Depends perhaps on which money changers in the US you are talking about (they are relatively few to begin with which should not surprise you if the rate is far off from HK$7.8 to US$1). However in any case, I'd exchange only enough money in the city centre just to pay for public transport - keep in mind you can use credit cards to pay for Airport Express and bus trips (via contactless VISA or Mastercard). Chungking Mansion at Tsim Sha Tsui is where to go to exchange money for the best rates.
Hello. Can i buy an octopus card at the machine with a credit card not just cash? Thanks
Do you get a better exchange rate at the HK airport compared to exchanging in the US before traveling there?
