Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Kowloon...Hong Kong, the fashion capital and charming city, is one of the most densely populated areas, so many people are walking here in a hurry, with no time to stop and stay, and no time to calm down to discover its beauty. I live in Guangzhou, I have actually visited Hong Kong a lot, and many times I have passed by in a hurry, just to buy, buy, or go to Hong Kong Airport to go abroad. This time, taking advantage of the invitation of the little sisters, I want to go shopping seriously Take a stroll~
We, the Sand Sculpture Sister Flower Group, went to Sanya and Guilin violently, and the friendship continued to grow stronger. We helped each other along the way, lived in a seven-star hotel and ate luxurious meals together, and ate instant noodles together in an express hotel. Friends who can get along well during the trip will be real good friends, hehe~
The following is a serious member introduction of Sand Sculpture Sisters:
Yoyo: Big brother, she is responsible and courageous, she is the first one we are afraid of, she steps forward, takes us pretending and takes us flying
Juanjuan: Little brother, the confused little brother often forgets things, and sometimes he is so cute and cute that he can make us laugh all day long
tt (me): Second senior brother, I was praised by the elder brother for my clear mind and strong logic. As a guide and disciplinary committee member, I urged everyone to set off on time and make a good time plan. Follow me, and you will not be afraid of anything! More importantly, I am a treasure girl, I have all the things they want to forget, hahaha~
In order to match the retro style of Hong Kong, this time it is a polka-dot combination ~ 360-degree sea, land and air tour of Hong Kong, let's go!
Overlooking Hong Kong from God's perspective
When I really planned my trip to Hong Kong, I found that there are so many places to visit in Hong Kong! Whether it’s Disneyland, Ocean Park, Avenue of Stars, Victoria Harbor, Victoria Peak and other traditional attractions, or various newly promoted Internet celebrity building check-in and photo spots, or hiking on the MacLehose Trail, various outlying island tours, if you want to play all of them It really takes a lot of time.
It is rare to spare two days to accompany them, of course we must start from the most interesting place! Haha~ The cable car of Ngong Ping 360 was planted with grass before, this time I decided to take them to pull the grass together~
Starting from Yau Ma Tei, it takes about an hour to get to Tung Chung Station by subway. After leaving the station, the eyes are full of greenery and the breeze is blowing on the face, and the temperature is very comfortable. It's about a few hundred meters on foot. The weather is gloomy and gloomy, and there is no chance of beautiful scenery in the clear sky, but from another perspective, if it rains heavily, you may not see any beautiful scenery. Cloudy days also have another kind of beauty!
Lantau Island is on the west side of Hong Kong. It is the largest island in Hong Kong. It is located in the western waters of Hong Kong. Today we are going to visit Lantau Island in all directions! The all-round experience of sea, land and air on Lantau Island starts with the Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car, which I have been looking forward to for a long time, hehe~
After changing all the tickets and wearing a special bracelet for taking the cable car, I feel like a beautiful girl transforming, hahaha~ full of ritual feeling~
There are two options for the cable car, the normal version and the crystal version. The crystal version is a 360-degree viewing car, and even the bottom is glass. Visually, a carriage can accommodate about 6-8 people. The price difference between the two carriages is not particularly large. We rushed to the crystal carriage and wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery in a more comprehensive way. Friends who are not afraid of heights prefer the crystal carriage, even if they are afraid of heights , Be brave for the sake of beauty!
Ngong Ping 360 cable car is 5.7 kilometers long, and the journey takes about 20 minutes. It is fun but a bit short. Haha~ Many carriages have been named after the brand, and the word "upstairs" is clearly printed on the dark blue carriages~ A long cable connects the two mountains and extends infinitely deep into the forest.
The cable car is divided into three sections, each section has different scenery, from the city scenery to the woods to the bay, the glass on all sides is particularly clear, every scenery passing by can be seen at a glance, and you can enjoy it from a high altitude with God's perspective 360 degrees the whole of Lantau Island.
