I want to travel to Hong Kong. Please introduce the characteristics of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong----International Business Center

Excellent geographical location (China’s southern gate)

Hong Kong is located at the southeastern tip of China and is also located in a rapidly developing In the heart of East Asia, the location is excellent. Hong Kong has a total area of ??approximately 1,100 square kilometers, consisting of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula separated by a sea, and the New Territories. Most of the suburbs are concentrated in the New Territories. Hong Kong's 235 outlying islands are also included in the New Territories. The most widely known is Lantau Island. Lantau Island is both the site of Hong Kong’s new airport and the location of Hong Kong Disneyland. It is very convenient to drive or take the railway to the center, which is quick and direct. Hong Kong companies have established extensive business contacts in Asia and around the world, and Hong Kong entrepreneurs are well-known overseas for their keen business acumen and "business acumen". Hong Kong has a deep-water port and a population of 6.8 million. It upholds the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people and has a deep and inseparable relationship with China. Hong Kong people are flexible, well-educated and entrepreneurial, which is why Hong Kong can explode into amazing productivity and creativity. Hong Kong has a special geographical location. When night falls in North America and morning dawns in European countries, Hong Kong is already illuminated by the sun. In other words, as long as a multinational company has offices in North America and Hong Kong, or Europe and Hong Kong, it can actually take advantage of the time difference between the two places to operate 24 hours a day to handle different projects. It is undoubtedly very convenient for companies engaged in the information technology and financial services industries.

Global Service Center

More than 80% of Hong Kong’s gross domestic product (GDP) comes from the service industry. The business scope of the service industry is all-encompassing, from sea and air transportation all over the world to contract production and software design, all of which reach international advanced levels. In view of the fierce competition, the charges for many services in Hong Kong are among the cheapest in the world. In recent years, the international long-distance telephone market has been opened up, and the charges for long-distance calls in Hong Kong have also dropped significantly. The charges for calls from Hong Kong to the United States are now even cheaper than the charges for calls between states in the United States.

Regional Headquarters of Multinational Companies

In 1999, there were 880 companies using Hong Kong as their Asian headquarters. The United States has the largest number of regional headquarters located in Hong Kong (205), followed by Japan (114) and the United Kingdom (82). In addition, approximately 1,650 countries have chosen Hong Kong as their regional offices. The main businesses of these regional headquarters include wholesale/retail, import and export trade, other business services (such as accounting, advertising, legal and other industries), finance, manufacturing, transportation and related services.

1 About applying for endorsement:

I am not very familiar with this, so I should bring all the requirements (it is best to call and ask for details) ), go to the visa center to fill out the form and get the number.

After the first 14 working days, you will have to wait 10 working days

The official rule is a foreign currency equivalent to usd3000 + 6000 rmb

3 Regarding card drop-off:

In addition to visa master and American Express, Hong Kong can now accept cards Even UnionPay cards can be accepted

4 About shopping in Hong Kong:

Personally, I think Causeway Bay is the best place for tourists. I believe there are more students here and the things they want to buy will not Too high-end places like Times Square Sogo and Mitsukoshi should be very suitable for you to visit. Of course, there are also some small streets and shops around these big shopping malls that you can go shopping when you have time

For those who want to buy some famous brands, Jin Zhong’s Lane Crawford in Pacific Place and Central should be what you want

When shopping, some merchants will put up 1:1 signs for promotions. Please pay attention and see which currency is the best.

5 About snacks

My favorite ones are the spicy fish balls and the siu mai zi, as well as the fried stuffed three treasures egg wafers

6 About desserts

I believe many people know Hui Lau Shan. I like the mangoes there so delicious

I recommend the Yangzhi Manna downstairs in Times Square

Lian Xin:

The voltage in Hong Kong is 220 volts, but their sockets are British style, so if you want to bring any charging equipment, you must bring a converter. Of course, you should also check this when buying electrical products in Hong Kong Is it the British square toe or our flat toe?

Mainland friends who travel to Hong Kong should also pay attention to whether the hotel is American or British when choosing a hotel. American-style hotels are They do not provide some personal items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, slippers, etc.

As for communication issues in Hong Kong, I have always purchased a Sunday card, and calling back to China seems to cost 3-4 yuan a minute. , it costs about the same to send a text message (it is recommended not to send it, because you often cannot receive it). When activating the card number, you will automatically deduct 2 yuan, but I heard that New World’s is the cheapest now

This This is the latest exchange rate. Another point is that it is not cost-effective to exchange Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The exchange rates in different regions are different, especially in the Touluo Bay area. The exchange rates are relatively high. 1.:1.077 is probably the lowest recently, while in China there is only 1:1.065

There are three places that I don’t like very much, Yau, Jian, and Mong. The things here are relatively cheap, but the quality is hard to say, and generally speaking, the security is not as good as that in Tongluo Bay. , besides, there are many stores in Tongluowan, which is enough for general shopping

Admiralty Taikoo and Central are relatively high-end, similar to our Hang Lung. I have to see if they are good to buy, but I can’t make a decision

p>

Camera equipment is very cheap in some small stores, but most of them are parallel imports. It is recommended to go to Bainaohui and Fengze to buy them for peace of mind

Food is expensive, but you still have to buy the distinctive ones. Try some noodles, such as wonton noodles

Also

1. You should call people before meeting Make an appointment and prepare some fruit cakes as gifts when visiting someone’s home. Don’t go empty-handed.

2. For ordinary men, call them "Mr." and for women, call them "Ms.". For older men, you can call them "Uncle" or "Uncle", and for older women, you can call them "Ah." "Aunt"; male waiters and salespersons can be called "guy", while female waiters can still be called "Miss".

Public security penalties: Hong Kong's penalties for violating social morality are quite severe. Littering and spitting in public places usually result in a fine of HK$1,500.

Other notes: As Hong Kong tourism opens up to individuals, more and more people are traveling to Hong Kong, and many people have indeed encountered some problems. Therefore, everyone is reminded to pay attention to the following aspects: < /p>

(1) Don’t carry large amounts of cash out;

(2) Keep your travel documents carefully;

(3) Don’t act carelessly in crowded places Place your belongings;

(4) When crossing the road, be careful of someone trying to get close to steal;

(5) Before taking away your belongings, you should first observe whether there are any suspicious persons around you.

Hong Kong - Don’t buy things from places where tour guides take you. They are all unguaranteed goods. They may not be bad, but other places are very poor. For example, digital cameras only have 32M of memory, and things in Mong Kok are cheaper. , the transportation is recommended to use the subway

Each hotel has a map, you have to understand it yourself, I don’t know which hotel you want to stay in, Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged or not, you can swipe a card (UnionPay) in Hong Kong to bring one You should also bring a kettle

You should also bring slippers. There are no disposable items in Hong Kong hotels...

Macau - Don’t gamble in casinos. You will lose as much as you have. If you are a national civil servant, it will be bad for your future. It also has an impact.
