The Peak <-- Please browse here for the peak details.

A little advice: Tourists travelling to HK, please be extra careful when taking taxi.
Be sure how much you've given the taxi drivers, esp when u give bigger notes like $500 or $1000. Some dishonest taxi drivers will trick and say that you've given them $50/$100 when you actually give them $500/$1000. This happens to me and my sis's fren when we were in HK. Try to act fierce (at least talk louder than the taxi driver) & insist the amount you've givenn if this really happens.

in chinese?? sorry im banana

anyway what u guys think of my itinerary okay or?

u can click "ENGLISH" for english version

1) Peak - Hiking Trails, Sunset, Hong Kong Night View (Can view the other side of Symphony of Light)

2) @Peak hv 2 building complex just across the road called Sky Terrace & Peak Galleria.
Sky Terrace - Tram Station & buy souvenir here, better than rip off Ladies Street.
Sky Terrace - Madame Tussaud Wax House, 2 floors... Bruce Lee is FOC
Sky Terrace - Restaurant, some of it is facing harbor... best place for candle light dinner.
Sky Terrace 428 - Need ticket! Roof top where u can view Hong Kong at highest place. (8pm!)
Peak Galleria - Shopping Complex, Playground, Dam Lookout Point.

3) I assume u will be arriving at Macau and depart at Hong Kong Airport.
@Macau - City of Dream show (12pm-8pm) MOP50, River Canal at the Venetian Macau, Macau Tower, Ruins of St. Paul's. [Casino provide Free Mineral's Water and Shutter Bus. U can travel from Macau to Taipa or almost all other casino for free]. For 3persons better use taxi, its cheap coz Macau is small hehe
@Hong Kong - Ferry to Hong Kong/Kowloon? Where u stay? dont take wrong ferry~
For shopping and others, please read HK Guide, look for Shopping Malls and Eat.

4) Mongkok is where are all phone/toy street, ladies street, shoe street & temple street located.

5) Lan Kwai Fong and SOHO @Centra-Mid Levels Escalator is actually few block away. U can goto SOHO then LKF. Ohh hopefully u prepare at least HKD500/pax for your dinner here

i doubt u able to visit all the place... since u r going to macau too.
my advise choose wat u like more, skip the rest
[best to buy a good shoe, u goin to walk alot]

thanks for the info!

we are arriving at HK airport ( chek lap? )

should do HK straight then 1 night macau then airport? or go Macau mid trip? then have to check out HK hotel then check in again? go Macau carrying those luggage would be troublesome or?? the hotel in HK will let us put our luggage one night?

I heard we can pre purchase ticket from DingDing and asked them to delivered to da hotel...
Anyone did it b4?

Ticket for Ngong Ping 360, Ocean Park, Disney, Peak (Tram + Sky Terrace + Madame Tussaud)

any1 stay this budget hotel b4 Golden Wave Hotel? How is the condition? Thanks.

please head to trip advisor for all hotel/hostel review...
http://www.tripadvisor.com.my/Hotel_Review...-Hong_Kong.html

Just to update...
DingDing will give 1Crystal + 1Normal Voucher, once you reach NP360 to exchange the voucher to ticket.
they will give u a special wrist band for crystal ride.
It is a 2ways crystal ride

Highly recommend to take crystal, you can reduce the queuing time a-lot...
But the scenery is nothing special, just sea, hill and some hiking trails at the bottom.

Read already seem limited photo. Is the room same as what seen in picture?
Have google some hotel or budget hotel not same as what shown in website.

ur da man!

thanks so much for your info and effort!

been there once still better not right??

sounds good! we probably do lan kwai fong other nights cause flight on friday in 8 am so dont want to be so tired or miss the flight!
probably swap with tuesday? the disneyland?

where is a good yum cha? and char chan teng? i mean near which place/day i can fit them it?

i think it is better to move Monday to Thursday...
tat mean u hv to do Disney first and NP360 on last day.

and if u wan, u still can get drunk on Wednesday and still make it to NP360 the next day...
fyi, NP360 is really small and simple, u probably need 2hours max to visit all.

the other advantage is Wifey Biscuit will still be fresh when u touchdown KL...

cha chan teng, hemm... there r too many... just like mamak stall in MY, just choose one
if u r picky, u can head to the infamous Kam Wah Cafe Polo Bun, Prince Edward, Mongkok 3pm
>> note: i didnt try this cafe, so no comment... btw they said Dan Nai is better in HK than Macau, i didnt try tat either

Hi forumer

I have few question, I already book flight, tour guide, disneyland ticket and hotel next month 16 Dec until 20dec going to HK. I have few question, I hope some one can help me on this

1. weather for that month is it cold?
2. may i know estimate budget for shopping and food
and is it enough if i bring rm 5000 for shopping and food?

Just buy the ticket in Guangzhou , easier ....

I did this last time and didn't face any problem

the wind can be very chilling, so bring a jacket/sweater. i even bought a snow cap at mongkok to protect my ears.

thank for sharing information

for how many person and days? Shopping depend on your budget. the last time i went i used rm6000 for 2 person inclusive everything except hotel stay for one week

p/s: i shop alot