Before boarding the car, the staff told us very intimately: The difference of this cable car is that it has a super design, that is, the chair can be turned up, freeing up more seats, allowing a more comprehensive view, and allowing the entire car space It looks bigger, the whole person lies on the glass floor and looks down, as if he can touch it with his hand, without being afraid at all, it is very comfortable and amazing~
Every time you climb over a mountain, different scenery flashes in front of you, and there are beautiful scenery from every angle, which is a bit dazzling!
How can such a beautiful scenery be without portrait photos? We started our posing, and my little brother and I both changed our hairstyles. I didn’t expect that they were all split in the middle. Hahaha~ It’s just that my little brother has green hair. I don’t dare to take it lightly. try. We all secretly laughed at her: With a little green on the head, life can be passed! (Cover mouth and laugh...fortunately, my little brother is currently single, hahaha~)
After crossing a mountain, dense fog gradually appeared, and the visibility became low, but it also has a special flavor, this is a kind of hazy beauty, watching the scenery with you, no matter what, it is very beautiful!
I really don’t have any style, so I came to give her a hug, and my little brother complained that this is a middle-aged aunt’s photo pose! I'm scared~ Who wouldn't become an aunt, just want to become an aunt with a temperament and a story. A dense fog is blowing, and the trip is almost over. These 20 minutes are a bit unfinished!
After getting off the cable car, this is another world. The cable car station is even more domineering. There are a lot of tourists taking photos here. The top ten best cable car experiences in the world. Take a group photo to prove: we have been here, hehe~
Strolling in the art market
Ngong Ping Market, which integrates restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, is also a developed scenic spot, similar to a street of various souvenirs~ There are many cute little rabbit sculptures along the way, squinting and grinning to reveal a white face Rabbit teeth gnawing on carrots, these lifelike little rabbits made the whole market lively.
Delicious food and specialty products are indispensable~
I found a small booth that made specimens, and I picked it up to look at it with trepidation. I was afraid and wanted to see it. There were all kinds of specimens. Spiders, centipedes, butterflies, hermit crabs, scorpions, bees, flowers... There are so many types, and the shapes are not single. I admire their creative product designs. Haha, my appreciation for them can't hide my inner fear , just look at it like this~
Encounter Lucky Meow~Let's learn how to meow together~
An old-fashioned movie theater, with various posters at the entrance, a bit cute~ Come, come, become the protagonist of the movie, stage a martial arts movie, the expression must be in place, one shot to the end, can't be NG!
This background is really great for taking photos~ Don’t all big stars take pictures with their own movie promotional photos~ Yes, here, I am a big star, my own big star~
Nantian Buddhist Kingdom, a magnificent holy land
Walking in Ngong Ping, you will meet many monks. It turns out that this place was once called the Nantian Buddhist Kingdom. Here is the head of the four major Zen forests in Hong Kong - Po Lin Temple. It was built in 1924 and has a certain historical accumulation. Palace of Heavenly Kings.
Walking into the Baolian Temple, the impetuous heart becomes quiet, and devout believers are burning incense and praying for blessings. In the pure place of Buddhism, I always feel that my soul has been purified and washed.
The hydrangea that blooms in the middle of the Daxiong Palace also seems to have grown a wonderful appearance spiritually, especially agile and full of vitality.
In Baolian Temple, you can see a majestic and huge Buddha on the opposite mountain. It turns out that this is the Tiantan Buddha, a statue of Sakyamuni made of bronze, with a total height of 26.4 meters. The base of the Buddha has three floors. With a height of nearly 34 meters, it is currently the largest bronze Buddha in the world. It really feels magnificent and sacred from a distance.
On the third floor of the base of the Great Buddha, there is an exhibition hall, which is a good place to learn about Buddhist culture. There are many Buddhist calligraphy, paintings and artworks on display. There is also a big bell, carved with scriptures, which will ring at regular intervals, every time it rings All symbolize that 108 kinds of troubles of people will be eliminated.
Standing at the bottom, looking at the majestic and peaceful Buddha, a heart of awe arises spontaneously. The Buddha saves all living beings with compassion.
