After three trips to Hong Kong, I only have one piece of advice...

👋 Hey everyone, Hong Kong is truly a fascinating city! Having visited three times, I've compiled this super practical guide—suggest saving and reading it slowly! 🎫【Document Preparation】 Make sure to apply for your Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit in advance, and don't forget the visa! Many places now offer online appointment services—super convenient. 💰【Currency Exchange】 No need to exchange too much cash—mobile payments are widely accepted. Still, it's good to have HKD 300-500 on hand for trams and street snacks where cash is sometimes easier. 🚇【Transportation】 Highly recommend getting an Octopus Card—it works on MTR, buses, trams, and even at convenience stores. Deposits and balances are refundable when returning the card. Also, don’t miss the Star Ferry—just HKD 2 for stunning Victoria Harbour views. 🏨【Accommodation Options】 - Tsim Sha Tsui: Great for shopping and food, close to Victoria Harbour with amazing night views. - Causeway Bay: Shopper’s paradise with many hotel choices and convenient transport. - Yau Ma Tei/Mong Kok: Experience authentic Hong Kong vibes with relatively good value. 🌟【Must-Visit Spots】 1. Victoria Peak: Take the Peak Tram for panoramic city views. Sunset visits let you enjoy both day and night scenes. 2. Victoria Harbour: One of the world’s top night views. Don’t miss the "Symphony of Lights" show at 8 PM or a night cruise on the Star Ferry. 3. Hong Kong Disneyland: A fairy-tale world for all ages. Download the app for showtimes and wait times—the evening fireworks are a must-see! 4. Central: Hong Kong’s financial hub with iconic skyscrapers like the Bank of China Tower. Lan Kwai Fong offers vibrant nightlife. 5. Mong Kok: Hunt for bargains at Ladies' Market and Sneaker Street, and try street snacks like curry fish balls and egg waffles. 🍱【Food Picks】 1. Hua Sheng Bing Shi: Famous for pineapple buns and tomato soup macaroni—a celeb favorite. 2. Australia Dairy Company: Must-tries: scrambled egg toast and steamed milk pudding. 3. Kau Kee Beef Brisket: Tender brisket in rich broth—a beef lover’s dream. 4. Mister Softee: Grab a creamy soft-serve if you spot this iconic ice cream truck. 🛍️【Shopping Tips】 1. Causeway Bay: SOGO and Times Square offer luxury and trendy brands. 2. Tsim Sha Tsui: Massive Harbour City and DFS Duty-Free for one-stop shopping. 3. Citygate Outlets: Great discounts during sales—perfect for branded bargains. 📌【Pro Tips】 1. Indoor AC is strong—pack a light jacket. 2. Taxis may charge extra for large luggage in the trunk. 3. On trams, board at the rear and pay when exiting the front.
