I will be travelling to Macau on 3 Apr and coming back from HK on 8 Apr.
my flight will arrive in Macau 6pm+..
i do not know if I should stay 1 night in Macau or 2 nights as my flight reaching so late on the 1st day. is there a lot of attractions/ food to explore in Macau? