I like Hong Kong films, Stephen Chow and Chow Yun Fat since I was a child, and I am full of yearning for various scenes in the movies. I've always wanted to experience it for myself 20 18 I really went and stayed for 7 days, and I came to a conclusion: this is not a place for the poor!
Next, let me share with you what I saw and felt in Hong Kong.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, the airport was very big and luxurious, but after I left the airport, my first impression of Hong Kong was not very good. In front of my eyes is a dilapidated house. Although it's not in disrepair, it's been a few years at first glance. Signs on both sides of the street were packed one after another. Maybe this is the feeling of the old city.
I didn't drive, didn't join a group, and played with two friends alone. By the time we arrived in Hong Kong, it was already evening. Out of the airport, I called a taxi and went to a hotel in Kowloon City. I don't think the distance is very far, but the price after arrival is 300 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 250 yuan when converted into RMB. This is the first time I feel that taking a taxi is expensive.
It is obvious that the meter only costs more than 280 yuan, but the driver wants 300 yuan. When I asked, I found that there was also a baggage charge in the trunk, and I felt trapped in an instant.
After arriving at the hotel, we all found our own rooms. A room is 600 yuan, and I was dumbfounded after entering the door. I thought 600 yuan must be a big and luxurious room, but it turned out to be a very small room. It's no different from a small hotel except that it's decorated better, but I don't mind. After all, Hong Kong is a high-cost place, and I live alone, so I don't have to care too much.
Hong Kong traffic taxis are divided into three colors in Hong Kong, namely red, blue and green. It must be noted that different taxis go to different places.
If you want to play in the New Territories, you must take a green taxi. If you want to go to Lantau Island, you must take a blue taxi, and a red taxi is more powerful. As long as the money is in place, all of Hong Kong can take you there.
I also found a problem when I took the bus. The mode of transportation in Hong Kong is very similar to that in foreign countries. They are all retrograde, that is, driving on the left and driving on the right. This mode of transportation makes me very uncomfortable. I always feel that I am retrograde, which is very dangerous. Besides, the driver drives faster and I feel carsick. I never get carsick. I feel very uncomfortable.
Not only do vehicles drive in the opposite direction, but pedestrians also walk in the opposite direction, all driving on the left, which also makes me very uncomfortable.
Actually, the traffic in Hong Kong is very convenient. In addition to buses and subways, there are ancient trams, which are the only means of transportation in old Hong Kong, as seen in the movies. However, these cars have been upgraded. Although it is a tram, it is a pity to lose the traditional retro feeling.
Subway is not cheap at all. A trip to 5 yuan1feels expensive, but it's still much cheaper than taking a taxi.
Never eat in the subway, or you may face a fine of 2000 yuan.
It can't be said that there are luxury cars everywhere, but there are really many luxury cars, one passing by, and some luxury cars are still carrying several beautiful women, which makes people sigh. It's good to have money!
Cars walk in an orderly way on the road, and people walk in an orderly way. There will definitely be a queue when you take the subway. This is understandable, but when they take the supermarket elevator, they will also line up. Everyone will stand on the right. If someone encounters an emergency, they will pass quickly from the left. This is good, a bit like Japan.
After Hong Kong cuisine learned the traffic rules, we began to go out and formally embarked on a tour, which was followed by a moment of spending money like water. ...
1 As soon as we got up in the morning, we went to a good morning tea shop for dinner. Three people eat a lot. Although they had a good appetite in the morning, they still ate a lot. After checkout, it is 580 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to RMB 470 yuan, per capita 160. To tell the truth, we were all a little dumbfounded when we checked out, but there was nothing we could do.
At lunch, we went to a small shop, which clearly marked the price and the price was reasonable. We didn't eat stir-fry, but all we ate was covered rice, but we learned a little knowledge when we ate, such as "double buckle", which means less food, but a small portion, and "topping" means more food, but a large portion.
In the evening, we found a cheap Michelin restaurant. Maybe the star rating is not enough, so it is not very luxurious, but the food inside is delicious and the price is reasonable, per capita 100 yuan.
