Ticket holders can enter Hong Kong for 7 days
After entering a few keywords of "Hong Kong Customs Clearance" in Taobao, you can see a large number of businesses that provide Hong Kong visa services. The reporter said that for some reason, they were in a hurry to go to Hong Kong. After they had no time to apply for a Hong Kong visa, the shopkeeper proposed that they could transit Hong Kong in the name of a connection. Pass smoothly. It only takes 150 yuan (about 168 Hong Kong dollars) to issue a ticket itinerary.
The store stated that Thailand does not need to apply in advance for visas to Chinese tourists. It is only necessary to present a Chinese passport and air ticket itinerary when transiting through Hong Kong. After that, they can stay in Hong Kong for 7 days. Reasons such as changes in the itinerary obstruct the past, and generally it will not be difficult, "just ask me for a ticket in advance one day."

"Customs clearance service" in disguise is free to come to Hong Kong
Since the introduction of the Free Travel Policy in 2003, the controversy over the influx of mainland tourists to Hong Kong has been non-stop. In addition to the impact of a large number of passenger flows, too much laxity for mainland visitors entering Hong Kong has also attracted media attention. In fact, only 49 cities in the Mainland can apply for free entry visas, and they can come to Hong Kong without participating in tour groups. The rest of the cities need to apply for group tours to enter Hong Kong with a "Group Travel Endorsement" (L visa).
However, many mainland residents in non-free-city cities will purchase customs clearance services to come to Hong Kong through Taobao e-shops. Later, they have developed to pass customs clearance without customs clearance services, and open up freely in the country in disguise. These Taobao shops have also helped mainland residents with various needs to enter Hong Kong, including issuing fake air tickets and itineraries.
Respondents from non-freedom cities in the Mainland told reporters that they had also tried to purchase customs clearance services, but later found that they could pass through Hong Kong with their passports and went to Hong Kong and never applied for a visa. The officer said, "I want to fly to Thailand and they will let me in."