Charming Tai O fishing village
After spending a little time visiting Ngong Ping, we still headed to Tai O, after all, there are more beautiful things waiting for us to explore. There is a bus ticket exchange place at the exit of Ngong Ping Market. You need to exchange the tickets in the package for the Lantau Pass, and you need to keep the return trip available. It is only valid on the day~ The bus to Tai O is No. 21 The car runs about every hour, so plan your time and don’t miss it~
As soon as I got in the car, I closed my eyes and meditated, as if I felt the car was moving forward on the winding mountain road, shaking in the car, and we arrived at Tai O fishing village in a daze. It used to be a bustling trading port, with many fishing boats on the waterway, and the voices of people have been buzzing for a long time. Now there are only three or two scattered fishing boats left, and only a small number of local residents are still engaged in fishing. It is embarrassing.
The past cannot be recalled, and a city and region must continue to move forward. Seeing its new look, the colorful and vibrant graffiti on the embankment endows this town with vitality and freshness. Let us want to understand more deeply, what kind of existence is it?
The island-themed graffiti on the wall caught our attention, wow~ Here comes the showman, we all have the props in the painting: black umbrella, mineral water, sunglasses, just act as you say, I am the one who was successfully captured The two "pirates" fell in love with the women, hahaha~ Only you are willing to accompany me to do such a stupid thing, regardless of the strange eyes of others, you are the best actresses in my mind!
I saw the pink seaside promenade, which seems to be a new check-in point for Internet celebrities, but it is not so pink and tender to the naked eye. Street lamps, benches, fishing boats, and a beautiful view of the fishing village.
The locals sat and chatted here, and watched us take pictures and unconsciously wondered: Can this be taken? What is there to shoot? Yes, there is no scenery in the familiar places. Those you face day and night are no longer familiar, but they are the beautiful scenery that we want to meet in our hearts. Anyway, I am happy, I am happy, as long as there is love in my heart, where is the scenery?
The long corridor stretches forward infinitely, it seems that there is no end to it, and the water on both sides is turquoise, which is a bit beautiful. Some people are fishing here, and there is also an uncle sitting on his bicycle, watching the three of us posing in various funny ways in this place~
Keep the funny and funny photos for yourself to enjoy, in front of you, just be a quiet beauty.
Walking on the main street, the colorful signboards exude a strong flavor of Hong Kong. There are few tourists here, and there is a strong atmosphere of life. Blue short skirt, white socks, black leather shoes, this is the iconic dress of Hong Kong students! Especially youthful, carrying a schoolbag to school.
Because it is close to the sea, there are a lot of dried seafood to buy here, and a gust of wind blows over and smells a strong smell of seafood. Fish maw, salted fish, dried oyster, squid, and dried shrimp are similar to ordinary seafood shops. The main product is fish maw and fish maw.
Shopkeeper os: Look~ Does this person want to buy or is he just pretending to pose for a photo? The guilty little brother was embarrassed to walk away, so we quickly stepped forward and pretended to take a look at her, pulling her and the three of us to run away in a hurry.
It's really interesting to find that the cute puffer fish 🐡 is bulging and can be made into dried fish! Can't help laughing out loud~
Tai O Fishing Village is actually not very big. There are several streets: Jiqing Street, Wing On Street, and Taiping Street. There are many shops on both sides of Jiqing Street. It is the most lively street and the most distinctive street. Walking on the street, it is very retro feel to take a photo~ There are many interesting small objects hidden in a small shop, and it is very interesting to browse carefully
Eat while walking, taste special delicacies, big fish balls, brine cuttlefish, taste the authentic Hong Kong taste~ spicy big fish balls are delicious, Q bomb Q bomb, spicy or not spicy, spicy taste is more fragrant Some are worth recommending~ It’s a pity that many restaurants are not open for business, so I’m a little disappointed, so let’s keep them in suspense and wait for my stomach to pamper me next time~
Go out to sea and hunt for white dolphins
"Dolphin, dolphin..."
