1 It is recommended to take the MTR to Kowloon Station. It's in Kowloon and you usually sit there at noon. There is also a large shopping mall at the subway entrance with a lot of delicious food and supermarkets, and the prices are not expensive.
2 After eating and shopping, you can use the map to navigate to Mong Kok, where things are cheaper, especially the Fruit Street, where there are many imported fruits, such as American cherries and coconuts. Papaya is much cheaper than in mainland China. At the same time, the cloud elevator in Langfanghao Shopping Center in Tsim Sha Tsui is straight, diagonally from the first floor to the roof of more than ten floors. Not recommended for people who are afraid of heights.
3 After visiting Mong Kok, take the MTR for 23 stops to Tsim Sha Tsui, Harbor City, known as the paradise of cosmetics. Almost all famous international brands are available, and the prices are very cost-effective. Discounts are generally larger in the middle and end of the year.
After visiting Harbor City, it was almost dark. I just took the Star Ferry to Central to see the night view. At night, there are many famous little dragon girls at the Central Ferry Pier, Long Ting, who often perform street performances at Pier 10 under the Central Ferris Wheel. At 8 o'clock in the evening, I took the Star Ferry back and went to the Victoria Promenade to watch the light show. Basically after the light show ended, I took the MTR back to the mainland.

Hong Kong:
For example, Disneyland and Ocean Park each require one day, the Peak and Wax Museum require most of the day, and Lantau Island requires One day, Hong Kong’s outlying islands such as Lamma Island also require at least one day. If shopping is scheduled for at least one day, then these things mentioned above will take at least five days.
Macau:
Macau’s tourism industry is better developed than Hong Kong’s, especially its rich nightlife. Hong Kong's attractions are all classic, such as Golden Bauhinia Square, Statue Square, Victoria Harbor, Avenue of Stars, Disneyland, Ocean Park, Stanley, Lantau Island and Lamma Island. Most tourists will choose to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days.
4 nights in Hong Kong and 2 nights in Australia.
The guide is as follows:
When applying for a visa, be sure to bring your original ID card and household registration book. It is best to take photos on site to save yourself the trouble of finding good photos to apply for certificates. The certificate will be issued in about a week, so it's best to do this in advance, not before. Don't schedule your time too tightly.
Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, where I am located, is a non-independent city. This must be noted. If you want to go to Macau, you can sign together with Hong Kong and Macau. If you already have a pass, please note that the re-approval must be valid for more than six months! I won't go with any tour group. Friends in non-free travel areas of Tang Dynasty, don’t worry. As long as you want to go, there is nothing you can do.
Get a pass to the port.
There are many travel agencies
First of all, I got up in the morning and went to the Bank of China to exchange some Macau patacas and Hong Kong dollars, but you can also exchange them at the customs port. However, I think the bank is quite reliable. When I went there, I didn’t have enough foreign currency. The person in charge was very kind and specially transferred some foreign currency from other branches. In the end, I changed it. It is recommended that you change some change in advance. However, when swiping a UnionPay card in Hong Kong and Macao, there is no handling fee for credit cards. The money can be deducted directly by converting the exchange rate of the day. It is very convenient to swipe the card!
At 11 a.m., we left Zhuhai and took a taxi to Gongbei Port. There are many good restaurants in Gongbei, and the prices are much cheaper than in Macau. Then there are many little things in Gongbei. It is recommended to consider buying special products, cheap prices and rich varieties! There are also a variety of duty-free cigarettes, some cheap and beautifully packaged, but not available anywhere else. It’s also a great option to take them back and give them away!
The customs clearance time at Gongbei Port is 07:00-24:00. It takes about 20 to 40 minutes one way from Zhuhai to Macau. You need to queue at both sides of the border control, which takes at least 10 minutes! It is recommended that you get up early and go through customs, otherwise there will be a lot of people!
The next step is the fare issue after transiting through Macau. I am a poor tourist, so I don’t spend a penny if I can. Haha, there are a lot of tourist buses passing through Macau. The picture above shows these shuttle buses. Those buses and buses are free, so you can take any kind of transportation. You can choose the bus in Macau in the direction you want to go.
