Tips for the trip to Hong Kong

It is true that in Hong Kong the English heritage is very strong and its influence is noticeable in all aspects of society, but it should not be assumed that the entire population speaks English. In the main shops, hotels, hostels, restaurants and with the middle and upper / middle class there will be no problem to communicate in English, but it may be that when dealing with other people, they only speak Cantonese Chinese. Communication with taxi drivers is especially difficult. It is a good idea to take a notebook or paper and pencil to write the addresses or, if someone can write the destination address in Chinese characters, even better.

Be careful with the weather in the summer. At this time, the humidity and heat can be very intense and it is not uncommon for there to be strong storms, so it is never a bad thing to wear a raincoat in your suitcase or, at least, to have enough clothes to change after a heavy downpour. Although in the summer it is combined with heat and its influence is extreme, the level of humidity is very high throughout the year.

There is a very unhealthy habit of putting the air conditioning in public places with great power during the hot months. This leads to the transition from extreme heat to cold situations in a matter of a few seconds, with the risk of colds that this entails. Shops, office buildings, shopping centers or even subway cars are not spared this trend. It may seem an exaggerated recommendation to have to wear something long sleeves when the outside temperature is above 35 degrees, but it really does not hurt to keep something to protect yourself from the infamous air conditioning.

In Hong Kong there are some activities that perhaps do not fall within the most frequent for the tourist, but that those who have passed through them strongly recommend. On the one hand, if you have the opportunity, attend horse races at night, where a lot of money moves in betting and part of the local high society congregates. On the other hand, massage parlors are also highly recommended (in the proper sense of the term, it is understood). If you are a beginner who wants to gamble, playing in Hong Kong casinos is less recommended unless you have unlimited funds. It would be better if you play on virtual places like www.onlinecasinodeutschland.com.de.

When preparing for any trip outside Hong Kong, it is necessary to know very well if we need a visa to the destination we are going to and, in that case, what type of visa we have. In the case of arriving from the People’s Republic of China and wanting to return to this country, it is totally necessary to have a visa for double multiple payment or, if not, it will be necessary to buy another visa. To visit Shenzhen there is a special visa valid for this area, but it is better to check beforehand, since the legislation on this and the conditions are changing. To travel to Macao, a passport is enough.
