Cheap way from Nanjing to HK via KCR
By MUDDIEDKNEES | 4/13/2008 12:24:10 AM

The goal was to find the cheapest way to go to Hong Kong from Nanjing and spend all the money we save on clothes. Me and my wife took this trip December 2007.

We flew from Nanjing to Guangzhou, booking highly discounted tickets via Elong.net. The tickets cost us around RMB1800 roundtrip for two people. Then we took the KCR train to HK. KCR tickets cost us RMB85 per person each way, so that was 380 roundtrip total for two.

We stayed at the Cosmic Guest House in Nathan Rd. It was very cheap and small, but clean. The building, Mirador Mansion, was a little creepy though. The hotel cost us RMB500 for three nights. Not bad for a hotel in a nice area, right next to the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. Call +852 2369 6669 to book or go to LonelyPlanet.com.

If you like numbers, the trip cost us less than RMB3000 for two people. Note that food can be expensive in Hong Kong. To go cheap, go fast food. Save money for the best part--shopping. We spent the rest of our budget on clothes, shoes, and a cool cell phone.

An important tip for mainland China residents: don't change your shopping money to HK$. You can pay for almost anything using your UnionPay debit card. You won't get charged for anything and you'll get a much better exchange rate than what any of the HK money changers can offer.

Taxi Drivers / Electrical Products / RIPOFF
By UNHAPPYCUSTOMER | 8/8/2007 12:36:33 PM

We went to Hong on the 20th of July. After a long flight there from the UK we were exhausted.

We did not arrange for anyone to collect us at the airport so relied on a taxi to take us to our hotel.

At the airport having gone through customs we was approached by a man who asked if u needed a taxi. We took him up on the offer and later released that we were taken for a ride. He took us to the Taxi which was unmarked and drove us to our hotel. He charged us HK$600 for the journey and we later found the that journey should have cost us only 220HK$ what a ripoff. Anyone thinking of going to Hong Kong should use the Red Taxis. note if u ask for a receipt they will charge you more.

Also another point to be aware many shops display products without prices BE AWARE many shops will charge 2 to 3 times as much. I purchased some Nun Chucks for a Nintendo and found I have paid 4 times the price in the UK.

When I had tried to take the Nun Chucks back to the shop they refused to refund me...

In addition to the above I had purchased some MP4 Players and USB Flash disk which turned out to be faulty.

I dont think I will Visit Hong Kong Again.