Next, let's take a rest at the hotel. The hotel I booked directly from Zhuhai Travel Agency, Macau New Central Hotel, is really the cheapest hotel in Macau. Isabella and 2046 Hotels can stay for almost 100 patacas a night ~ but the environment is not very good. I always take a pillowcase and sheets with me when I go out, so I can have a good sleep no matter how bad the hotel is!
Then this new Central Hotel became my hotel and the room was just fine. It’s very convenient to sell things on the busiest road in Macau~ I met a lot of ladyboys when I went there, which scared me to death, but I also thought it was quite fun~ Then the elevators, stairs, and bathrooms are all old, like I’m back in the 1970s~~ But I don't want luxury goods, as long as it's convenient, cheap and safe.
The Shiliupu Comprehensive Leisure Resort covers an area of ??more than 2.3 hectares and is located in the inner harbor city of Macau with a long history and culture.
Shiliupu has a five-star hotel, a casino, Asia’s first Michael Jackson treasure gallery, and a leisure and entertainment shopping mall that is about to be completed.
Then I went to the famous Fisherman’s Pier S in Macau~ Fortunately, I wasn’t hungry today. I was looking for something special to eat all day, but what fisherman's restaurant has higher prices. S Pier ~ Besides, I am a girl from Sichuan. I buy everything I eat there every day, and the price is only one-tenth of that in Macau, so I will never spend money on Sichuan food.

If you have never been to Hong Kong and only plan to go to Hong Kong for one day, how about a one-day tour in Hong Kong? There is only one day left in a week, so I hope you have completed the task of buying cosmetics, because you can relax on the last day and wander around to collect your thoughts.
Suppose you are leaving Hong Kong tomorrow. So when you get up early this morning, please cruelly refuse the nondescript breakfast provided by the hotel. Why not go out to the nearby Tsui Wah restaurant and try the authentic Hong Kong style breakfast?

Visitors can also visit the Wan Chai Folk Museum on the first floor of the Blue House. Through thematic exhibitions and some creatures collected from local residents, we can get a glimpse of Hong Kong's early life and culture.
Next, we have to arrive at Causeway Bay at 12:00 noon, because at the seaside of Gloucester Road, the noon cannon is fired every day. It's called Jardine's Noon Cannon, and it's a fortress owned by the Jardine Group. s company. Before firing, the bell must be rung eight times. It originated from the Jardines East Point era's office buildings and warehouses, heralding the end of the morning working hours.

The current L visa group visa allows you to clear customs directly, and there is no need to go with a tour group. China Huatong Because Hong Kong is a special administrative region, tourists traveling to Hong Kong or transiting through Hong Kong to the mainland and foreign countries need to enter and exit. So, should I apply for a passport or a Hong Kong and Macau pass when going to Hong Kong? Can Shenzhen fly from Hong Kong to a mainland city and then back to Hong Kong? How was the week? Can I travel from Hong Kong to a foreign country for more than seven days? Mainland tourists have too much confusion. Based on our experience and lessons learned from countless trips to and from Hong Kong, we will answer all questions related to Hong Kong’s entrance and exit one by one for your reference. 1. The Hong Kong and Macau Pass will expire in one day. Can I go to Hong Kong? Huatong: Yes, you can enter Hong Kong at any time before expiration and stay for 7 days. Even if it has expired, it will be allowed when you come back. For example, if the pass expires on July 1, you can enter Hong Kong on the same day and return before July 7. 2. How do you calculate the one-week Hong Kong and Macau Pass? Huatong: A Hong Kong and Macao pass that allows multiple return trips in a year can only be used once a week. Once a week is calculated as a calendar week, and you can only go to Hong Kong once in seven days from Monday to Sunday. For example, I went to Hong Kong on Sunday, which is the last natural week, and I can go there next Monday. 