Family travel in Hong Kong is indeed a very pleasant and joyful experience for many mainland parents and children. Hong Kong has superb service industries and entertainment industry projects, and is also a highly regarded shopping paradise. Below Let me share with you the 2018 Hong Kong family travel guide.

Four years later, Rourou set foot at Luohu Port again

1. Depart from Pingshan and take the shuttle bus to Luohu. It takes an hour to wait for the bus and drive. Since Rourou is less than 120 centimeters tall, she does not need to purchase additional tickets, but there are no seats, so I will sit with her in my arms. We got on the bus and started the car. We walked from the front to the back of the car, but we didn't find any empty seats. We asked the driver if there were no seats. The driver said that those with children would be picked up and the seats would be given to others. Only then did we find that there was a seat in the front row of the car. . Then I walked from the rear to the front of the car. This was very dangerous. The car was starting and Rourou and I were walking by ourselves. I quickly held her hand, but she was good at protecting herself and walked over holding on to the seat with one hand.

Suggestion: When taking your children out, if possible, be sure to get on the bus first, be at the front of the queue, and sit firmly before the bus starts.

2. I saw a passenger whose wallet was stolen at Luohu Port. He asked us to give him the fare so that he could take the bus. Because the fare was too high, I told him that the best way was to go to the police. When he saw us going to the police, he quickly got off the subway and demonstrated in front of his children that if there is a problem, don’t handle it yourself, let the police handle it. Be kind. It is necessary, but you cannot lose your life because of kindness. Such cases happen from time to time.

The best way is, "If you have difficulty, go to the police. The police will come and help."

Of course, if he asks me for a fare of less than 20 yuan, I would consider it, but he actually wants to go to Xiamen, a place I also want to go. If the fare hadn't been too expensive, I would have gone there long ago. I didn't even have to go, so how could I give it to him. But after my classmate met me, she said that there were many such scammers at the port. Fortunately, I didn’t believe it. When you go out and meet someone in trouble, be sure to call the police. Also remind yourself to bring some cash with you, around 100 is enough. Otherwise, if my phone is stolen, I will be desperate.

3. About entry

The main reason why I don’t want to go to Hong Kong with my children may be that it is troublesome to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass because my children are young. It should be noted here that children’s Hong Kong and Macau passes are processed in the same way as adults. The difference is that adults can use the self-service channel when crossing the border and swipe their card to enter. Children under seven years old must be accompanied by an adult when walking through artificial passages. We went straight to the third floor and found that the manual passage was on the second floor. Now 90% of the people were using the self-service passage, except for those with children. In other words, there are very few people in the artificial passage. When we went there, there were only a few people queuing in front.

4. Note here, after passing the inspection gate here at Mainland China Pass, it is recommended to take your children to the bathroom. Because I have been in Hong Kong and am not familiar with life, it is very inconvenient to find a restroom. We had already been there once when we were waiting for our classmates at the port, but to avoid the kids making a fuss about going to the bathroom on the way, it was the best way to do it again here. Don't find it troublesome. It's more troublesome if your child yells to pee on the way. Another note: The restrooms here at the entrance are very clean.

5. Then pass the customs. The speed of passing the customs is very fast. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete the two checkpoints.

6. My classmate and I are here to say goodbye, because she does not need to take the MTR, and we have to go from Luo Wu to Hong Kong. Rourou's father had bought a child ticket for her to cross Hong Kong. If your child is young, you may not need to buy a ticket, but in order to give her a sense of ownership. Or give her an Octopus. The fare for children from Luohu to Hong Kong is HK$19. There is only 20 Hong Kong dollars on the card. I recharged her 50 Hong Kong dollars at the manual service window.

7. On the MTR. When a child is young, it is inevitable that she will be excited when going out for the first time. She lies down at the window and looks at the scenery outside. The sitting posture is adjusted, which is exactly the opposite of how we usually take the subway. Sometimes I can't help but get excited when I see the scenery outside the window. I rub my feet here and there and inevitably bump into the passengers next door.