"Do you want to take a boat to see the white dolphins?"
When we first set foot in Tai O, there were many people at the pier asking if we wanted to go out to sea. Private yachts can go as soon as they say, but the safety guarantee is not strong. We almost have to follow. When we took out the package ticket They shook their heads and let us go to the main street. It turns out that there are regular yachts beside the bridge, and they sail when they are full.
Boarded the boat and quickly found a seat to sit down. The good seats on the side were all occupied. The crooked nuts on the boat made us almost think we were going abroad. Haha~ It feels like participating in an island hopping tour...
The boat drives to the depths of the village, first visit the beautiful scenery of Tai O fishing village, and see how beautiful this place called "Hong Kong Venice" is!
Tai O got this name because of the criss-crossing waterways here, and the traditional characteristic water sheds are still preserved. The wooden house was erected high, at least one meter above the water. The boat moved forward and shuttled slowly, and the rows of shacks on the left and right were slowly receding in sight.
The boats in front of the door sway gently, and the clothes hanging outside the house are fluttering in the wind. There are still many local residents living here. They love Tai O deeply, but a large part of it is vacant and unoccupied. After all, if you live in this environment for a long time, it will be relatively humid, and there may even be a risk of flooding.
The coming of a strong typhoon in 2018 made Tai O a severe test. Most of the shacks were seriously damaged and the lives of residents were also affected. Now seeing the dilapidated appearance of many shacks, I also sigh that it is not easy to see the intact shacks.
Some people leave, others stay, and everything in the world is like this.
Turning the bow, we head out to sea. The sea water on cloudy days also became very turbid, the sea surface was foggy, and the bridge across the sea in the distance looked a little familiar. It turned out that this was the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
Connecting Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, this sea-crossing bridge has won many honors. The cross-sea bridge with the largest amount of scientific patents and investment.
The S-shaped design makes it look cool and technological, and it is truly an important bridge connecting cross-strait relations. Because of the short distance, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge tour team occasionally has a trip to Tai O.
Passing through a mangrove forest, many birds inhabit and look for food here. The junction of salty and fresh water is very suitable for the growth of mangrove forests, which also gives Tai O a different natural scenery.
We thought that there was no chance for the white dolphins. We were going to return. We saw a small boat in the distance parked on the sea for a long time. The experienced captain knew that there must be white dolphins. Sure enough, we waited for a while, and the dolphins sometimes jumped out of the sea and caused a scream. Capture its figure, but it is with us, meeting is the greatest luck.
Yoyo happily said that she saw it five times, five times, super lucky! In the world of adults, it is actually very easy to be happy, hehe~ Having good friends by your side and unexpected surprises are enough to make this day full of happiness.
Water Shack, Hong Kong Style Afternoon Tea
Back in the harbor, passing by a shack, drinking afternoon tea, they warmly greeted all of us on the boat, haha~ Today’s Tai O floating shacks are no longer simple private houses, but some have been transformed into distinctive features Small literary and art shops, cultural and creative shops, coffee shops, etc. make the traditional shack no longer a mysterious existence, and it also makes it possible to continue.
After disembarking, we wandered into a coffee shop. It turned out to be a unique place when we walked in. It seemed to be the one we saw when we passed by by boat. The outdoor viewing seats were superb, and we started our afternoon tea leisure time here.
Coffee is the main food here, and there are also light meals such as sandwiches, cakes, and shrimp roe noodles, but the three of us all chose salty lemon honey, haha~ where did the tacit understanding come from! The original salty lemon honey is added with water, which has a special sweet, salty and salty taste, and is the best way to quench your thirst in summer. You can also choose to add Qixi, which has more lemon honey and sweetness, and the stimulation of carbon dioxide, the taste is richer, and it is delicious~
There are also various books introducing the history and culture of Tai O in the store. Read the pages one by one, follow the words, study them carefully, and the historical pictures will play in your mind over and over again. The glorious trading scene in the fishing village in the past is gone. If you didn't love it so deeply, how could you give up everything and stay with it through this low tide? It seems that the owner is also a person with a story.