3. Can I apply for a passport when traveling to Hong Kong? Huatong: No, when traveling to Hong Kong, you can only use your passport to enter Hong Kong if you obtain a Hong Kong and Macao pass, travel abroad, or transit in Hong Kong. 4. What will happen if I enter Hong Kong with my passport and come back directly without taking a flight? Huatong: If you do not leave Hong Kong, but just travel in Hong Kong, you will be stamped with a delay in your trip when you come back. The consequences are very serious: the first time you get a D.T. stamp, the second time you will be questioned and warned by the Hong Kong Immigration Bureau, and you may be Denied entry. The third time you will generally be directly refused entry and may be blacklisted, so you do not need to bring a third country to enter Hong Kong with a one-year US visa. The worst case scenario is that you could be fined hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars or even jailed for several months for making false statements. Not long ago, there were many cases. In addition, stamping a D.T. stamp on your passport will also affect your visa to other countries, or even lead to visa rejection. 5. Can all Chinese tourists go to Hong Kong alone with the Hong Kong and Macau Pass? Huatong: No, the Hong Kong and Macau passes are divided into individual travel (G-sign) and group travel (L-sign). G Individual travel endorsement allows you to enter and exit Hong Kong freely without joining a group, and you can fly directly from the mainland to Hong Kong; l Signing a group travel endorsement allows you to enter Hong Kong with a group. lAs an endorsement, you can fly directly to Hong Kong individually, but you can fly in a group. 6. I am traveling in a group (L sign). How do I enter Hong Kong? Huatong: Those with L visa can only enter Hong Kong with a team, but they do not need to enter Hong Kong alone like G-spot. However, if all gates have on-site customs clearance services, you can go to Hong Kong by yourself after handling customs clearance services. EMS, SF Express and other WeChat accounts, WeChat official accounts and Taobao can all handle customs clearance services online. 7. You can only stay in Hong Kong for 7 days. If I fly abroad for more than 8 days and return after 8 days, will the 7-day limit be exceeded? Huatong: After entering Hong Kong, go through boarding pass, security check, and exit at the airport. By the time you arrive at the waiting hall, you've actually left the country, so you win by not being late. When you come back, you enter the country again, and then leave the country and return to the mainland. There is no problem of being 7 days overdue.
8. After the Hong Kong and Macau Pass expires, can I use the self-service E channel after re-applying or renewing? Children: After changing or renewing the certificate, you can still use Channel E when exiting the China border port in Shenzhen. However, when you enter Hong Kong for the first time after getting a new certificate, you must go through a manual counter. When returning, if it takes more than four hours (counted from the time of entry), you can also take Route E in Hong Kong. If it takes less than four hours, the data may not sync. It is recommended to take the manual channel. 9. Can I use the self-service e-lane when taking my children to Hong Kong?

The Hong Kong and Macau Pass is only valid in Hong Kong and Macau, and foreign countries will not recognize the validity of the pass. 11. Do the entry and exit documents for Hong Kong have to be the same as those for flying? Huatong: It can be different. The documents required for ticket purchase and boarding can be different from the documents required for entry and exit. Immigration procedures and flight procedures are different from each other. It doesn't matter which method of boarding you take when entering and leaving Hong Kong. It can be the same document, such as a passport for entry, exit and boarding; it can also be different. You can enter Hong Kong with your pass, check in with your passport (the air ticket is a passport), leave the airport customs with your pass, and fly abroad at the boarding gate with your passport. 12. What is the process for mainland tourists to fly abroad from Hong Kong? Huatong: Buy air tickets with a permit - Enter with a permit - Register with a permit - Check in at the airport - Depart with a permit - Board the plane with a permit - Fly to other areas. The immigration process is different from the flight process, but the order of the two procedures is often confused, making people confused. However, please remember one principle: the entry and exit documents must be consistent, that is, you must have a passport for entry and exit, and you must have a Hong Kong and Macao pass for exit. Boarding documents can be different. 13. Can I take the E-Channel from Hong Kong International Airport to fly abroad? Huatong: If you enter Hong Kong with a passport, you must leave the airport with your passport. You don’t need to take Aisle E. Those who enter Hong Kong with electronic card-type Hong Kong and Macao Permits can use Channel E with their passes. It’s much faster without having to queue. Even if you use your passport to board the plane, you can exit through the E channel of the airport by yourself. You can also use the pass to enter Hong Kong when returning to the airport. If it is not available when you return to Hong Kong (occasionally), you can use the manual channel. 