The man sitting next to me was probably from Hong Kong, and he was somewhat repelled by us mainlanders. Once he accidentally touched his pants, he immediately patted his pants with his hands in disgust. Every time I go to Hong Kong, I feel this way more or less. And this time, I made a move. I took out a tissue from my bag. Hand it to him. Say to him, "Sorry". I took the initiative, but he became passive. I waved immediately, my face became much softer, and I nodded hurriedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

And Rourou didn't feel anything at all. This is what I want, and I don't want her to feel excluded.

This trick works very well. We become humble and tolerant, and others will not reject us too much.

8. When they arrived at the Hong_ subway station, Rourou wanted to eat bananas. She said she was hungry. I handed her a banana. Let me explain here, when we went out, we brought two durian cookies, two bottles of milk, two steamed buns, two bananas, and two small mangoes.

Exit the Hong Kong subway station, Exit A1, and the platform is the Cross Harbor Tunnel Toll Plaza. Nearby is the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which can be the purpose of our next trip to Hong Kong.

Before Rourou had even eaten two bites of banana, the 111 bus came and we quickly got on the bus. We were looking at the scenery along the way. Gigi Leung will have a concert soon. When taking a bus in Hong Kong, you must watch the screen carefully. There is also a voice announcement, but you can’t hear it clearly. It’s very quiet. I will watch the screen carefully and also look at the surrounding buildings and shops. When I got near "Fleming Avenue", I saw " "Hui Lau Shan" Dessert Shop, Watsons, and a pharmacy nearby. I silently remembered in my heart that I would come back here later to buy and eat.

9. I finally got off the bus. I had no sense of direction. I was surrounded by Filipino maids. It was my first time to take a bus in Hong Kong alone. I couldn’t understand the bus route signs. I couldn’t tell the direction when I got off the bus. I had no idea. Open traffic.

You can only raise your head and ask someone. The road is right next to your mouth, so there is no difficulty. I asked a middle-aged man in Hong Kong, "Can I order a hotel at the Mandarin Oriental?" It would be better to speak Cantonese than Mandarin. He said it was just around here, just walk to the end of the road.

10. Here, it turns out that the place we went to is Central. Every weekend is a holiday for Filipino maids. In Hong Kong, it costs about 200,000 to sign a contract with the employer. Once you work, it often lasts for several years. I can't go back to my country for the time, so my way of vacation is to use some public places to hold hometown gatherings.

The Central Sky Bridge is a treasure. It is not only spacious and cool, but also has a free and incomparable sea view. Thousands of Filipino maids come here to spend the weekend in private rooms, play cards, chat, sleep, and have buffet dinners. Dancing, the scene is exciting.

In fact, I think it is similar to our square dance, except that the dancers are young people instead of old people.

11. Then we found the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. One word, fragrant. We walked in from the side door and passed the hotel inside before we walked out. Here Rourou asked me: "Mom, are we going to live here?" I can only tell her the truth, we Just take a walk, leave, no longer live here.

12. We found the Mandarin Hotel. At the side entrance, we saw many flower displays. This is the place to worship Leslie Cheung. We also lined up. Spent about 1 and a half hours here.

13. Rourou saw a big Ferris wheel opposite. If I hadn’t used this Ferris wheel to coax her, she wouldn’t be willing to queue up with me at Leslie Cheung. Queuing up here is the only way to queue up. Only after you get on the bus and read Leslie Cheung's biography can you get a postcard and a refrigerator magnet. You can only do as the Romans do. Once you come, you must take it before you leave.

14. Finally got it and can go ride the Ferris wheel. When I arrived at the Ferris wheel, I was shocked. Everyone was there. Tickets are not expensive, 160 Hong Kong dollars for a private room, 20 Hong Kong dollars for adults, and 10 Hong Kong dollars for children. However, there were too many people and we ran out of time. I can only coax her, next time, come with her father and sister next time.