Looking at the high and low shacks and the fishing boats coming and going, it is very comfortable, blowing the wind, watching the scenery and taking pictures, the comfortable and comfortable hours just slipped through the fingers.
There is a small table and various stamps at the entrance of the store, where you can collect stamps. Friends who love to collect stamps should not miss it! You can bring a small book to collect chapters! When we left, the shopkeeper sent us two postcards, which showed the water world in Tai O, and we took it away, which is our deep memory of it.
Connected to the coffee shop is a small shop displaying the culture and art of Tai O. There are books, oil paintings, postcards and other cultural and creative products in it, which are worth savoring. The store as a whole has a retro atmosphere, and the entrance is also very suitable for concave shapes. The crooked nuts accidentally broke into the picture, which is great~
Meows and Colors
In Tai O on weekdays, many shops are closed and there are few people on the street. It is very quiet and comfortable. This is the normal life of local residents. In this way, we inadvertently integrated into the lives of local residents.
The colorful Tai O is really suitable for taking pictures. Various Hong Kong elements can be seen everywhere, and the exterior walls of the entire building are full of nostalgic colors. Egg waffles, ice room teahouse, light shrimp sauce, all the old feelings are slowly reminiscing today.
Just stop by the door of any store, and you can shoot a blockbuster with a strong retro Hong Kong style. Cool, love it...
Even the entrance of the resident association has such a bright color scheme, which is super beautiful! Such a beautiful color scheme, how can I not take a picture~
A meow suddenly broke into my lens, circling around my feet! I was still standing there watching in a daze, and the two of them shouted excitedly, it wants to get close to you, hurry up to interact with it, take a photo with it, touch it!
In fact, I was afraid of small animals and refused in my heart. Well, I squatted down to interact with it. I don’t know if I felt my indifference. It raised its tail and raised its head. That arrogant expression is only willing to give me one. Back view, it's too embarrassing! Hahaha~
Lazy cats, squinting their eyes and basking in the sun, their lazy posture tells us how happy they are here. It still raised its haughty head arrogantly, but we refused to pay attention to it no matter how we teased it, and even turned its head away as if a bit disdainful!
It is said that there is a cat experience hall here, enjoying afternoon tea while petting cats. The two cat lovers found this store with great expectations. When they opened the gate of the yard, they found that the store was locked. Through the crack of the door, you can see cats inside. what?
A single-family house, rainbow-colored tin, a cat guarding the house ~ Do not disturb, it is our tenderness ~
Along the way, you can meet all kinds of cats, yellow, white, black, and flowers, so many that I wonder if it is actually a few cats walking on the street repeatedly! If you look carefully, it is obviously not. If this continues, this place can be renamed "Cat Island"!
Juanjuan: "Come on, help me take a photo here, I'm going to that Jingdong toast place to take a photo"
...I was stunned!
Tokyo Shiduo, none of the four words are in the correct order, I laughed and cried 😂
I accidentally discovered that the road next to the shop turned out to be a pier at the end. The white brick wall said "Tokyo Wharf" in traditional Chinese characters. With the dilapidated shack opposite, this picture really had a sense of time travel. I was at the ferry port , waiting for your ferry.
The slope of the arch bridge, the waterfront pier, who remembers
Crossing the river in a flat boat, I am still hurting, I turn around before leaving, who is waving in the distance
life is ordinary
In the evening, the street where there were no tourists was even quieter. Occasionally, a few locals passed by. The aunt riding a bicycle, the old man walking leisurely with his hands behind his back, every day of life is so ordinary and comfortable, every story All are happening, and all the encounters are extraordinary in ordinary days.
