A must-read guide for a one-day trip to Hong Kong, perfect for lazy travelers!

This guide includes my recommendations, things to avoid, and some important tips. If you're planning a trip to Hong Kong, read carefully and save this post! I hope it helps! • What to wear The temperature difference between day and night in Hong Kong is manageable. I wore a camisole with a light jacket. It was just right during the day and a little chilly at night, but bearable. So, don't overdress, or you'll be stuck carrying a heavy jacket all day. I recommend wearing brightly colored clothes for more vibrant photos with that Hong Kong vibe. • Food I had breakfast at the hotel before heading out, so I wasn't too hungry. I tried Jollibee, which a friend highly recommended, saying the fried chicken with their special sauce is delicious. I also had the soft-serve ice cream and Jumbo Orange ice cream float from Mister Softee. But I thought both were just okay, nothing particularly amazing. If you have enough time, you should try the local street food. It's a must-try experience. For example, egg waffles, fish balls, cart noodles, pineapple buns, and shark fin soup. • Accommodation I took a ferry from Shekou, Shenzhen, to Hong Kong on Saturday. It wasn't crowded at all. I made it a day trip and stayed near the Shekou Ferry Terminal on Friday and Saturday nights. Both hotels I stayed at offered great value and were conveniently located near the terminal. If you're interested, you can check out my dedicated notes on my homepage. • Transportation The subway is fast and convenient, but a bit expensive. Taxis in Hong Kong are convenient but also not cheap, and they charge extra for large luggage. Bus stop signs are not easy to understand, and short trips aren't cost-effective. Trams cost a flat rate of HK$3. They're slow and don't announce stops, but you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Choose the transportation that best suits your itinerary. Vehicles in Hong Kong drive on the left, opposite to mainland China. When crossing the road, always look right first, then left. At intersections without traffic lights, be sure to yield to vehicles. Hong Kong is very clean because littering is punishable by a fine. Eating, drinking, playing music aloud, and sitting on the floor on the subway are also subject to fines. No need to exchange for cash. I paid for my subway rides and meals with my phone. The cost is directly deducted based on the current exchange rate, which is very convenient. - Do you have any food recommendations or suggestions for fun and photogenic places? My trip was short, and I had to skip many places I wanted to visit. I'll definitely go back next time!