15. In this park. Be sure to find the restroom. Wherever there is a park, there are restrooms. After coming out of the bathroom, we chased birds on the grass. The birds in Hong Kong can play with children and are not afraid of people. Rourou flew away after chasing the birds, and then flew back. Fly away again.

Chasing birds in the park

16. When we arrived at the pier, I didn’t know where to go, but Rourou told me, “Mom, the daughter of the sea lives here. "Yes, the mermaid lives here." I thought of Mr. Xing's "Mermaid".

17. At the pier, there was a woman wearing a kimono that attracted me. Her sign said she was from Japan and her dream was to travel around the world. I communicated with her using my poor English. She told me she was from Japan, and the next stop was Shanghai. She asked me where I was from, and I said Shenzhen. She said she didn’t know Shenzhen, she only knew Shanghai, and that was her DREAMcity. She used the word Dream City to tell me that she was holding a Japanese piano in her hand. Rourou touched it, Rourou touched it, she raised her big finger and said "Musician". Foreigners are really good at complimenting people. I also said "theauntisbeautiful." to Rourou. She heard me praising her and praised Rourou in Japanese as "kawaii."

We communicated with each other. Miss S heard that I had been to Shanghai, and the two of us With bright eyes, he asked me if I was from Shanghai. I quickly said no, I had been there in longlongago. It’s really only when the book is used that I miss it, and I really accumulate more sentences in my daily life. I really want to ask her WeChat, but it makes me sad to think that the data is not turned on. She told me that there will be no performance today when there are not many people, but I will perform tomorrow when there are more people.

18. We were taking pictures near the pier. As long as we saw someone with a SLR, we could call him over to take pictures. At this time, we found that Cantonese was useless because they couldn’t understand it, let alone Mandarin. The only answer is "can

you?takeaphotoforme?" in English. As long as you say it, they will be happy to help take pictures.

Central Pier

19. When crossing the road. I saw someone taking pictures, and it turns out that I can take pictures like this. There is no one around, and I can take a panoramic view of the Ferris wheel. This place is great for taking pictures. As expected, it is about learning the good things of others and bringing out the good things in yourself. Leslie Cheung is right.

Hong Kong Ferris Wheel

20. Return to the underground passage. Just before walking over, the two people were sketching the Post Office Building and starting to color it. Awesome. Concentrated people are so cute. Then we returned to the station and took the 111 bus back to Fleming Road.

21. We got off the car and saw Watsons. We got off the car and looked at Dao Bookstore. We originally planned to bring the GOLDSEASON runners with children’s materials, but we didn’t. We only bought a first-grade elementary school Mathematical Olympiad and scrapbooks. painting. Here, people are on their way. Two books cost 64 Hong Kong dollars. After searching through the whole package, it was only 60 Hong Kong dollars. The landlady saw it and accepted our 60 Hong Kong dollars. She told us that they were mobile traders and did not live there permanently. They were just staying here for a month, waiting for the boss to find someone to rent. I won’t rent it to them. Their rent is more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a day. It’s a day, not a month. If it’s in a shopping mall, it’s 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a day. It's really expensive. Life in mainland China is pretty good.

22. After buying a good book, I wanted to find ointment for my aunt. After passing Xu Liushan, Rourou refused to leave, but she was still willing to accompany me to find several pharmacies. I found five. The owner of the pharmacy told me that this was a designated one. Pharmacies were sold, and they were only available in Mong Kok. I finally gave up and passed by places like Lan Kwai Fong Bar, which were not suitable for children. I really wanted to escape with my children quickly.

23. At Hui Liu Shan, I ordered strawberry pancakes, two of them, HKD 32. You can pay via WeChat and transfer directly to the RMB exchange rate by swiping your credit card. In addition, I packed mango glutinous rice cake for Brother Shan. Every time I go out, I bring him some food. Eaters are soft-spoken, so it’s hard for him to say too much about me. Gourmet plan.

