Essential Travel Tips
Purchase an Octopus Card upon arrival for seamless travel on MTR, buses, trams, and even some convenience stores. It's incredibly convenient.
Dress in layers. Hong Kong's weather can be humid, and air conditioning indoors can be quite strong.
Hong Kong is generally safe, but always be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded markets. Keep an eye on your belongings.
Learn a few basic Cantonese phrases like 'M'goi' (excuse me/thank you) and 'Doh jeh' (thank you for a gift or service) – locals appreciate the effort.
Tipping is not customary in casual eateries, but a 10% service charge is often added to bills in more upscale restaurants.
