The Chinese New Year is approaching, but since China and Hong Kong have not yet cleared customs, Hong Kong citizens who plan to return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year can only stay in a quarantined hotel in Shenzhen for 14 days in early January before they can reunite with their families a year earlier.

If you stay in a quarantine hotel "randomly assigned" by the authorities, you can't choose the location and price, you can only rely on luck.


For example, a user of the mainland social platform "Xiaohongshu" pointed out that compared to urban areas, isolated hotel rooms usually have a larger area and a lower price in the more remote Pingshan District and Dapeng New District.

Another passenger who was quarantined in Shenzhen revealed to Hong Kong 01 that the hotel he stayed in was outdated, and the glass door of the bathroom suddenly shattered and injured him.

In addition, affected by the local epidemic in Shenzhen, whether it is possible to order takeaways and receive express packages, each hotel also has different regulations.


At present, to enter Shenzhen from Hong Kong, in addition to a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 24 hours, it is also necessary to present a confirmation form for an online reservation for a quarantine hotel quota in advance.

However, since January, the official system for providing online reservations for quarantine hotels has only released about 800 places to stay in quarantine hotels every day

.

Those who can’t get it will either give up or simply go to the port to “try their luck”.

Passengers who go directly to the port to "break through" have no right to choose which quarantine hotel to stay in, and can only be "randomly assigned" by the government.

Lucky travelers can be assigned to hotels with large rooms and less than 200 yuan (RMB, the same below) a night, but there are also hotels that cost more than 300 yuan.

Overall, the price of a quarantine hotel is about 200 to 300 yuan per night.

Suburban hotel "low price and big room" is known as "fairy hotel"

Since the closure of the customs, there have been many articles comparing Shenzhen's isolation hotels on the mainland Internet.

Many netizens shared in the "Xiaohongshu" that in the relatively remote Dapeng New District and Pingshan District, it is easy to choose the "Shenxian Hotel" with a moderate price and large rooms.

Xiao An, who was born in the 1990s, originally made an online reservation to stay at a hotel in Luohu District on January 7. However, due to a confirmed case in Luohu that day, the hotel in the district no longer accepted new quarantined guests that day, resulting in more than 200 people stranded after passing through the border. Waiting for hotel allocation at the port.

Xiao An told the 01 reporter that there were three types of passengers at the scene, "one who successfully made an appointment to the hotel, the other who failed to make an appointment at the hotel and waited for on-site assignment, and the third who claimed to have found a relationship to pass the customs", but they were all "equally" waiting for the authorities in the lobby distribute.

In the end, Xiao An learned that she was assigned to a hotel in Pingshan New District in the early morning of the 8th. Due to the remoteness of the area, she arrived at the hotel at 4:00 in the morning.

Xiao An shared that the hotel he stayed in was 260 yuan a night, which is what netizens call a "fairy hotel". You can choose any meal every day.

Residents complained about 'besieged' meals

Xiao An mentioned that the hotel's meals are "not bad, much like a university cafeteria." The hotel's WeChat group will send out menus every day, and guests can choose from them.

She has seen hotel guests in the group requesting customized meals, such as "don't have pork", "want to eat scrambled eggs with cold melon", and most of the hotels try their best to meet the needs of the guests.

However, some residents still complained about the poor taste of the quarantine hotel's meals, but they were quickly besieged by others in the group, "This is quarantine, not a vacation," and "be content."

Xiao An himself felt that the hotel was "satisfactory" regardless of the price, environment and meals.

Xiao An is expected to end her centralized isolation on January 20, but she will need another nucleic acid test before she can leave Shenzhen and return to her home in Changsha, Hunan.

She mentioned that the self-isolated hotel has provided customers with the service of "staying for an extra day", considering that the nucleic acid test of the guests may be delayed.

It is understood that it is up to each epidemic prevention hotel to decide whether to order takeout and receive express packages.

Although some epidemic prevention hotels allow customers to order takeout, they will also limit the time.

Due to the outbreak of the epidemic in many places in Guangdong, many hotel policies have also become stricter.

Xiaosi, who passed through Shenzhen Bay Port on January 12, is expected to return to Yangjiang, Guangdong. She is assigned to a hotel in Dongguan for isolation.

Xiaosi told the 01 reporter that although the hotel "nominally prohibits takeout", it still allows them to buy daily necessities through Meituan.

Shenzhen's epidemic prevention policy is changing at any time

Recently, with the outbreak of epidemics in various parts of Guangdong, the isolation policy is changing at any time, and some Hong Kong people's plans to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year with their families have encountered variables.

Xiao Si mentioned that she originally planned to go to Shenzhen on January 12 for 14-day quarantine to ask the staff how to understand the epidemic prevention policy, and then return home for home quarantine, but due to the outbreak in Guangdong, she still had to undergo 7 days of quarantine after returning to Yangjiang. Centralized quarantine, "New Year's Eve may be spent alone in isolation".

Mr. Lin, who successfully passed the border on January 8, said that many Hong Kong people did not understand the epidemic prevention policy, and he himself learned about the changes in the epidemic prevention policy by asking more epidemic prevention staff.

He also mentioned that his hometown is in Guangdong. At first, he thought that he would "be quarantined for another 7 days", but later found that as long as the community where he lives in his hometown is willing, he can adopt the method of self-monitoring for 7 days and go home as scheduled for the Chinese New Year.

Regarding the frequent changes in the epidemic prevention policy, he said, "If you ask more, you will not be wrong."

Mr. Lin introduced that he was assigned to a hotel in Longgang District, which cost only 270 yuan a night. The space is spacious and take-out is allowed, but the equipment is relatively old.

He felt overall satisfied at first, but after three days of staying, the glass door of the bathroom suddenly burst, causing him to be injured.

After he reported to the hotel, he was arranged to upgrade the room and compensate for the three-day room fee. The hotel also presented him with a fruit basket as an apology.

"It's a bit frustrating to have this kind of thing happen during the quarantine period," said Mr. Lin, but then he thought about it, the hotels were all expropriated by the government to become anti-epidemic hotels. .
