10 insider tips to make the most out of the trip to Hong Kong
1. Right timing saves a lot of headaches.
Hong Kong is a business city buzzing with travellers coming to have fun and even some visiting for business purposes. Holidays and festive days such as Christmas, New Year and summertime can be chaotic, filling the city with dozens of travellers each day. There wouldn’t be a space to walk around major tourist attractions such as Disneyland, Victoria Peak or even local streets. So, try to avoid major festivals and look for pleasant weather conditions to enjoy. Visit this city during shoulder seasons from March to April or during September and October. By availing Hong Kong tour packages from Delhi, you can also get cheaper hotel rates and flight tickets too.
2. Pre-register visa/entry (PAR) right away
If you are an Indian travelling to this special city, that short stay is recommended because you can easily take advantage of free pre-arrival registration. This registration lasts for two weeks, and as soon as you book our Hong Kong tour packages, you ensure a hassle-free trip. This small step saves your time and boarding pass hassle without any charges.
3. Prioritise transit-friendly stays
Unlike many cities, Hong Kong has an excellent public transportation system that is reliable as well as affordable. You can pick any hotel near those metro stations to visit any place you like without spending extra on taxis and personal vehicles. In our package, you can ask for a list that includes all the places you can visit in Hong Kong and all the arrangements we can provide to save your fares and time. Plus, riding smart not only helps you explore all the places within time but also budget.
4. Keep some free slots for spontaneity
While booking a tour package, make sure you have everything, including the things you love, as without them it would be a timetable, not a vacation. Go to some unplanned alleyways, streets, dining areas, or markets, or take a stroll just for fun. Make sure to leave some unplanned hours to explore and wander.
5. Don’t miss local eats – ditch the tourist buffet.
Time to explore some local cuisines and homes filled with aromas. Make some local friends who can help you truly relish the flavours of the city. Try some wonton noodles and soup made from scratch or pineapple buns, not to save some pennies but to feed the soul.
6. Grab an Octopus card for discounts and unbeatable offers.
To explore the city and to win some discount, make sure to pick a magic key – an Octopus card. A card that works in every shop, bus station, ferry and even convenience store. A quick top-up and tap in to travel cash-free and to avail of some great offers.
7. Mix popular areas with hidden gems
Whether you are booking a customised Hong Kong tour package or getting a generic one, make sure to add iconic locations as well as lesser-known spots. You don’t want to be lost in a crowd while being bored and having no fun. So add both Victoria Peak and local alleyways together for a genuine experience.
8. Watch the weather and pack smart
Before you pack your bags, make sure to get all the essentials according to the weather. You don’t want to sweat in the summer sun or freeze in the cold. So pack light for every type of weather, and don’t forget to get breathable clothes along with aesthetic ones. A charger, cable, USB, flashlight and power bank are necessary to avoid any discomfort.
9. Learn basic etiquette and phrases for communication
Hong Kong has many travellers from around the world, so don’t worry about any language barriers or communication problems. But it’s always recommended to learn some basic phrases and greetings to interact with the crowd. Respecting local customs and learning about them could come in handy anytime.
10. Double-check everything before you board.
Lastly, before you commence your exciting vacation, make sure to get all the necessary prints, identification, flight and hotel timings, check-in inclusions and meal plans, and get to know about charges and cancellation policies beforehand. Along with that, check your passport validity and make sure there are no issues before you set foot in another country.