I like to drink a bottle of coke for 3 yuan, but in Hong Kong, it makes me feel slaughtered. There is a bottle of Coke from 5 yuan in the restaurant, a bottle of Coke from 6 yuan in the roadside stall, a bottle of Coke from 7 yuan in the vending machine and a bottle of Coke from 9 yuan in the convenience store. I really don't understand what this situation is. Obviously, it's all the same coke. Why is the gap so big?
The eating time of Hong Kong people is different from ours. The peak time of breakfast is 9- 1 1, the peak time of lunch is 1-2, and the peak time of dinner is 7-8, which is always a little later than us. So according to our normal meal time, we won't meet the rush hour and can eat happily. Of course, in the tourist season, or in the online celebrity restaurant, we will still eat.
Hong Kong Disneyland is the first Disney in China. It is very big, and there are many interesting projects in it. No matter you are an adult or a child, you can find something suitable for you in it. It is not a problem to have fun all day.
There are not only many amusement facilities in Ocean Park, but also a skyscraper that goes straight into the sky like a golden hoop. Very spectacular, with all kinds of marine life inside. If you are interested in the ocean or take care of children, you must go here.
Hong Kong itself is a shopping center, while Kowloon is the center of the shopping center, and Tsim Sha Tsui is the center of the shopping center, which is the real core area. Besides, Tsim Sha Tsui often appears in Hong Kong movies, which is very charming. I must go.
Note that this is not Pingdingshan in Henan, but Taiping Mountain in Hong Kong. Although it is only 500 meters high, it is the highest place in Hong Kong. You can see the whole picture of Hong Kong here, whether it is day or night, you can see the most complete and beautiful Hong Kong.
The most beautiful time in Victoria Harbour is at night, not a light show, but it is better than a light show. The most beautiful night scene in Hong Kong is probably here. If you like taking pictures, you must come to Victoria Harbour.
At first, I played humble abode in Hong Kong by myself, but I didn't understand all the rules in Hong Kong, so I made a lot of jokes and delayed a lot of time. On the third night, we invited a tour guide to take us to Hong Kong.
The tour guide is from Henan. He said that he stayed in Hong Kong for 20 years and didn't buy a house until 20 15, with a loan of nearly 8 million. He bought a small house of 90 square meters and paid tens of thousands of dollars every month. It really shocked me.
Well, he spent more than10 million to buy a small house of 90 square meters. The whole family lives in such a small place and has such great financial pressure every month. Life is really hard, but he is very proud, saying that he has become a successful person, living better than most people, and quite a few people live in a small house of 20 square meters, and their families live together.
I didn't believe it at first, but he showed me the small house where he used to live. I totally believe it. There is no place to live in the room, and three people are crowded in the narrow space. I can't believe how he persisted. He said that there are still many people living in such places.
In fact, the income of Hong Kong people is very high. The salary of ordinary security guards can exceed 10,000, the income of ordinary workers can exceed 10,000, and the salary of college students is low10.5 million. If he works better, he can get 30 thousand yuan. The tour guide said that his monthly income is close to 50,000, but the pressure of life is still great. After paying off the mortgage, his children will have no money as soon as their tuition fees are paid, and he still needs to rely on his wife to support him.
The children of tour guides attend two kindergartens at the same time and pay double tuition fees. The tour guide said that this situation is very common in Hong Kong, in order to make children grow up faster and more comprehensively. I feel sorry for the children in Hong Kong. ...
The tour guide told me that only four kinds of people can stay and live in Hong Kong. ...
Note 1, Hong Kong is a place with strict management, such as smoking. It is forbidden to smoke in places where smoking is not allowed, otherwise you may face a fine of HK$ 5,000. Smoking is punished so much, but it is still a big loss, so you need to pay attention.
2. There is a campus card that can be swiped everywhere in the school, and there is also a Hong Kong card that can be swiped by car, by eating, by shopping in the supermarket, and by almost any kind of consumption. If you can get a card, it will be very convenient.
There is no fork in instant noodles in Hong Kong, so you need to bring your own. Don't ask me how I know, it's all tears.
