Extra Travel Tips

• Mix Cash & Card – Hong Kong is card-friendly in urban areas, but cash is still preferred at street markets, taxis, small eateries, and temples. Keep coins and small notes handy for smooth transactions.
• Use HKD in Hong Kong, not AUD – Always pay in Hong Kong dollars to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. Local currency gives you better value and fewer surprises.
• Watch ATM Fees – Foreign cards may incur withdrawal charges. Use ATMs at Hang Seng Bank, 7-Eleven, or MTR stations for reliable access and clearer fee structures. Always choose to be charged in HKD.
• Leftover Dollar After Your Trip? – Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused Hong Kong dollars—simple, secure, and great value for returning travelers.
