Is the VIP coupon for a 4-day and 3-night trip to Hong Kong and Macau for two people a scam?

Hong Kong and Macau 4 days and 3 nights VIP trip for two people

The shopping merchant gave me a VIP card for the 4 days and 3 nights VIP trip to Hong Kong and Macao for two people. Although I have heard that Hong Kong tours and shopping are closed, I thought I always buy something when I go to Hong Kong. If I don’t go, it will be a waste of this coupon for a two-person trip, so I happily go.

D1: Difficult customs entry

Tourists are required to gather at Shenzhen Huanggang Port at 9:00 in the morning. They fly to Shenzhen one day in advance and arrive at Huanggang Port early the next day. I didn’t expect that there would be so many tourists visiting Hong Kong and Macao. The entire Huanggang Port was full of people, like crucian carp crossing the river. We only gathered at 9:30. We only handed over a 200 yuan tip and a 60 yuan customs clearance fee, and they didn’t check ours at all. I have a VIP card for a two-person tour and I have not signed any travel contract. I tell everyone the phone number of the Hong Kong tour guide and let everyone queue up and clear customs. The customs clearance hall was bustling with people. It took 3 hours to pass through the customs. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I changed buses several times and finally had lunch. I didn’t expect that not only was the rice bad, but the vegetables were cabbage, radish, and salted dried fish. Not to mention Meat, not even eggs in sight.

Hong Kong Sightseeing

We visited Ocean Park in the afternoon, but unfortunately it was only arranged for 2:30 hours. The park is very large and there are many tourists. It is common to queue for more than 40 minutes for some attractions, and there are many results. There is no place to play. We visited Repulse Bay and Victoria Peak, staying at each scenic spot for about 10 minutes and passing by in a flash. There is no difference between dinner and lunch. In the evening, we also arranged a night boat trip to Victoria Harbor and then returned to the hotel. I have long heard that houses in Hong Kong are expensive, and every inch of land costs a lot. If you open the room door, one step to the bed is worth one star, two steps is worth two stars, and so on. The hotel is quite good, it can be regarded as 3 or 4 stars. I thought, it seems that the rumors are not true, the hotel is not that small. (I later learned that the first day of the trip was the biggest trip, and the hotel was the best, which put everyone in a good mood and made it easier to arrange shopping for the next day)

D2: Shopping in Hong Kong

< p> Breakfast didn’t even include the most basic porridge or steamed buns. It was just as simple as yesterday’s lunch. When we got on the bus after the meal, the tour guide took away all our Hong Kong and Macau passes and said that we needed to go through the departure procedures. (To put pressure on everyone, if you don’t obey the arrangements later, there is no way to leave Hong Kong without a Hong Kong and Macao pass). The tour guide in Hong Kong is a young girl and she is quite nice. In order to encourage tourists to shop more, the travel company has arranged for a middle-aged woman covered in jewels, who claims to be the manager. You can tell at a glance that she is a powerful veteran, and she will give it to everyone when they get on the bus. It is inculcated that coming to Hong Kong is not for sightseeing, but for shopping. Because it is tax-free, the more you shop, the more you save. Life is short, so don’t treat yourself badly.

The first shopping store is a jewelry display center. As soon as I arrived at the store, I realized that this jewelry store is not like a domestic shopping mall. It has multiple doors, all of which are open to the outside world. The jewelry store has only one door. As soon as the tour group enters, the door is closed, and there are people watching outside the door. The jewelry store is only open to tour groups and is not open to the public at all. The rumored closed shopping has finally happened. After entering, each family will be assigned a salesperson to follow up one-on-one. The prices of gold and silver are relatively transparent, so these jewelry are not sold, but some jewelry such as diamonds are sold, which cannot be valued. I had no choice but to buy one piece as a trade. Because if you don’t buy, you can’t find the exit of the mall. Even if you find the door, you can’t get out because someone is watching and won’t let you out if you don’t buy. Everyone did some shopping. Behind it is a watch shop and a duty-free department store. Among them, two little girls did not buy it, and the result was that they did not arrange accommodation that night. As a result, the two little girls called the police 4 times in one day. Alas! Could it be that they came to see the Hong Kong police? Finally, he said that the driver was the hardest worker, so he took out a Hong Kong souvenir keychain that was sold outside for 20 yuan, each costing 100 yuan, or 120 Hong Kong dollars, and said it was for the driver's hard work.

Hong Kong Pigeon Cage

The shopping in Hong Kong has been completed, so there is no need to arrange a hotel. I stayed in a small hotel at night. The room didn't even have windows. The bed was right outside the door. The bed is 80 centimeters wide and 180 centimeters long. When sleeping, most of the lower legs are outside the bed. The bathroom is even smaller. If you are 1.8cm tall, when you bend over to brush your teeth, your butt will hit the wall behind you. The mirror in front of your head will make you unable to bend down. It is a pity that this hotel did not apply for the capsule apartment award.

