When I first came to Hong Kong, I missed my stop on the bus and didn't know how to give a tip. Those silly moments are still fresh in my memory. Today, I've organized 12 things I learned after coming to Hong Kong and some things you definitely shouldn't do. Friends who are coming to Hong Kong can take a look in advance to avoid awkward situations.

1The area of Hong Kong is measured in square feet, not square meters.
2Eating is prohibited on the Hong Kong subway, and if caught, you could be fined up to 1500 HKD.
3The prices for cold drinks and hot drinks in Hong Kong are different; cold drinks are a few dollars more expensive.
4Many restaurants in Hong Kong charge a service fee of about 10%.
5The street markets in Hong Kong are equivalent to our vegetable markets, a must-visit for saving money on groceries.
6Housing prices in Hong Kong are extremely high, and many people stay in hotels long-term or apply for public housing.

7The air conditioning in Hong Kong is very strong, so remember to bring a light jacket when going out to the mall in summer.
8When withdrawing money from banks in Hong Kong, the card comes out first, and the cash comes out afterward. This is the opposite of the mainland.
9On Hong Kong buses, you need to press the button to get off; otherwise, the bus won't stop at the station. Don't be silly and miss your stop.
10On the Ding Ding tram in Hong Kong, you don't pay when you get on; you only pay when you get off.
11In Hong Kong, some floors are counted as ground floor, while others are not.
12Remember to bring cash when going out in Hong Kong, as some shops only accept cash.
