Useful Tidbits When Traveling To Hong Kong

However, organizing your trip in such a way that you are able to visit all the destinations you are curious about and indulge in all the scrumptious delicacies you have heard about is worth all the planning. Hong Kong is the perfect place to try something new and escape from the norm of your everyday life.

Once you arrive in Hong Kong it is important to know about the types of transportation that is available to tourists. Although the city has a modern public transport system, one of the cheapest ways to get to get across the harbour is by boat. This is not only faster than taking a taxi but it also allows you to sight see while traveling to the next location. Another option for transportation is the Underground Lines. These trains operate from 6am to 12:30am. Everything from purchasing the tickets to figuring out which train to board is a breeze. Then of course there are the taxis. These can get a bit pricey depending on what time of day it is so it would be best to stick to the other two options if possible.

Hong Kong is fairly pricey in terms of accommodations and enjoying drinks at their local bars. However, you can splurge on your hotel room and get fabulous drinks at the best bars but save on food by indulging in Hong Kongs cheap and delicious street food. Unlike other countries, tipping is not expected in Hong Kong. Many establishments will add a 10% service charge when you ask for your bill. That service charge usually acts as the tip as this goes to the employees that served you.

Shopping is popular whenever one goes on vacation. If you are looking for electronics then Asia is the best place to score a deal. Expect to save up to 15% when shopping for electronic items in Hong Kong. Be aware that there is no sales tax and that if you stumble upon stores with signs claiming that their store offers tax free goods it is no different from any other store. Although prices are cheap it is always best to haggle to get the best deal possible
