1. Where is the most convenient place to go through customs? How long does it usually take?

Usually from Luohu Port, because you can get on the subway directly there, and it takes up to half an hour to successfully pass the L visa for a group. It is recommended to recharge your Octopus, which can be refunded after leaving the port.

2. My credit card is UnionPay, can I use my card to make purchases? How much does it cost to exchange for Hong Kong dollars?

Of course you can, and you can also enjoy discounts. Food, clothing, housing and transportation in Hong Kong are relatively expensive, and many delicious snacks are available on the streets, so you still need to bring enough cash. 80 RMB can be exchanged for about 100 Hong Kong dollars.

3. Which port is easier to check when returning to Shenzhen? I may buy a lot of things. Don’t want to be fined for paying taxes.

I often travel between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, at least at Luohu Port I have never seen any unpacking and inspection. Because there were so many people, there was no time to check.

Go to Luo Wu Port and get on the subway. Remember to buy an Octopus (***150 yuan, 50 yuan deposit, 100 yuan top-up) after passing the customs, and then take the subway line from Luo Wu to Hung Hom. The best route from Luo Wu to Sheung Shui is It’s NT$20 more expensive (it’s a little bit of a journey).
