May I know what branded item is famous and cheap in Hong Kong ??
*
Handbags

For those branded clothes / shoes / bags, you name it then most of them are cheaper than M'sia.

And they have some brands that we don't have it here, i.e agnès b, fion

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? sad.gif

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.

I nid help on planning the HK and Macau trip >.<
It is urgent bcos the trip is on 5th May - 10th May 2011..

I had a problem here, we book 5 day accommodation in HK, so we might nid to rush to go to Macau in the morning and back to HK at nite..

Is it possible?

The first day will be checking in hostel in Mong kok area and will walk around the area.. Avenue of Star, The Peak?
2nd day will go to Ocean Park for whole day.. (Not going to Disneyland)
3rd day might be going to Macau for whole day..?
4th day?
5th day shop around HK..
6th day preparing to go back..

How about the wax museum if we want to go there as well?
Please I need ur help on this.. I totally had no idea, bcos Im not a good planner and my travel frens push all the work to me >.<

Thank you.  smile.gif

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  smile.gif
*
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?
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
I think u can skip Citygate or Wong Tai Shin. Can go to ur hostel strait away then leave ur baggage there so that you can go for lunch around ur hostel.
Arrival -> Hostel -> Lunch -> Check in -> Walk around Mongkok -> 7.30p.m Avenue of star -> Dinner at Temple street


Day 2 (Fri) Mongkok area Breakfast (Char Chan Teng) -> Ocean Park -> Dinner -> Rest early and preparing for next day adventure XD
This is ok. You can buy package of Ocean Park which consist of return bus fares and entry tickets at Central / Admiralty.


Day 3 (Sat) TST area or Macau Breakfast? -> Macau -> Dinner at Macau or HK?
I suggest Dinner at Macau. Try their Portuguese food!

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
Dim sum? Lin Heung Tea House

Day 6 (Tue) Breakfast at 7.30am(can make it?) -> HKIA (10 am departure time)
You should have ur breakfast at the airport as you have to reach HKIA by 8a.m!

*
yes. try to avoid going the peak on Fri - Sunday. I tried once on Sunday and it took me around 1 hour to get into the tram!

so you may consider to change Day 4 program into Day 5.

From the review, average waiting time for you to be seated is 30 mins, So like have to wait quite long lolx haha
But its ok as long as the food is nice and cheap haha.. so worth to wait lolx
*
it depends.

I been there around 8a.m and it was two of us only so we managed to get seated very fast. You got to move around and look for place to slot in, meaning that you got to share table with other people.

I have a question, How to go to the dim sum restaurant using MTR? Exit Central or Sheung Wan station?
*
Sheung Wan is easier and nearer.
U can get the map from google map 1st.

Sorry to hear abt the bad experience, care to elaborate further? Going to HK in 2 weeks time, might want to buy some scallop.  Previous trip I bought some scallop at Tai O, consider cheap and not bad.  This time will go with my aunt to buy at local shop.

One thing I do check is the unit of measurement, in HK and China, one ''kati'', could very well means 500gram only.

If you know how to read in Mandarin, I can give u my sharing link.

I also kena conned b4 during my 1st visit there but not in HK but Macau..Be extremely careful esp when tourist guide bring you to any medicine stores or factory.. This is almost sumilar to Bangkok Gems store scam.

I got tricked buying herbs that can cure Disbetes...Well, it was a good herbs but I din ask for so much..I wanted ~ RM100 or at that time ~ HK$300 but ended up forced to pay ~RM1.5K sigh..furthermore that was 16 yrs ago!
*
erm.. The whole group of us wasn't first timer to HK..
Actually it was my auntie and mom but I was there.
And yet my auntie worked in HK for 4 years 10++ years ago.

The amount involved was started from HKD 16k then we managed to minimize it until HKD 2k.
