Hong Kong One Day City Walk - A 20,000-step journey with a guide
Prepare in advance:
1. Get an Octopus card (applicable for all transportation and most shopping, very convenient!) But it's not mandatory, you can use the wx ride code to travel everywhere.
2. Exchange for Hong Kong dollars according to personal spending (many small shops really only accept HKD, if you plan to visit Lung Shing Dispensary, HKD is a must)
I usually exchange at the border, and if there's any leftover, I can exchange it back.
3. Hong Kong and Macau pass.
4. Power bank
5. Google Maps
6. Hong Kong one-day data SIM card (easily purchased online, very cheap and I find it quite useful, there's basically always signal)

Some small suggestions:
1. Most places in Hong Kong do not have seating, be prepared for a lot of walking and wear the most comfortable shoes 👟
2. For those who want to take photos and check in, please note ⚠️ most popular photo spots are crowded, it's recommended to find your own angles to avoid the crowd, otherwise, it's really a waste of time
This is the area where you can stroll along Nathan Road to enjoy high end shopping, visit peaceful Kowloon Park and walk along the Avenue of Stars to view the majestic HK skyline.
