My friend’s Hong Kong travel experience
Before going to Hong Kong, you must find a travel agency to exchange Hong Kong dollars. My cousin and I exchanged 6,000 Hong Kong dollars in one ***, which is equivalent to RMB 6,049 .And you can swipe cards when shopping in Hong Kong. We passed the customs at Shenzhen Luohu Port. After passing the customs, we immediately bought two 300 yuan Octopus cards. This card is very convenient and can be used in any convenience store. There are several after passing the customs. We bought a 98 yuan phone card from a seller of mobile phone cards, which costs only 2 cents a minute to call back to the mainland from Hong Kong. We also bought two Ocean Park tickets for only 165 Hong Kong dollars each, which cost 185 Hong Kong dollars each at the park entrance. After passing the border, you can take the subway directly to Hong Kong. We booked the Imperial Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui through a travel agency in advance. The price is 660 Hong Kong dollars per night. The prices of hotels in Hong Kong are different every day. When we went there, we caught up with what exhibitions were being held in Macau, and the room prices It suddenly increased. I heard from friends that it only costs HK$550 a night to stay in this hotel. So when you go there, you must book your air tickets and hotel in advance. You must also buy tickets for Disney and Ocean Park in advance. This is convenient and cost-effective. Let’s talk about our three-day itinerary:
On the first day, we crossed the border from Luohu Port at 8:00 in the morning and took the subway to Tsim Sha Tsui for 40 minutes. After arriving, we were supposed to go out at the B2 exit, but we searched for a long time and couldn't find it. So after coming out of P2, both of us were blind and couldn't find the north. At this time, we asked a local family and they were very enthusiastic. They helped us inquire about the hotel address, and even picked up the phone to help us call the local information desk. In the end, what moved us even more was that the whole family sent us to the hotel, and continued to tell us about Hong Kong routes and shopping places along the way. , which gave us both a very good impression of Hong Kong. When I got to the hotel, I washed my face and was immediately excited to go shopping easily. First stop: Times Square in Causeway Bay. There are seven floors with many brands. The attached first floor is Lane Crawford: there are cosmetics from well-known brands: DKNY, BOSS, ESTEELAUDER, LC, SK-II, Fan Zhengmei. All well-known brands are available. I bought a set of ESTEELAUDER for only 1,570 Hong Kong dollars. It cost 600 yuan more to buy it in the mainland. The best deal is that it comes with a seven-piece set: mascara, eye cream, lip gloss, body cream, face slimming toner, night cream, and essence cream. , I heard it is worth more than 600 yuan. Even if Wuhan holds large-scale events, the things given away are just ordinary stuff. I bought a 50ml bottle of DKNY men's perfume for 395 Hong Kong dollars and received an original DKNY keychain as a gift. The best one is Clarins' hydrating mask 50ml for 240 Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland price is 340 yuan. I also have to mention Watsons on the first floor. There are many good things in there. Purchase: Neutrogena facial mask for 68 yuan for a 6-piece pack, Suitang shampoo for 45 yuan, conditioner for 45 yuan, and L'Oreal men's cleansing balm for 110 yuan. L'Oreal waterproof hair cleansing cream 68 yuan. After a preliminary stroll, it was already 8pm, and we felt very hungry at this time, so we went to the Genki Sushi restaurant on the first floor of the annex. The sushi there was delicious and cheap. Salmon sushi only costs 9 yuan, and arctic clam sushi only costs 9 yuan. 9 yuan, after a crazy meal, the checkout was 119 yuan, which is really cheap. After eating, we started shopping for clothes. Times Square is very big. If you want to visit every store, it will take at least one day. In order to ensure our physical strength for the next day, we only browsed some brands that we needed to buy, and finally bought a pair. The scarf from DKNY is 990 Hong Kong dollars. The most annoying thing is that the pair of DKNY sneakers I just bought in the mainland are only 750 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and 1100 yuan in the mainland. Later, when I came back and went to the counter, I found that the scarf I bought was not available in the mainland. This will give you a balance in your mind. After walking around until 10 o'clock in the evening, I was already exhausted, so I took the results back to the hotel.
