Hi,

I will be going back malaysia and maybe will need transit in hk for the night. I wanna ask if the airport in HK got close? Cos maybe thought can wait in the airport until my transit flight.

I now the airport in Japan got close after 12 so cant do that. ANyone can help?

did anyone travel from KUL- HK-TWN-HK-KUL before?

the temperature would be around 25 degree celsius....

just imagine the coldest temperature in genting....

i guess should be ok....its not winter season edi....

i'll be going to hk end of oct/ early november. would like recommendation on budget hotels in hk? tst area.

friend what is ur budget for your budget hotels?
If you are looking for something less than Rm100 per night hotel in TST area, I would say it is sort of impossible.

Anyone heard about the Nuclear Radiation hitting HK yesterday, saw the news about this? is it safe, because i'm going tomorrow morning.

Anyone can update?

To be very honest, if it isn't safe to go HK then God bless Jap. Jap would have fallen if Hk isnt safe to go.
I am going hk again soon.

God Bless Us.

if it affected hong kong, whole japan will strongly contaminated by radiation

Madame Tussaud's Wax Musuem Hong Kong is located at The Peak, near Central.

Besides visiting the Wax Musuem, you can also visit the The Peak and view the scenic HK view from the hill.

Best Time to Visit: Late evening/Night. Can view beautiful skyline of HK.
Length of Visit: 1-2 hours.

More Details:
The Peak : http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/2_1.asp
Madame Tussaud's Wax Musuem : http://www.madametussauds.com/HongKong/en/...it/Default.aspx

Thanks for the info..
Then we might go to the peak on first day..
Is it possible to go to Avenue of Star before 8pm?

Fyi, we will be checking in hostel on 1-2pm so will go to the peak right after checking in?
8pm will have the Symphony of light is it?

1. You can go to the Avenue of Star anytime you like, be there by 7:45 or earlier if possible. If you go there late, there will be no more seats, you have to stand throughout the show.

2. If you are tired, you can rest 1st before proceeding to The Peak and Wax Museum.

3. Symphony of Light starts at 8pm sharp. Details : http://www.tourism.gov.hk/symphony/english...ls/details.html

yes, 8pm have the Symphony of light. quite nice. but u should go to avenue of star early a bit because many ppl waiting for the light. i suggest u go to the peak at night. because it will be nicer than afternoon.

Yea.. I think will go to the peak at nite possibly will reach thr 6 pm..
Will go for Symphony of light the other day since the hostel is quite near to TTS..

It is possible.
I suggest you to look at the map of HK so that you can plan your trip better. You still have a month to go and to plan, dont worry!

My suggestion to you:
Day 1 Check in Hostel -> Reach Avenue of Star by 7.30p.m to watch the show at 8p.m -> Temple street -> rest
Day 2 Full Day Ocean Park
Day 3 Macau for whole day
Day 4 Focus on Hk Island, you can use Ricksaw Bus to travel, try out the tram. HK island attractions : Western Market -> Central -> Wan Chai Pier -> North Point -> Go to the peak around 4p.m + Wax Museum (then you can have a view of day time + sun set + night) -> Causeway bay (nice to shop at night)
Day 5 Focus on Kowloon Area -> shopping spree? -> the latest / hottest place to go Sky100 http://www.sky100.com.hk/ (which only launch on 17th Apr 2011)
Day 6 go home

Upon reaching HKIA roughly 11am, we might go to the citygate factory outlet for sightseeing, and hopefully will buy something lolx so around 1pm will go to mongkok check in..

I plan to go to Madame Tussaude on Day 5, since it is monday, so it will be less crowded.. No nid to wait so long for the tram? or is it possible to go after Ocean Park(Day 2)? which 1 will be better?
About the Wong Tai Shin Temple, when is the best time to go there?
And also Ngong Ping, is it recommend to go?

Thanks

1. Tram's frequency is 10-15 minutes. Source : http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/2_1.asp

2. You might be tired after whole day in Ocean Park. The Wax Museum is open from 10:00AM - 10:00PM daily (last admission: 09:45PM). The Peak however is open up to 12:00AM.

3. The best time to visit Wong Tai Shin's temple should be between 09:00AM-12:00PM from my experience.

4. Ngong Ping has two attractions, Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha. The air is cool and fresh. The lushes green view are rather soothing. Pretty suitable for 1st time visitor to HK.

If you plan to go Citygate mall, u can go Ngong Ping as well. They are located at the same area.

It is best to go to Wong Tai Shin Temple by 10a.m to avoid crowd

u can opt to go to the Peak after ocean park but i bet u will be tired after a day in Ocean park

I read a guide from some website, it says better not going to the peak during weekend to avoid crowds.. Is it true?
So I think will change to visit the Ngong Ping in the morning having lunch over there and go to citygate for 2 hours, and then heading to the peak around 4.30pm til 7pm.


Day 1 (Thur) HKIA (11 am arrival time) -> Citygate or Wong Tai Shin (optional) -> Mongkok area Lunch -> Check in Hostel (check in time 2 - 3 pm sad)-> Avenue of Star, Clock Tower -> Dinner at Temple Street -> Rest
Day 2 (Fri) Mongkok area Breakfast (Char Chan Teng) -> Ocean Park -> Dinner -> Rest early and preparing for next day adventure XD
Day 3 (Sat) TST area or Macau Breakfast? -> Macau -> Dinner at Macau or HK?
Day 4 (Sun) Breakfast (Any recommend?) -> Ngong Ping -> 11.30am Lunch -> Citygate -> The Peak + Sky Terrace + Wax Museum + Dinner (Expensive to have dinner over there?) -> Causeway Bay? Wanted to try out the HK Island Old Tram at nite? lolx
Day 5 (Mon) Breakfast Dim sum (Any recommend?) -> Shopping XD around Kowloon area, Esprit, HnM and going to visit new Sky100 lolx + Lunch + Dessert + Dinner -> Rest
Day 6 (Tue) Breakfast at 7.30am(can make it?) -> HKIA (10 am departure time)

Is it ok for my trip above?
on Day 5, I dun think we can shop for whole day lolx, might be going to other place as well, any recommendation?


Hmm, any recommend time slot for Wong Tai Shin Temple for my trip schedule?
Thanks

Not sure if this has been asked before, but which is the best prepaid mobile SIM to buy in HK, say for a few days of usage?

My main focus would be data, as I'd be bringing my iPad and also an Android phone, so I'd be using data intensively due to nature of work. Of voice voice calls and SMSs would be good to have to.

Please advice. Thanks.
