Travel Money Trivia - HKD edition

The Hong Kong dollar was unified as legal tender in 1937.
The HKD is the 9th most traded currency in the world, despite only being used in Hong Kong and Macau.
Together with South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, Hong Kong is part of the ‘4 Asian Tigers’ – known for their fierce and rapidly grown economies.
HKD coins started gradually replacing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a depiction of a Bauhinia flower in 1993, four years prior to the end of British rule in Hong Kong. So they just went from one beauty to another, really.

Do I need cash in Hong Kong or can I just use my card?
You'll need both. While credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Hong Kong's shops, hotels, and restaurants, cash is essential for:
- Street markets and night markets
- Street food stalls (dai pai dong)
- Small local vendors
- Public transport (unless using Octopus Card)
- Taxis (some accept cards but cash is preferred)
- Temples (donation boxes)
  
  We recommend carrying HK$3,000-5,000 in cash, plus getting an Octopus Card (rechargeable stored value card) for seamless travel on the MTR, buses, ferries, and purchases at convenience stores like 7-Eleven.