The next day, we took the Disney special train to the entrance of the park at nine o'clock in the morning. There were not many people, but there were queues at every entrance. We bought our tickets from the tour group in advance. It's cost-effective and convenient. There is a very beautiful fountain at the entrance. Of course, you can take pictures freely. However, I would like to remind everyone that there are staff who will check your backpack when you enter the door. I have read a lot of travel notes before. Speaking of which, you are not allowed to bring water inside, only bottles. However, we still put two bottles of water in our backpacks with the mentality of giving it a try that day. The staff did not check much and we got through by luck. After entering the door, we must first go to the information office to collect it. For maps, program lists and timetables, be sure to check the program schedule first, because some shows only open two performances a day. If you miss the time, you will not be able to watch it. I think the best show is the Disney Theater, and the others The Lion King performances are all in English and I can’t quite understand them. There is also a night roller coaster which is quite interesting. I can’t remember the name clearly but I picked one myself. The whole process takes place in the dark night and there are stars in the sky. The lights make it feel like playing in space. Of course, the carousel is also something I have loved for a long time. Riding on the horse reminds me of the MTV song in the Starlight Amusement Park. It is really good, and I have played it twice. In the amusement park Food is very expensive, but we had to eat. We bought a bowl of Japanese ramen for HKD 55 per person, and it tasted good. We visited the entire park at around 8pm because we didn’t want to miss the evening fireworks show at 7pm. The fireworks show was performed to the music of each piece of Disney fairy tales. It felt really good. Special reminder: souvenirs in Disney are very expensive, but they all look very cute. I couldn't resist the temptation and bought two couple cups for 30/ Each one costs 45 yuan for a keychain and 100 Hong Kong dollars for a Mickey Mouse umbrella (it started to rain when we first arrived). We returned to Dunhuang Road in the evening and found a restaurant, ordered four dishes and had a full meal. What’s even better is that we also bought a lot of snacks from Youyin Liangpin, which is much cheaper than in the mainland. Generally, we only need to buy one It’s a great deal to get one pound for a pound. Almonds and cashews are my most recommended ones and they taste great!
On the third day, I arrived at Ocean Park in Hong Kong at around 10 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't wait to go directly to the free cable car. There was already a long queue and I waited for about half an hour before I got on the cable car. , the distance of the cable car in Ocean Park is longer than ordinary ones, and it is between two big mountains with the sea below. It feels really good! Oh, by the way, you can also see the mansion halfway up the mountain while riding the cable car. Each building has a swimming pool, just like what you see on TV. We quickly arrived at the end of the cable car and followed the path to the dolphin show venue. There was a show at 11 o'clock, so we found a seat at the front. Next, several foreign tourists danced to the music of several jazz drummers in the venue. Suddenly, I had the urge to dance. The dolphin show started soon, and the sea lion show was also very exciting. The electric amusement area To be honest, some of the amusement facilities inside are not as fun as Happy Valley, so everyone should go there with a normal mind. In the afternoon, we left Ocean Park on time at five o'clock. Then, my cousin and I were going to buy the most important things. My cousin Two days before the wedding, I had my eye on a set of gold bracelets from Chow Tai Fook, and later I bought them from a family in Tsim Sha Tsui for 12,000 yuan. If I bought them locally, it would have cost around 18,000 yuan. At that time, Chow Tai Fook's wages were 40% off, and Calculated, it is almost equivalent to 168 yuan per gram. I finally wanted to go to Harbor City to buy LV bags. Harbor City, which I arrived at 8 o'clock, is simply a big word to describe. If you want to go shopping, it will take almost a day. Many top brands, the final gain: a 30-year-old lady's cross bag: 4800 yuan, a men's bag: 8800.
Finally, the trip to Hong Kong ended and I took the subway back to Shenzhen in the evening. This was my first time I am writing this once. If there is any room for improvement, I hope you will give me more opinions. Thank you! I also wish you a happy time in Hong Kong!
