Filled to the brim with a glorious street food culture and even cheaper shopping – largely due to the country’s lack of consumer tax – its a great place to be in for those looking for a short getaway.
But just one word of advice – please bring enough Hong Kong dollars (HKD) to fuel your holiday. Hong Kong money changers offer rates that differ hugely as compared to what you get here.

Ironically, DBS in Hong Kong is offering indicative rates closer to you’ll get locally:
At such a huge difference in rates, DBS rates would translate to an additional HK$600 for every S$1000.
That is, if you hold a DBS account, and you’re drawing cash from a DBS ATM. If you’re withdrawing money off a Hong Kong banking establishment, a service fee would be charged on top of the foreign bank rate.
In case you need to know; this is the usual cost of items in Hong Kong.