D3: The most deceptive customs escort

She asked everyone to get up at 4:00 in the morning, saying that they were rushing to leave customs and take a boat to Macau. Another older lady picked us up at the hotel in the morning. We thought she was the tour guide behind us. As soon as the fat lady got on the bus, she told everyone about the feng shui and superstitions of Macau casinos. Everyone just gambled, and there was basically no chance of winning. Finally, she revealed that the magic weapon to win was the redbud flower in Hong Kong. The redbud flower was modeled after the redbud flower in the Convention and Exhibition Center. Made, it is an auspicious flower. It was designated to charge 100 RMB. I thought that this lady would accompany everyone to visit Macau later, so I would treat it as a tip. The lady's timing was really accurate. Just after collecting the money, the car arrived at the pier. She gave everyone the phone number of the Macau tour guide and said that she would not take you through customs and would go back with the car to pick up other tour groups, collect the money and leave. (I didn’t know until I returned to Zhuhai that 6 bauhinia flowers cost 100 yuan. Sister, your heart is too dark.)

Paid Macau casino tour

Breakfast is 1 piece of bread plus 1 We had chrysanthemum tea, (super disgusting bread, this was the first time in my life) and waited in line for another hour. We took the 65-minute ferry from Hong Kong to Macau to Macau, where we took a bus to visit the Ruins of St. Paul’s and the Ruins of St. Paul’s. After visiting Mazu Temple and Macau Bridge, we took everyone to a small casino. After playing for half an hour, we went shopping at a gift house. At the end of the trip, we had to go back to Zhuhai to stay in the evening. Everyone has heard about the luxury and grandeur of casinos when they come to Macau. There is nothing to see in the small casino. They say that you can choose to spend 120 yuan at the Venetian Casino in Macau to enjoy the artificial blue sky and white clouds, artificial canals, the Grand Lisboa Casino lobby, and 400 yuan. Yuan's adult passionate dance performance. It’s a must to visit Macau’s major casinos. Most people choose to pay 120 yuan for the Venice Casino and Grand Lisboa Casino tours at their own expense. Only when I went there did I realize that the casinos are all free. And there is free pick-up and drop-off by the casino bus.

Amazing Macau customs clearance

After seeing the Macau Grand Casino, the bus took us to the Macau customs clearance port. The tour guide gave us the phone number of the Zhuhai tour guide and we cleared the customs on our own. I really didn’t expect that the difficulty of exiting the customs in Macau is no less difficult than entering the customs in Hong Kong. The most amazing thing is the management of Macau. There is no railing to separate the queues at the entrance of the huge customs hall. As soon as the door opens, people pour into the hall like a tide. It is even more crowded and noisy than the Spring Festival Transport on the railway. Some people even started fighting, and an old man fainted because of the bad air. It took more than 2 hours to exit customs. Finally returned to the mainland. The terrible Macau customs clearance port, with people swarming like ants, left me with lingering fears.

The so-called Zhuhai Tourism

The breakfast and lunch in Zhuhai are considered the best in this trip. Breakfast includes steamed buns, steamed buns and porridge, and lunch includes meat and shrimps. After breakfast, the first shopping store is a daily necessities store made of bamboo charcoal fiber, the second shopping store is a parallel import store, and the third shopping store is a jade shop. The jade shop is even more funny. The boss said that the company pays hundreds of millions in taxes every year. In order to get everyone to support him in choosing him to be among the top three private entrepreneurs in Guangdong, all the jade items with a price tag of tens of thousands (all of which were bid by him) were priced at 100 yuan, and the top 10 were restricted. Some people even rushed to buy them, and they fainted. The tour only stayed at Lovers' Avenue for 15 minutes. This is Zhuhai's tour. After lunch, the tour guide took out cigarettes and asked everyone to support their performance, exploiting them step by step, collecting Hong Kong dollars and Macau patacas until they drained everyone of the last coin in their pockets. Then the bus will take everyone back to Guangzhou or Shenzhen.

This is a luxury 4-day and 3-night tour of Hong Kong and Macau. There is more shopping than sightseeing. There is no tour guide to accompany you all the way. You have to go through customs by yourself. You get up earlier than a chicken and eat worse than a pig. Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, The four travel agencies in Zhuhai are all thinking about how to squeeze as much money out of tourists' wallets as possible, regardless of reputation. If things go on like this, sooner or later they will ruin the Hong Kong and Macao tourism brand.