4, brand-name bags, cosmetics, luxury goods are very cheap, a little cheaper, so we must seize the opportunity to go, buy more and use it slowly.
5. Hong Kong flushes toilets with seawater. The toilet is full of seawater. Don't ask me how I know.
In the end, I only played in Hong Kong for seven days, and my understanding of Hong Kong is still relatively shallow. But I really feel that my wallet is not enough. Spent 50 thousand and then came back. After contacting the tour guide, I found it really difficult for foreigners to live and survive in Hong Kong. Whether buying a house or renting a house, whether children go to school or live, just taking out one can make people breathless.
Personal feeling: Hong Kong is not a place for the poor. ...
Before I went to Hong Kong, I thought Hong Kong was a bustling metropolis. I didn't know it was crowded until I went to Hong Kong. Dishwashers with a monthly income of 30 thousand live in a room like a birdcage.
From Hong Kong dramas, I learned that the prosperity of Hong Kong is also a paradise for shoppers, which makes people feel the urge to go there. A few years ago, I worked in a Hong Kong-owned company and often went to Hong Kong for business. Since I went there, I have seen the other side of Hong Kong, and then I will talk about some of my feelings in Hong Kong.
Life in Hong Kong 1: Middle-aged and elderly people in Hong Kong usually prefer to go to the vegetable market rather than the supermarket. They think the vegetable market is more grounded. When you meet familiar vendors, you will greet them warmly and don't forget to bargain when you buy things. Some people think that Hong Kong people looked down on mainlanders in the past. In my personal experience, not all Hong Kong people are like this. At least the older generation of Hong Kong people do not exclude mainlanders. On the contrary, Hong Kong people who have just moved from the mainland seem to have a sense of superiority, giving people a sense of superiority.
In the company where I work, there is a colleague from Fujian who moved to Hong Kong with his parents a few years ago. I often talk about how bad the environment was before, and what will happen after I come to Hong Kong, which makes people particularly uncomfortable. In his usual life, he changed his previous living habits, constantly pondered the preferences of Hong Kong people, wanted to integrate into life in Hong Kong as soon as possible, and emphasized that he was a Hong Kong person no matter where he was.
Hong Kong is dominated by trade, and the agricultural manufacturing industry is not so developed, so many things need to be imported from outside. Although the price is more expensive, most people like to buy branded goods. For example, ordinary people buy a watch, save money for a few months, and spend a lot of money to buy a Swiss famous brand.
Every morning, many Hong Kong people pull trolleys across the border to Shenzhen. They are not here to travel, but to buy meat and vegetables. All kinds of ingredients in Hong Kong are relatively expensive, and some uncles and aunts will come to Shenzhen to sweep goods when they are not at work. Buying big bags and small bags at home can save a lot of money. Convenient transportation. After shopping, you can still catch lunch by car.
5. The pressure of survival in Hong Kong is relatively high, and the pace of life is fast. Many people will give up their rest after work and take two jobs to supplement their families. White-collar workers who work in office buildings look well dressed. They may change clothes and work part-time in restaurants on weekends, and engage in two completely different occupations.
6. The transportation in Hong Kong is relatively developed, and subway, bus, taxi and ferry can all be selected. Generally speaking, there are many people taking minibuses and there are many lines. It's convenient to stop when you wave. You can go to almost every corner of Hong Kong by car, and the price is very cheap. There is no tax on buying a private car in Hong Kong, but many families are reluctant to buy it, mainly because they can afford it. No.97 gasoline 17 yuan/liter. It takes at least an hour to park in the parking lot for 25 yuan. There is a car at home, which costs almost 8000 yuan a month to maintain.
7. Hong Kong people don't have much demand for clothes. The color of clothes is relatively simple, mostly black, white and gray. When foreigners come to Hong Kong, they will carefully choose clothes, and girls will dress up beautifully. Walking in the street, whether you are a native of Hong Kong can be seen from your clothes.
8. Another feature of Hong Kong people is that they take water cups everywhere. This habit is very good. It can not only save money on buying water, but also protect the environment. It can also replenish water to your body at any time. They think that drinking warm water in a thermos cup is more beneficial to health than drinking cold water.
