First of all, accommodation in Hong Kong is very expensive, and consumption in all aspects is also high. If you are a poor traveler, then the funds must be planned. If money is not a problem, it is easy to say .. O(∩_∩)O Because I am a poor student party, I can't afford to sleep in a tent in HKU. .
The transportation is very convenient and the subway extends in all directions. It is suggested to buy a magnetic card called Octopus, which can be swiped in all aspects of consumption, which is super convenient. In addition, there is a ferry from Macau to Hong Kong at a price of about 150 RMB. There is also a helicopter, which looks expensive. . Don't even think about it. Awkward.
Let me tell you some details. . .
traffic
When you leave the customs and the airport, you will first see a booth of the Hong Kong Tourism Bureau, which contains a lot of information. The most useful one is the map of Hong Kong, which is necessary for shopping in Hong Kong.
Then I saw the counter selling Airport Express and Octopus (Yuan). There are several kinds of Octopus: one is to recharge the card in full, how much it costs to take the subway, and the rest can be refunded, but generally the handling fee of 7 yuan needs to be deducted; Second, 220 yuan (3-day unlimited subway and 1 airport express) with 50 yuan deposit can be refunded. If you want to use it to take the bus, you need to recharge it, so you can save change when you take the bus, because the bus doesn't give change, so use 1 airport express when you leave Hong Kong; The third is 300 yuan (3 days without subway and 2 airport express lines); Fourth, unlimited subway trips a day. In addition, it should be noted that 1 day is unlimited within 24 hours after service, and 3 days is unlimited within 72 hours after service, no matter what day. Ordinary octopus is the most suitable, and you can eat snacks by bus or subway.
If you don't buy the 300 yuan package, there are several options to go to the hotel: First, you can get a discount if you buy the airport express alone (100 people, 160/2 people, 240/4 people); Second, you can take the vitality bus directly to the hotel, which is suitable for people who come to Hong Kong for the first time and have a weak sense of direction, so as not to find a hotel; Third, you can take the bus to the city gate (S 1, 3.5 per person), and then take the subway to the hotel.
Reference of transportation cost: the first subway station is 3.8HKD (some subway stations can take one photo at a discount), crossing the sea is 9HKD, and the Star Ferry is divided into two floors, the upper floor is 2.2HKD, and the lower floor is 1.7HKD. I suggest you take the upper floor, so that you can have a look at the "scenery of Victoria Harbour" and save money. The upper deck is more expensive, only 2.2 Hong Kong dollars.
When the Octopus card is put into the entrance machine, the display balance is 0. Please charge it. It doesn't matter. Most tourists have Octopus cards like this. You need octopus to get in and out of the subway. The hard card is placed on the sensor, and the soft card is inserted from the slot and will come out from the front. Just swipe your card at the front door when you get on the bus. You don't need anything when you get on the bus. Just get off the front door and brush it! Buses, ferries and cars are all paid at the place where the card is swiped. You don't need change, you should have it ready before you get on the bus!
If the Octopus card says "Please go to the customer service center in case of failure", you can only go to the customer service center, which is available at every station.
No matter the subway or the train, you have to go to the ticket vending machine to buy tickets. Select the car type first, then the starting station, prompting you to put money in. The change will fall with the ticket.
There are also two special means of transportation in Hong Kong, one is Dangdang, and the other is the peak cable car. Pay special attention to riding in Hong Kong. Many buses in Hong Kong only swipe their cards for the last time. His calculation method is based on the price that you always get off at the terminal by default when you arrive at the station.
residence
In view of the high taxi fare in Hong Kong, it is recommended to live near the subway station. Accommodation in Hong Kong is divided into hotels and guesthouses. Hong Kong is an inch of land and gold, and hotels and hotel rooms are not big.
