your itenery very pack. Do consider travering time too..
It seem like you are trying to draft out one as the tour agent did.

Advise you to concentrate on your pirority places.
Have you been to HK? Macau?

btw, 1st day Symphony of lights start at 8pm. You shouldnt miss

I think your itinerary is just fine, not too packed.

Maybe you want to spend some time in HK Island on Day 6 and include Citygate Outlet on Day 4?

yup, this is first time to HK and Macau.
will reach symphony of light at 6.30pm and get myself ready before 8pm.
still trying to figure out which location i should not miss...

Hi all, appreciate if you could comment on my initial itinerary as below.
13 July to 17 July ~ 5D4N

Day 1 > Arrive via KL take taxi to Dorsett Seaview Yaumatei, check in approximately 2pm. Walk around mongkok and nathan road, mostly shopping. (at nite plan to go temple street and nearby nite market) Guys, can anyone recommend me a good dinner place (medium budget, RM 200 & below for two) food can be tai chow or steambot, nearby the hotel.

Day 2 > All out! Go to Ocean Park in the morning (check their website said no more 10% discount for entrance fee edi.. until june 2010 oni), afternoon around 4-5pm go to The Peak, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong (on the way back maybe drop by lan kwai fong? )

Day 3 > Tung Chung CityGate Outlet (Half day enuff?) around 3pm go to avenue of stars and symphony of lights. Supper?

Day 4 > Disney Land (Morning till nite)

Day 5 > I need to reach HK Aiport around 4.30pm, my flight is around 6pm. Can let me know wutz d good dim sum or breakfast near the area?

I've been to HK before (8 yrs ago?!! ) Im still planning and things will go more detail once u guys help me out.. pls feel free to add in / slot in wherever is convenient, example destination A - B, on the way got good food or nice shopping place, please let me know! I heard that July is off season sale, should be nice bargain here n there.. crowded oso.. so all of u kind ppl out there please help me out with my simple itenary. Thanks in advance!

Just a suggestion:

Day 1 > you may go to avenue of stars & symphony of lights during evening

Day 3 > you may go to Ngong Ping (half day is enuff) then, you can go to Tung Chung CityGate. Cause to get to Ngong Ping, you must go to Tung Chung. So you will not waste anytime.

Currently, there is a promotion from MTR whereby when you buy a one day tourist travel pass. You will get the discount for Ngong Ping cable car, DisneyLand, Ocean Park & Peak Tram with Peak entrance. Check this: http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/whatsnew/valuepack1003.html

If you prefer scenery:
-The Peak
-Laser Show

If you prefer shopping & eating local food:
-Ladies Street(Tung Choi Street)
-Longham Place

New place for photo taking:
Heritage 1881(along Tsim Sha Tsui)

Since Citygate is very near to the airport, you may go there after you check out the hotel on Day 5. Then you can go somewhere else on Day 3.

Hi all bros and sisters,

I'm going to Hong Kong end of this month, this will be my first time to HK. Therefore, i have tried to read as much info as i can, briefly browse through all the pages in this thread, find it very useful especially on hotel and places of interest to cover. and some food stuff also.

However, i need some help on hotel recommendation after i shortlisted based on the what i found in this thread.

Please let me know which of the below is most convenient for travelling purpose and of course cost effective.

One more info that i need but hardly can find from this thread is what is the most convenient + cost effective way to travel from Airport to my hotel. I will be carrying 1 hand and 1 big luggage. Meant to continue my flight to the states after stop over for 5 days.

thanks so much!

a. Shortlisted hotel - lean towards Eaton since from the photos the room looks better, but if can get cheaper room then better since wont spend much time in room
1. Eaton hotel (HKD 770)
2. The Cityview (HKD 670)
3. Royal View (HKD 670)
4. Dorsett Seaview Hotel (HKD 480)
5. Metropark Kowloon (HKD 680)

b. best and cost effective way from Airport to Nathan Rd. will be carrying one ~ 20kg big luggage and one standard hand carry size luggage.

c. from the thread i read alot recommended places, i have copy down some info. but since i will be there only 3-4 days, can tell me what's the top 5 landmark place that i must go? after this only i will check out other places listed in this thread.

You can take HK Airport Express (link 1, link 2) from the airport to Central and take MTR from there.

For the top 5 landmark place, it depends on your preference but you can check these out: - Hong Kong: 10 Things to Do in 24 Hours

Alternatively, you can plan your itinerary using Discover Hong Kong Itinerary Planner.
