What app should I download when going to Hong Kong? What navigation software should I use in Hong Kong?
When you go to Hong Kong, you must download some software. This will help you when you travel independently. Below, the editor will tell you what software is recommended for you to download when going to Hong Kong. Everyone and Let’s go and have a look together. What software should I download? 1. Google Map Googlemap is easier to use than Amap and so on.
2.MTRMobile
If there is any shortcoming of Google Maps, it is that the timing of the subway is inaccurate. At this time, you need to use MTR
Mobile. The most commonly used one is the "Rail Itinerary Guide", which allows you to view all MTR lines, including time and fares. "Station Exit Information" is also very useful, but it needs to be updated all the time.
3. My Observatory
Hong Kong’s weather forecast is released from here. The happiest thing is to see it push the No. 8 typhoon signal - the entire territory is suspended.
4-6.KMB.LWB, NWFB and Citybus, and New Lantau Bus
These three apps basically cover all bus routes in Hong Kong.
Because I live in Kowloon, I use the first app every day to catch and drop off buses. It provides various information about Kowloon buses. Including route inquiry, real-time driving (for example, I used to catch the 8:38 bus every day, never arriving early~) and pick-up and drop-off reminders.
Tips:
If non-Cantonese-speaking students come to Hong Kong, do not choose other modes of transportation if you can take the MTR (except for sightseeing rides such as the Ding Ding Car and the Star Ferry) oh. And the MTR is the cheapest, most convenient, and has the highest access to information.
Don’t take the minibus if you can. Most minibuses only stop when the sound is low, which is completely unclear to outsiders. It is more convenient to have bus stops displayed. But they are all more expensive than the MTR.
So are taxis. Most taxi drivers don't speak Mandarin very well, and most can only accept cash (some taxis now accept Alipay HK). There are three types of taxis: red Hong Kong taxis, blue Kowloon taxis, and green New Territories taxis. The prices decrease in sequence. I have never ridden in green, I have only ridden in blue once, and the others were all red. The starting price of the red one is 26HKD, but taxi pricing is more complicated, and there are unpacking fees and so on. That is to say, how much does it cost to put one item in the trunk, how much does it cost to put two items in the trunk, etc.
7-8.URBITX, Timeable
You can buy tickets for performing arts events, including concerts, dances, plays, etc. For example, the Hong Kong Arts Festival is on sale recently (of course I bought reserved tickets).
Timeable is more like a large collection of commercial and entertainment activities in Hong Kong. For example, click on "Recommendations for Christmas Must-dos" and you can see a lot of Christmas Hong Kong-themed activities. It is very suitable for those who are willing to explore Hong Kong. You are keen on niche gameplay. There are also many workshops, parent-child activities and other information.
9.openrice
The Hong Kong version of Dianping, Meituan, Are You Hungry and other software, but the publishing of comments is more strict. For general dining, it is recommended to open openrice and search nearby. It will also provide some discounts. By the way, Jack Ma’s father recently invested in openrice, and I believe there will be more benefits in the future.
10-11.CWJ+Turbojet
The Chinese names are Cotai Water Jet and Turbojet. You can buy tickets on these two apps from Hong Kong to Macau. When buying tickets, you must pay attention to the following, which are all lessons learned from my personal experience T.T:
1. There are two piers in Hong Kong. Pay attention to the distinction:
The one located in Tsim Sha Tsui is called China Pier/Kowloon. It's not very convenient to take the subway, you need to walk.
The one located in Sheung Wan is called the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal/Hong Kong. Just outside Sheung Wan MTR station.
2. There are two piers in Macau. Pay attention to the distinction:
The Outer Harbor Terminal is where Ruins of St. Paul's, Grand Lisboa and Fisherman's Wharf are located;
The closest to the University of Macau is the _Zai Pier.
3. The prices of the two types of ships are slightly different. There are discounts from time to time, so you can pay attention to them. But I think the jet is more stable. Once I came back from Macau and it was not very comfortable. . .
4. The frequency of the two ships is different, that is, the docking docks are slightly different. I usually choose Tsim Sha Tsui to go to and from the Outer Harbor. Because Macau is not big, it is very convenient to get to the Outer Harbor Terminal.
5. After downloading the app, you can buy tickets directly and scan the QR code to enter the gate. It should be possible to pay only with master/visa.
6. Remember to arrive early. Because I have to leave the country in Hong Kong.
7. You can board the ship in advance with your ticket and just stand in line at the waiting table.
12.HKTaxi
Do you find it difficult to hire a taxi? The driver does not speak Mandarin? Don’t know the specific taxi price? You can directly enter the location and destination on this app. You can choose to pay with cash and the driver will be there instantly (best app of its kind).
13.MCL
MCL cinema’s app for buying movie tickets. You can check the time and price.
Tips: The movie tickets for the morning show are only 50HKD!
14. Alipay hk + WeChat Hong Kong
As a melon-eater, I am very happy that the two big guys are fighting a capital war, and we can take advantage of it Make a profit. There are really a lot of discounts now. It should be noted that Alipay HK/Wechat
pay is different from Alipay/Wechat in mainland China. The HK version needs to be bound to a Hong Kong credit card. Therefore, tourists basically cannot use it. But there are many stores that can use Alipay (mainland), such as SASA. Don’t make a mistake when paying. Mainland Alipay/WeChat displays in simplified Chinese, while the Hong Kong version displays in traditional Chinese. Others
I won’t introduce the remaining apps individually as they are not particularly helpful to you.
They are:
GoGoVan:
If you buy too many things and think taxis are too expensive, you can hire GoGoVan to help you deliver them. . Usually when we move, we must call GoGoVan. The disadvantage is that most of the drivers speak Cantonese.