When tourists travel in Hong Kong, they must first solve the accommodation problem before going to Hong Kong. Before leaving, it is recommended to go to Taobao's "Free Travel" store to see the crown reputation seller. Booking Hong Kong and Macao hotels on Taobao is the same as buying other things on Taobao. Alipay pays first, and then comes back to confirm the receipt after staying in the hotel, which is safe and secure. Super luxury five-star hotel from 250 yuan to Hongkong, make a reservation immediately and confirm it immediately. One-stop booking of hotels, low-cost hotels, scenic spots tickets, transportation cards, telephone cards, free shopping in Hong Kong and Macao and supporting tourism products. (Shenzhen Airport-Kowloon City, Hong Kong) Hong Kong Stock Connect bus ticket to 75 yuan (one-way) (retail price 100 yuan), Hong Kong L sign back to 50 yuan/person, Ocean Park ticket 169 yuan (HK$ 250 at the entrance), and Hong Kong Disneyland ticket as long as HK$ 264 (HK$ 350 at the entrance), all of which are specially booked, affordable and worry-free. The Taobao shop recommended here is called "Free Travel", which specializes in booking tickets for hotels in Hong Kong and Macao and scenic spots in Hong Kong. The evaluation is very good and very awesome.

In macau. . . .
One. Actually, it can be done in one day. Quite small.
Although Macao is a small city, it still needs to go further by car in a short time. Is there any way to take a comfortable air-conditioned bus without spending money?
This is the advantage of Macao. There are many casinos and fierce competition. In order to attract gamblers, all major casinos have free buses to pick up guests at the gate. So free transportation is to let you take the free bus of the casino, in a parking lot on the left side of the exit.
The free car in the big casino usually comes every 15 minutes. Don't wait too long. Note: When you get on the bus, don't ask the way to a scenic spot, which will expose you as a car robber and attract your attention. Like other gamblers, you just ask how to get to a hotel or casino.
Since the main casinos in Macau are all over the bustling areas of Macau Peninsula and Taipa Island, you can always find free buses to casinos near your destination.
If you go to the sightseeing tower and the generation near the old city, you can take the free bus from the Portuguese casino. If you go to the airport or Taipa Island or Guanye Old Street, you can take the free bus from the Venetian Hotel. If you want to go to the mage temple, you can take a free bus near the pier. Return or transfer to a farther place, you can also use the gateway or dock as a transfer station. I first took a bus from the Lisboa Casino to the center of Macau Island.
Second, "traveling" costs nothing.
The vicinity of the Portuguese casino itself is a place where entertainment is concentrated. There are several casino hotels of different shapes here.
Visiting luxury hotels is also a major feature of Macao tourism, with comfortable environment and no need to spend money. The new Lisboa Hotel is separated from the old hotel by only one road. This is also the favorite place for foreign tourists to hang around. Although some people will make a fortune in Macau casinos, tourists are not advised to take part in gambling when they travel to 40 countries, because the ultimate winner is always the banker.
There are also many modern scenic tours outside the casino. Of course, the most distinctive feature of Macao is Portuguese style, and it doesn't have to cost money to understand these. Not far from the west of the Portuguese casino, you can see the Portuguese-style old street. The southern European buildings here are still well preserved, and the old buildings in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau are the most concentrated. Locals call it "Fountain". This area is also the most concentrated tourist spot for foreign tourists.
There are many tourist attractions in Macao that do not need to buy tickets. For example, the bus, a landmark attraction in Macao, does not need to spend extra money. In addition, Ruan Tsai Rua do Cunha is also a place to experience Macao's characteristics.
Third, "eating" costs nothing.
It sounds difficult, but if you really want to eat delicious meat, you can do it without spending money, begging or starving.
On the narrow street leading to the March 8th, there are various food stores on both sides of the road, including Macao specialty beef jerky, dried pork and almond cakes. Every store puts its own products on the street for tourists who drive by to taste.