The shops selling dried shrimp paste, the couplets that attract wealth and wealth, and the booming firecrackers give you the illusion of Chinese New Year! Open a small shop and run your own business. When you are tired, you can close the door and rest for a few days. Freedom means that you can do what you don’t want to do. How wonderful~
Smelling a strong smell of squid, looking for the scent, it turned out to be a shop selling dry goods, grilling squid~ The owner does not need to shout loudly, the smell is the most powerful and effective way to attract customers~
As a Chaoshan native, we also like to eat grilled squid. When I was young, my favorite thing was to eat grilled squid as a snack. Standing in front of the table, my father poured alcohol into a wide plate, and the long chopsticks held the squid Bake it, slowly roll it into a ball, tear the squid into a piece and put it on a plate. I am already drooling at the table! The grilled shredded squid is dry, but the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. Soak it in a cup of Tieguanyin, it’s hot and warm, it’s perfect~
Hengshuidu is a bridge made of flat-bottomed plate-shaped boats connecting the two sides of a river or waterway. It is very stable and can be used for cars or pedestrians. The former Hengshuidu no longer exists and has become a blue steel pedestrian bridge, known as the Hengshui Bridge or Dayong Bridge. This is also the only way for every Tai O resident, a bridge that connects their whole world.
Back in the urban area, the prosperity of the whole city is fully displayed at this moment. The lights are brilliant, and people coming and going in a hurry prolong the traffic flow of light and shadow, making the life of this city gradually more intense. The double-decker buses and red taxis that can be seen everywhere on the street can be recognized at a glance, this is Hong Kong...
Shuttle through the streets, the familiar names in those Hong Kong dramas flashed one by one: Nathan Road, Tung Choi Street, Ladies' Market...Walking on the road in the drizzle, I remembered the hero and heroine in the Hong Kong drama who ran into each other at the bottom of the building while hiding from the rain The scene, those Hong Kong-style flavors, and Hong Kong feelings are infinitely magnified this night.

【Black tea ice room】
Recommended index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Per capita price: 60 yuan
When I come to Hong Kong, I almost always go to tea restaurants. This one is for shopping around Mong Kok after eating. It is unexpectedly delicious, and the price is really very conscientious.
I especially recommend the {Cheese Flowing Heart West Toast} and {Ice and Fire Double Sky Pineapple Oil}, the West Toast is sweet and soft when bitten down, and the bread has a bit of a crispy texture. The cheese flows in the mouth, which is especially delicious Not too sweet either. Pineapple oil is pineapple buns with butter, hot pineapple buns with a few ice grains, put it in your mouth, the duality of ice and fire is very special, the important thing is that ice cold can relieve greasy, delicious 😋
The red bean ice is also recommended! All in all, the products are really ok, like it~ There are several reviews on it but they seem to be different, this one is on Nathan Road, capitalized black tea ice room, I don’t know if the others are branches, I haven’t tried it, so it’s not good to comment. ~
[18 Paparazzi fans]
Recommended index: 🌟🌟🌟
Per capita price: 35 yuan
It's an inconspicuous small shop on the side of the road, but many big stars have eaten here, and there are some reports that the shop is full of photos of stars taking photos with the store staff and the owner. The surrounding environment is also a bit dirty and messy, there is no table, so you can only take a chair to sit on the side of the road to eat.
I ordered one each of fire duck wings, paparazzi noodles, and golden silk fire duck fish broth. I don’t understand why they are so popular. Paparazzi noodles are delicious. The other two are relatively average. The key is that the price is not low. It is recommended to try it nearby Well, it is not necessary to check in~
【Jia Jia Dessert】
Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Per capita price: 30 yuan
I found a dessert shop near the hotel. When I was going to eat paparazzi powder, I saw a lot of people queuing up, so I really wanted to try it. The overall taste is not bad, not too sweet, and the price is not particularly expensive~
I ordered egg flower water chestnut dew, taro lotus seed sago dew, papaya stewed snow fungus, egg flower water chestnut dew is very refreshing, it feels very suitable for summer ~ hehe! Taro paste and lotus seed sago dew, I have never heard of this one. It almost means taro paste.
