Hong Kong Travel places of interest on a tight budget

If you ae really on a budget traveler to Hong Kong, I would suggest you stay in Shenzhen, China, than in Hong Kong itself. Shenzhen and Hong Kong is only seperated by a causeway and the cost of living is definitely cheaper than in Hong Kong.

Where to stay in Shenzhen?
Do find a hotel that is near the railway station in Lou Hu area. This is because the China-Hong Kong border is in Lou Hu. There is also a subway station there. The hotels in this area cost between US$15 and US$500. 5 stars hotels such as Shangri-la is just above the subway station.

How do I cross over to Hong Kong?
The immigration is over at the railway station. It is an integrated station where you can find the bus terminal, the subway station, the railway station and the immigration.

Once you have cleared the immigration, you need to cross a bridge to Hong Kong.

How do I get to Hong Kong Disney Land?
When you are over at the Hong Kong immigration, you will see the Disney Land booth. You can purchase your entrance and transport tickets there.

REMEMBER!
The Chinese immigration closes at 12 mid-night. Do get back to Lu Huo before 12 mid-night. If not, you have to spend a night over at Hong Kong.

What is there to see at Shenzhen?
There is a Windows of the World. Here, you can travel around the world in half a day, including photo taking. Miniature monuments or building representing a country can be seen here. You can get there via subway.

For good shopping, you may want to drop by at Hwa Chiang. It is a shopping haven and the price is cheaper than in Hong Kong. Do remember to bargain.