Macao merchants will not just insert a toothpick for you to try, as mainland merchants do. They all cut out a long strip with scissors for you to eat, and those snacks are also a whole piece for you to try. Every time you pass by, someone pulls you to try beef jerky, mutton jerky, dried pork and various snacks. If you are not satisfied, you will not be angry.
The wages of Hong Kong and Macao people are more than three times higher than those of mainlanders, and the price of natural diet is much higher. If you try all the way, the money for this meal will really be saved.
In Macau, you can find ways to eat and drink for free. Find any casino. Because in the casino, there are waiters carrying all kinds of free drinks, you just have to ask them.
Fourth, "living" costs nothing.
In Macau's casinos, many gamblers gamble all night, and many tourists watch thrillers, which can also stimulate them all night. If you want to find a way to spend the night for free, you can follow suit. If you are sleepy, you can also spend the night on the sofa nearby.
However, in addition to abusing or indulging yourself in hotel casinos, it is also a good choice to exchange houses with donkey friends for free accommodation. In return, the donkey friend will visit you and you will provide him with a room for free.
Dasanba memorial archway
One of the most familiar signs in Macao is also an excellent scenic spot for taking souvenir photos. St Paul's archway is actually the front wall of the former Church of Notre Dame. Eastern and Western architectural styles are mixed together, especially the relief on the archway is unique and worth appreciating.
Largo do cenado
This pavilion used to be called Fountain. The most rare thing is that there are two or three floors of Chinese and Western houses, and there are also Chinese temples such as Rose Hall, Kindhearted Hall, Civil Affairs Department Building and Sanjiehui. Combined with the rhythm of modern life, ancient buildings and modern atmosphere can maintain harmony, and the blending of Chinese and western cultures is a unique feature of Macao.
Magemiao
The front of the Mage Temple is the place where the Portuguese first landed in Macao, and it is the starting point for the integration of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. The Portuguese gravel in front of the Master's Temple is in sharp contrast with the China design of the Master's Temple, which just embodies the characteristics of blending Chinese and Western. Don't miss taking photos as a souvenir. When you enter the temple, you can apply for a visa, buy amulets and enjoy the stone carvings all over the temple.
Montfort
Five minutes' walk from the side of the bus is the big battery, where you can see rows of retired big iron cannons, blowing at the battery and watching the street view of Macao.
Dangzaiwu Museum
"Dragon Ring" is the old name of the Prince, and "Portuguese rhyme" refers to the Portuguese architectural style here and the scenery along the Prince's seaside highway. The whole scenic spot includes five Portuguese-style houses, Camo church, library and two small parks on the seaside road. Especially the Portuguese-style buildings on the seaside road, these five green villas are important cultural relics in Taipa and one of the most representative scenic spots in Macao.

Qingzhou primitive life
====
There are stories in every corner of Macao, which is really a meaningful city. Unexpectedly, there is another place in Macao that has preserved the most primitive living conditions for many years, and that is the Green Island. Green Island is a place where ordinary tourists don't go, and even local people may not know where it is. In fact, it is located in the north of Macao, near Guanzha in Zhuhai. This used to be a place where new immigrants lived. Yixiu, who once lived here, said to us, "My parents are new immigrants from Taishan. I also lived in these iron houses when I was a child, but my hometown was destroyed by a fire when I was in kindergarten. " There are only a few iron houses left in Qingzhou, but they will all be demolished soon.
"Liu Ji is most famous for fishing noodles. The coarse noodles are refreshing, and the tender noodles are soft and smooth. It can be served with pork chops and chicken chops. " What Macao does best is actually not pork buns. This kind of shredded chicken and egg package will definitely not be eaten outside! "The wife of shop-owner is full of momentum, serving quickly and accurately, and every dish is full of weight, and the dishes are not soft.
The cat space in the front shop and the back room is located at a corner of the lower ring district, where there are many high-end houses. About 30 square meters of underground activity space is available for tourists to visit cats, and the attic upstairs is occupied by themselves.
