GateFree Tip:
The best months to visit Hong Kong are October, November and December, followed by March and April.
In Hong Kong, the current currency is the HONG KONG DOLLAR, yen are not always accepted
ALWAYS CARRY SOME CASH WITH YOU
Unlike mainland China, in Hong Kong you don't pay for everything with WeChat and Alipay; in fact, payment cards and cash are still indispensable
CHECK THE QUEUE AT THE RESTAURANT
Don't assume that there will be a table available at the restaurant you want to go to; at some places, the lines could last for hours