Dry goods strategy
[endorsement]
To go to Hong Kong, you must first have a Hong Kong and Macau Pass, and then apply for a Hong Kong endorsement. The card-type pass is very convenient to operate. You can choose the nearest immigration hall to apply. It is recommended that the machine is open 24 hours a day. Once every three months or twice a year, sign as needed.
【pass】
From Shenzhen to Hong Kong, there are multiple ports to choose from, such as Luohu, Huanggang, Lok Ma Chau, etc., with different opening hours. The most crowded port is the Luohu Port, but once you pass the border, you can reach the MTR, so the transportation is convenient.
【Currency and Language】
Hong Kong dollars are used locally in Hong Kong, and Renminbi can also be used. The exchange rate is about 1 Hong Kong dollar equals to 0.88 yuan. Some places do not accept RMB, and those who accept RMB are generally used on a 1:1 basis, so it is more cost-effective to exchange for Hong Kong dollars. It can be exchanged at the border before crossing the border, or it can be exchanged in Hong Kong or directly withdraw cash at an ATM with a bank card. ATM withdrawals will charge a handling fee, depending on the regulations of each bank.
Cantonese is the main language, but Mandarin is also popular now, so friends who don't understand Cantonese don't have to worry. English usage rate is also very high, haha~
【communication】
It is recommended to buy a phone card in advance, which is particularly cost-effective and can be collected directly at the port. If you don't want to change your card, you can activate international roaming or buy a traffic package directly.
【transportation】
There are quite a lot of flights from major cities to Hong Kong. You can fly directly, or you can go to Shenzhen and then pass through the customs. There are many through trains starting from the Pearl River Delta that can go directly to Shenzhen. Get off at the border and then change to a bus. You can also take the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway directly to Hung Hom, Hong Kong.
Internal transportation: Hong Kong has well-developed public transportation, including MTR, buses, and water buses. It is recommended to prepare an Octopus, which can be used in various vehicles, and you can also use the Octopus to buy things. It is cost-effective to purchase the card directly to recharge. It costs more than 40 yuan from Luohu to Mong Kok, and the recharge of 100 Hong Kong dollars will be used up soon~
Attached is the Hong Kong Railway map, Baidu map can be checked but sometimes it is not very smart, there are not many recommended routes, you can design the route by yourself😄
【stay】
It is recommended to live in the Yau Ma Tei area of Mongkok. The transportation is convenient, and it is super convenient to buy things nearby. You don’t have to worry about not being able to return home too late. Accommodation in Hong Kong is generally more expensive, with prices ranging from 300 to 600, and the area is slightly smaller.
The hotel I stayed at this time is [Hong Kong Pandora Hotel]. It is near MTR Jordan Station and only 10 minutes walk to Yau Ma Tei MTR Station. The family room costs 400+ per night and can accommodate up to four people. There is a big bed and a bunk bed , there is also a living room, which is fairly clean, and the price/performance ratio is relatively high, but the building is relatively old.
【Shopping】
Many people go to Hong Kong for shopping, mostly concentrated in Mong Kok Central, Yau Ma Tei. If there are some department store anniversary celebrations, skin care products and clothing will be very cheap, and there will be a lot of people. Shopping paradise for women, enjoy shopping~
【⚠️Notes⚠️】
1. Hong Kong plugs use British plugs, and you need to bring a converter, or you can buy them locally.
2. Some subway stations in Hong Kong do not have elevators and need to take the stairs, so try not to change hotels or bring heavy luggage.
3. Many shops in Tai O are only open on weekends. If you want to go for delicious food, it is best to go on weekends~ If you just want to take pictures, it is recommended to avoid weekends, and there are much fewer people on weekdays
4. Take the bus from the lower station of the cable car to Tai O. If you have purchased a round-trip cable car ticket, the last bus back to the lower station of the cable car is after four o’clock. If you want to stay longer in Tai O, it is recommended to buy a one-way cable car ticket. After visiting Tai O, take the No. 11 bus directly back to Tung Chung Station. The latest bus is after 7:00.
5. You can buy a package for the cable car + Tai O tour, and the price is more cost-effective
