  anything on it. While normally it does not cost
  much, itll charge a bomb on internationally
  roaming. So, it may be wiser to switch off the
  mobile data connection while on move. Most good
  cafes in Hong Kong have Wi-Fi, so you can still
  stay connected to the world while sipping a cup
  of coffee. However, if you are using a Hong Kong
  sim card, you may enjoy checking your social
  media profiles on the go.

  want to travel to and fro the mainland, Star
  Ferry is an excellent option. Here also upper
  deck seats will ensure stunning views of the
  area. Simply plug in your Headphones and enjoy
  the panoramic view around.

• Accessories such as adapter, headphones, chargers
  etc are essential for traveling around. So, if
  you are travelling to Hong Kong and have
  forgotten your essential accessories, it is wiser
  to rent them, instead of purchasing them. Most of
  these accessories are pretty costly and by
  renting them you can save a lot of money, without
  compromising on quality.
