Useful Hong Kong Travel Asia Tips

It is useful for travelers to review some Hong Kong travel Asia tips before a trip to the city. In terms of currency, there are many banks and money changes in the city, and credit cards are also widely accepted, especially Visa and MasterCard. Some smaller shops may require a minimum purchase to use credit cards, though, and some will charge you a few percent more for using a credit card.

There are ATMs throughout the city where you can withdraw Hong Kong dollars from your credit card or bank account, and some shops and supermarkets also accept RMB Yuan. Emergency numbers in Hong Kong are 999 for ambulance, fire and police, 1081 for directory assistance in English, and 10010 to make a collect call. 220 Volts 50 Hz is the electricity standard in Hong Kong, which will fry most US and Japanese electrical appliances if you don't connect the proper transformers first.