Hong Kong's Hong Kong-style dwelling is ridiculously high, 2-3 times higher than that of Shenzhen. It has become the dream of most Hong Kong people to own a house of their own, but not many people can realize it.
Judging from the current housing prices in Hong Kong, the price per square meter is around 200,000 RMB. Buying a house of 30 square meters requires at least 6 million RMB. Even in remote suburbs, the minimum house price is 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. Although the price is cheap, it is inconvenient to work and study, and the monthly transportation fee is also a big expense.
This price is much higher than that of first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it is not a good place for Hong Kong. If it is a house in the central city, the average family work 100 is not enough to buy a suite.
Some people make fun of Hong Kong people: they lived in a coffin before they died.
Most people can't afford a house. If they want to find a place to live, they will apply for public housing. Because there are too many people, it depends entirely on luck whether you can apply. Unfortunately, I can only live in a cage.
Hong Kong is a crowded metropolis, a slum in Sham Shui Po, where cage homes and? Houses are rented by foot, and the rent per foot is as high as HK$ 320, which is about RMB 260 yuan. Most of the people living here are low-income laborers and widowed elderly people with low income levels.
An ordinary room? After the landlord's renovation, the room is divided into six beds, only 2 meters long, just enough for one person to lie down, and the height will not exceed 1.5 meters. It's hard to stand up straight. There is only a narrow aisle in the middle, just like a sleeper on a train. In this environment, it is difficult to have a good sleep, let alone privacy.
The living environment in Hong Kong is not as good as expected. Why are so many people willing to stay in Hong Kong? Hong Kong is an international metropolis with heavy traffic. In addition to locals, there are also many foreign tourists, so there are more opportunities to earn money by working, and the salary is relatively higher.
For example, IT technicians who join an Internet company can earn more than 80,000 yuan a month. Even in restaurants on the street, the wages of dishwashers posted are more than 30 thousand yuan. Some people want to make money here, but they can only endure the hardships of life.
As one of the four little dragons in Asia, Hong Kong has relatively perfect welfare in all aspects.
As long as they have obtained the status of permanent residents in Hong Kong, their children can join the voucher scheme and apply for tuition fee reduction and part of their living expenses. After passing, primary school students can get an annual education allowance of HK$ 2,500, which will be distributed to their immediate guardians.
Old people who have worked in Hong Kong for a certain number of years can receive old age allowance after retirement to ensure the most basic life. Old people without housing will also provide housing subsidies.
Young people are unemployed and the economy is relatively difficult. They can receive unemployment benefits every month and apply for public housing.
With relatively high income and good welfare, it is not easy to obtain a permanent residence permit in Hong Kong. Many people will not leave easily even if they have a bad life in Hong Kong.
In the end, in Hong Kong, where land is scarce, only high-rise buildings can be seen. Narrow roads and narrow living space make people feel depressed. Maybe Hong Kong is not for everyone.
Having been to Hong Kong twice, I feel that most Hong Kong people are still very friendly to mainlanders. Indeed, few Hong Kong people feel good about themselves and have a sense of superiority.
The current situation of humble abode in Hong Kong is very common, and the living conditions are not as good as those in the mainland. It is not easy to solve it at once. Even so, some Hong Kong people still have the feeling of looking down on mainlanders, which is amazing.
Hong Kong, how can I put it? First of all, due to the differences in system and legal system caused by historical reasons, the whole society and the whole city have been shaped into a different look from the mainland cities. Although it speaks vernacular like Guangdong, a neighboring province, and is located in the Pearl River Delta, the people here have completely different concepts and urban features from Shenzhen, not to mention other cities in the mainland.
When you enter Hong Kong at this moment, you are greeted by familiar and unfamiliar traditional Chinese characters everywhere, and your ears are full of urgent vernacular, reminding you to come to traditional but fashionable Hong Kong at all times.
Except for the high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls in Central and Victoria Harbour, every other street and alley in the whole city is basically decades-old buildings and mottled Tang buildings. The wires in the street are in a mess, small advertisements are posted everywhere, and advertising signs are in various styles. Although messy, it is far better than uniformity. Personally, I think this is what a city should look like.
