is it true that Crystal Cabin customers do not need to queue?
from here http://www.np360.com.hk/en/cable-car/#crystal, it seems only private and sky lounge customers dont need to queue.

will be heading to hong kong end of next week and have plans to visit guangzhou and shengzhen, is there any visa issues that I should be aware of?

My friend from HK told me that I could obtain the visa to enter GuangZhou from HK so there is no need for me to apply for chinese visa here in Malaysia.

Anyone has similar experiences?

you need visa if you want to enter china (besides macau and HK). you can apply visa when you are there

but....pardon me, but i always don't understand why don't want to apply visa 1st in malaysia if it's a planned trip?

why must waste time and apply when you are on holiday?

It is better to apply VISA at here, it would take u half day or a day to get a Visa in HK, why waste the time while u are travelling?

er... for other govt servant i agree la (besides KWSP and LHDN)

malaysia custom immigration (or whatever name it is) IMO is the best among the world

so efficient when at enter and exit malaysia border with the electronic system

also i think, malaysia passport approval time is the fastest among the world? Try apply a passport at small town, i think from the moment you enter the building until you exit with your shiny new passport takes only 1 hours if u go early biggrin.gif

in china? some people apply 3 years liao still belum dapat lol

Hi,

Will be flying to Macau this 7th Jul. 2012. Would like to seek for your advice on my itinery? Could you please advise on some of the days which we do not know what to do.

Could you please enlighten me? My priority is food actually.


7th jul flight ak1058 - depart 6.30am - arriving 10.15am macau coming back AK1057 - depart macau 9.10pm, aariving kl 1am

Day 1 10:15am Reach Macau Airport Lunch at somewhere nearby Golden Wave Hotel -义顺牛奶、 澳洲牛奶、富临渔港囍临门 2:00pm Check in Hotel 2:30pm Prince Edward MTR station, Kowloon Visits at Fa Yuen Street (Prince Edward) > Argyle Centre (Prince Edward) > Ladies Street > Sai Yeung Coi Street Mongkok Station > Ladies Street > Sai Yeung Coi Street Walk along the Nathan Road then walk all the way down to TST. In TST, walk around Granville Street, Canton Road, Harbour City, Ocean Terminal, Star Ferry, Avenue of Stars, Clock Tower, Heritage 1881
8:00pm Symphony of Lights at Avenue of Stars (starts at 8pm) How to get to Symphony of Lights. You can take the MTR and get to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. Get off the station through Exit E and cross the road. Walk 150 meters to Salisbury Road. Then use subway to cross Salisbury Road. When you exit the subway, walk a little along Salisbury Garden until you reach Avenue of Stars. A walk will take 5-6 minutes - Victoria Harbourfront at Tsim Sha Tsui is located next to Clock Tower and Avenue of Stars - MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit J, and follow signs to the Avenue of Stars and Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront
8:30pm Dinner 10:00pm Back to hotel

Day 2 Central - Eat & shopping Madame Tussaud


Day 3 Disneyland 8:30am Breakfast : Australian Dairy Company 9:30am MTR Jordan -> MTR Central Station (then Interchange to Hong Kong Station) Just walk, no need to take train to interchange Sunny Bay Station (Tung Chung Line) -> MTR Disneyland Resort Station 10:30am Disneyland 9:00pm Dinner -any idea? 10:00pm Lam Kwai Fong MTR Central Station Exit D2. Walk along Theatre Lane and uphill to D'Aguilar Street. About 5 minutes walk to Lan Kwai Fong.

Day 6 Macau - Arrived Macau Airport, taxi to hotel - 大三巴牌坊 - 钜记 (able to find some souveniors, cheap clothes/bags? And for dessert, 肉干,义顺双皮奶) Kui Kee only sells snacks and there are no clothes/bags sold in their branches. For all the food souvenirs like almond biscuits, all kind of meat jerky and also peanut candy, you can find on the street uphill to Ruins of St. Paul. There are lots of brands along the street, e.g. Kui Kee, Tsui Heung Yuen, and a lot more.. For dessert from Yi Shun steamed milk custard, you can try this branch : 新馬路381號 - Lunch at 黄枝记 for famous wan tan mee - Back hotel, take a break etc - Shutter bus to City of Dream (Venetian Hotel & HardRock Hotel is walking distance) - Take cab to 官也街, try famous 水蟹粥,木糖布丁,大利来猪仔包 - Shutter bus / cab back to City of Dream, then Venetian Hotel Lord Stow's Portuguese Egg Tart - Back to Hotel - New YaoHan Shopping complexe, 渔人码头 - Dinner (either new Yao Han or find where can get nice portugeuse foods For Portuguese cuisine, you can try the one I featured in my food blog, it's called Restaurante ESCADA. - Wynn Hotel, Casino, Pool Light Show, Photo taking at 新葡京casino