24. When I arrived at Watsons, I saw that I had to buy toothpaste, milk powder, and shower gel. I bought everything, and spent more than 500 Hong Kong dollars. I told myself that I need to use it all, but where is it? Just buy it.

25. I saw NIKE while waiting for the bus. I walked in and took a look. Even if I missed the 111 bus, the original price of 899 shoes only cost 499 Hong Kong dollars if the code was broken. It really attracted me, but it was difficult to wear. , the sole feels too hard.

I tried another soft one, and sure enough, you get what you pay for. When I asked about the price, it was 1299. I quickly said, we don’t have enough time, we have to leave.

26. While waiting for the 111 bus to arrive, there were two Filipinos waiting together, who looked very unfriendly. Maybe I don’t understand Cantonese. They are wary of each other. After getting on the bus, let’s talk about the bus here. Taking the bus in Hong Kong is very expensive, HK$4.9 for children and HK$9.8 for adults. Regardless of the number of stops. As soon as we got on the bus, Hong Kong was indeed a high-consumption destination.

Here, I met a Hong Kong lady and I communicated with her in Cantonese. She said that she couldn't learn Mandarin no matter how hard she studied. When she was studying, the school taught Mandarin but she just couldn't learn it. She was surprised that I could say it and my daughter couldn't. Then she got out of the car and got on another middle-aged lady who was more fashionable and wore makeup. Rourou asked me: What is this sound? The aunt next to me said, we are at the bottom of the sea. This is an undersea tunnel. Only then did I know that it is really possible to dig a tunnel in the sea and open it to traffic. This is the undersea tunnel we usually hear. Rourou said that we all became "daughters of the sea" and took a bus to swim around on the bottom of the sea.

27. When I got off the train and transferred to the subway, I saw an elderly performer on the overpass. He was singing "Victory Hands Creation". Rourou saw others giving money and asked me why we didn't give money. I said we didn't have any money here, only our money there, and they didn't accept it.

28. We were on the subway. Rourou was doing math in the car with her newly bought first-grade Mathematical Olympiad, attracting the passengers on the opposite seat. Their family came to Hong Kong for a trip and saw Rourou so I have been doing questions since I was a child, and I naturally became the target of praise. Rourou didn't understand what they were saying, so she did her own thing. And I accompanied her throughout the whole process, without playing with my mobile phone. She only had to reach the finish line, and there was no need to look at the mobile phone or the platform at all.

Doing math problems on the MTR

29. After getting off the MTR, I have always thought that the MTR is a subway, but it is not. We took a train from Luohu. My classmate told me before that only trains have rocks underneath, but there are no subways.

30. Carrying milk powder and shower gel during border inspection is really heavy. When we arrived at the port, Rourou helped me hold the milk powder to reduce the weight. When we rushed to the bus station, we were told by a driver of a black car that the last bus to Pingshan had stopped running. A young man also went to Pingshan. The driver suggested that we carpool, and the price was 100 per person and then 80. Then a girl came and said that for three people, it would be 50 per person. I didn't agree, although 50 yuan was not much. We took the shuttle bus for 20 yuan, and the time spent was the same whether it was a private car or a shuttle bus. But as a veteran traveler, I decided to go to the window for consultation. When I arrived at the window, I asked the staff. The staff just asked us to line up and refused to say anything else. After waiting for 10 minutes and getting on the bus, I found out that the last bus was at 9 o'clock, and it was already 9:20. Because of the traffic jam, the last bus was delayed. I silently thought to myself that Leslie Cheung still appeared in heaven to bless us.

This day’s journey ends like this. This is also Rourou’s first trip to Hong Kong. What a wealthy daughter can do is take her on a journey, grow up together, see the world that I have seen, and see the world together that we have never been to.

Traveling enriches the brain, but only at the expense of the stomach. It really doesn’t matter if you skip dinner once in a while. The so-called nourishment does not necessarily mean eating well and using it well. It doesn't matter if you don't eat well occasionally. During the journey, she also complained that she was hungry, but fortunately there were bananas to satisfy her hunger.