14. Some foreign airlines must present their Hong Kong ID card when flying back to Hong Kong from abroad. what do I do? Huatong: I have also encountered this situation. You can tell the airline staff that Hong Kong belongs to China and enter Hong Kong with a Chinese passport. In addition, you can directly show the Hong Kong and Macao pass, but do not use the pass to register your mobile phone. In fact, passes can and will not be processed. 15. Can I buy a ticket from Hong Kong to the Mainland with my passport, and then fly back to Hong Kong and Shenzhen from the Mainland? Huatong Lake: It is best to use the Hong Kong and Macau Pass to buy air tickets, and try to use the pass for round-trip travel. Although I have a record of using my passport to buy air tickets to fly from Hong Kong to the Mainland, when I left the Beijing airport, I also met people who said that I would not use my passport to go back and forth to Hong Kong, but would only use the Hong Kong and Macau Permit. 16. Can I use my ID card to buy Hong Kong flight tickets or check in for Hong Kong flights? Huatong: No, the ID card can be used in Hong Kong and Macau. You can only use Hong Kong and Macao passes. Even if you fly to the mainland, you don’t need to use your ID card. You must use your Hong Kong and Macau pass or passport to purchase tickets and check-in for any flight, including domestic flights, at Hong Kong International Airport. 17. When I arrived at the Shenzhen port, I found that the replacement pass had expired. what do I do? Hua Tong: I saw it once too. Forgot to renew the Hong Kong and Macau pass, can’t I don’t pass it by that time. However, there are self-service visa machines in many places in Shenzhen that can renew my electronic card-based Hong Kong and Macau Pass on the spot. For example, outside the entry-exit permit halls in various districts of Shenzhen, some police stations have self-service sign-in machines. The nearest one is Futian Port Building. You can leave the country within a few minutes of on-site processing, but you can only pay by bank card. At the same time, only residents registered in Guangdong Province or non-local residents holding a residence permit in Shenzhen can apply. If the pass itself expires, it cannot be processed, so you must renew it.
18. Can the small slips printed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department be thrown away? Huatong: Even if you enter Hong Kong now, the Hong Kong and Macau Pass does not need to be stamped, but a small note will be printed for you stating the date of entry and duration of stay. Don't throw it away! It’s better to keep it while I’m in Hong Kong. I once
This is even more important if you go abroad with your passport, because your passport does not have any entry and exit record stamps. When applying for a visa on arrival in some countries, you need to check the place of entry in your passport, and be sure to take out this small piece of paper for verification. If you throw it away, sometimes it will be troublesome. 19. The twice-a-year Hong Kong and Macau pass has been used twice. Do I have to wait until next year? Huatong: No, it is used twice a year and then you can renew it. You can update it any time you use up your entries twice a year. If you go to Hong Kong more than three times a year, you can apply for a return visa for more than one year. It should be noted that many water users take advantage of this loophole and use renewals repeatedly so that they cannot be limited to one line per week. As a result, some people will be restricted, so be careful. 20. What is the fastest way from Shenzhen to Hong Kong International Airport? Huatong: Take the ferry from Shenzhen Shekou Prince Bay Cruise Home Port (also known as the cruise center, there is a free shuttle bus from Shekou Pier) to Hong Kong International Airport. The journey takes about half an hour, and the flight interval is about an hour. The downside is that you can’t get a tax refund if you don’t Idon’t, and it will be expensive, about 220 HKD. 21. When entering or leaving Hong Kong, someone needs help getting through customs. Can you help them? Huatong: During the customs clearance process, it is recommended that you don’t help others. items. If drugs or other prohibited items are found inside, they could face jail time or even greater legal problems. If someone asks you to help carry any item through customs, you should think twice.
