registration books to and from the mainland.

2, dress in spring and autumn, long and short sleeves can be used, and long-sleeved coats are needed at night; Wear short sleeves in summer, the indoor air conditioner is too full, please prepare a thin coat; In winter, the temperature is slightly lower. Generally, sweaters are oversize clothes or coats.

3. Personal daily necessities: razors, skin care products, cosmetics, sun hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, umbrellas, combs, small mirrors, watches, pens and notebooks. Please bring it when you need it. Hong Kong hotels generally do not provide towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. It is more expensive to bring your own local mineral water. Visitors who can bring their own kettle for shopping can bring an extra suitcase or bag and prepare reusable shopping bags.

4. Cash and bank cards The legal tender in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars. Although many merchants accept RMB, almost all of them use it as 1: 1, which is not cost-effective. Please exchange Hong Kong dollars in mainland banks in advance. Please call the customer service telephone of major banks to inquire about the exchange method. Please change the foreign currency equivalent to RMB 20,000 or USD 5,000 per person into foreign currency as soon as possible according to the regulations of China Customs. Therefore, if you can exchange enough money, you can mainly use credit cards to shop in Hong Kong, and accept UnionPay, MasterCard and VISA. It is recommended to use UnionPay card, and there is no handling fee. The exchange rate is also better among all kinds of cards. When you swipe your card, you must explain to the cashier the choice of UnionPay channel. If you only have one credit card, you can save enough cash to prevent exceeding the limit. Please call the customer service phone of the issuing bank to inquire about how to swipe your card, withdraw money and charge in Hong Kong.

5. Electronic and electric cameras, video cameras, batteries, chargers and memory cards. Please ask the operator how to dial your mobile phone number in Hong Kong and the cost. Usually, the charge is very high. It is generally recommended to buy a local mobile phone card in Hong Kong (that is, a SIM card, which can be used directly in a mobile phone). The charge is much cheaper. Unlike the sockets in the Mainland, Hong Kong is an English three hole socket. The plugs of mainland electrical appliances cannot be used directly, and a plug converter is needed. Hotel receptions are generally available, but the number is limited. I suggest you buy British standard plug converters in large supermarkets and online shopping malls in the mainland in advance.

6. Please take your regular medicines with you, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, painkiller, band-aid, wind oil, carsickness medicine, etc. If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Be sure to bring enough spare medicines and carry them with you according to your own situation.