On the street, all kinds of traditional tinkling cars and double-decker buses with Hong Kong characteristics shuttle by. At every crosswalk, there will be ringing alarm bells and emergency traffic signals to remind passing vehicles and people. There will always be newsstands on the street corner that have long since disappeared from us, both in Chinese and English. Freshly baked newspapers are always sold out in one morning. Today, Hong Kong people still maintain the traditional paper reading habits.
In markets and shops, all kinds of drinks that we often have there, except cola, are basically gone. The things in the refrigerators of small shops in Shenzhen and Harbin may be the same, but they will definitely be different from those in Hong Kong, which is separated by a river. It's simple. In Hong Kong, this is called overseas export. The food and drug supervision standards of the two places are different, involving import and export, and it is extremely difficult for mainland drinks to be listed in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, most people's Mandarin is poor. How bad is it? Those in their seventies and eighties in Foshan, Guangzhou, speak more standard than young people in Hong Kong. Why? Because there are really few scenes where Putonghua is used, most of them are in Mandarin and English.
In Hong Kong, there can be no bank card, but there will definitely be Octopus. Octopus covers everything, and Hong Kong people use it very well, such as eating cards, taking cars and shopping. The people who scan the QR code are generally mainland tourists. For Hong Kong people, mobile payment is far less than Octopus. Because it is suitable for all ages, school-age children and the elderly do not need to take a mobile phone to do a series of operations, just pull out the card to shoot, which is fast and effective.
In Hong Kong, besides shopping malls, temples are also very popular. Many Hong Kong people are very devout in worshipping Buddha, and even the Buddha's birthday is a legal holiday. The integration of Chinese and western cultures in Hong Kong is quite close, and many people are Catholics. How many days are legal holidays in a year?
In Hong Kong, it's not all as expensive as described by the media, eating hundreds of bowls of noodles or something. In fact, the relative income of ordinary citizens' daily consumption is very cheap, such as women's street, Beihe street and so on. Of course, if you want to go to high-end shopping malls or places specializing in tourism business, it is of course expensive. A snack that everyone enjoys is only 3-40, so eat well and be full.
In Hong Kong, you will find that there is no discrimination in employment such as age and gender. As long as you are willing to work, white-haired taxi drivers and bus drivers abound, and hotel restaurants are almost all waiters over 60 years old. On the one hand, it is due to the aging of Hong Kong society. On the other hand, Hong Kong people are used to these things, and there will be no discrimination or humiliation. Everyone is working hard and making a living by working. Those who really get hurt are those who get CSSA at a young age.
In Hong Kong, most people live in crowded public housing and old-style Tang buildings. Even commercial buildings are demolished and sold according to our standards. A set of 90 square meters can be dismantled and sold in three sets. However, the property price is not as unattainable as the legend.
Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city with a high degree of internationalization. Due to historical reasons, there are still differences and characteristics in regulation between Hong Kong and mainland cities. It is a pearl of our country. With the acceleration and deepening of Greater Bay Area's integration process, Hong Kong in the future may learn from advanced cities in the Mainland in many aspects.
I have been to Hong Kong for three times and felt the strong atmosphere of a world-class city, which is beyond the reach of Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen.
I have been to Hong Kong once, and I feel that the road is narrower than Beijing, the car density is higher than Beijing, but the speed is much faster than Beijing. The main reasons are reasonable urban planning, dense road network, high quality drivers, almost no parallel lines, no horns and strict management. I sat in the back row without wearing a seat belt, and was found by the police and severely criticized, and I was almost fined. I have been to Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneyland, and I have a good impression. In particular, the management of Hong Kong Disneyland is more standardized and scientific. For example, one person is not allowed to queue up for multiple relatives and friends to cut in line.
I don't like being too depressed.
After living in Hong Kong for three months, to be honest, I really don't feel anything. I can see and buy some in the mainland, some are leisure and some are expensive. Every place has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on its own needs.
In Hong Kong, except for working to make money ... that's nothing compared with Shenzhen.
