when it comes to taking photos in hong kong, the most convenient way of transportation is definitely to take the subway. buy an octopus card or activate an octopus card on your mobile phone, and you can not only take the subway, but also make purchases at convenience stores and restaurants. if you don’t need an octopus card, you can actually use alipay/wechat to scan the qr code to enter the subway.

however, hong kong's transportation is still better than that of the mainland.a bit more expensive 🤏for example, from sheung shui station to central station, there are 13 stations in total, and the fare is 22 hong kong dollars.mtr tourist day passmore cost-effective!
