hi,im planning to hong kong this coming february..
i have booking airasia tickets on 5th february to 9th february
since im not going with travel agent and this is my 1st vacation to hong kong,i would like to know which place is must to visit and which hotel is cheap and of course,best quality

i have found these hotels that are suitable with my pocket

and i would like you guys to tell me atractive place around these hotels..
1. Anne Black Guest House - YWCA
Hong Kong
5 Man Fuk Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong
2. Harbour Plaza,
18 Tin Yan Road, Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, Hong Kong
i am a muslim so i would like to know muslim restaraunt around the hotels i've listed above.
and oh,i love to shopping so please let me know any shopping street(day or night) along with their adress okay? big thanks!

I will recommend you to stay at Anne Black Guest House 'coz it's far more convenient than the Harbour Plaza in Tin Shui Wai. Anne Black is located in Yau Ma Tei, which is very close (walking distance to shopping areas like Mongkok & Jordan, can even walk to Tsim Sha Tsui).
You can browse through my facebook page, I remember I've put a list of halal restaurants there and shopping info. Cheers~

Hi
It's me again thanks to all of you for your replya and advice. I would like to buy Master So (feng Shui Master) book for 2010 in English and his video if available. Can I find them in any book shop and are book shops commonly found anywhere in hong kong or have to go to a specific place
Thanks
Sorry for the late reply... I hope you haven't started your trip... You can get the So Man Fung 2010 fortune-telling book in any 7-11 or OK convenience stores. Or any book shops like Commercial Publisher, Joint Publisher, Page One...etc.

thanks! am reading it right now...
Even worst, sure alot of places renovating for CNY light...

I have one question, I'm thinking to go to one of the theme park in HK, either Disneyland or Ocean Park. At first I'm planning to go to Disneyland because of the christmas lights, but after knowing the christmas lights is only from november until 3rd of jan, kinda potong stim already..lol But still, I would like to hear you guy's opinion about it...

It depends on what kind of rides you like. If you prefer thrill rides, choose Ocean Park. If you prefer fancy rides, shows & tale-like environment, choose Disneyland...

Just got back from HK like 4 hours ago.
It was exceptionally cold this year, since I was also there in December last year. My skin is dry and red spots are popping up. Any remedies?
But the holiday was good

Aloe Vera gel is the best remedy~ Weather in Dec is not stable yet, sometimes cold sometimes very warm, so you're lucky to have a cold trip here~

just back from HK for Xmas
no fireworks though ... but then the crowd is really something
the spirit of xmas is great there
Yes I guess I've replied someone here that there is NO and NEVER had firework for Christmas in HK... There will be small fireworks for new year count-down only..
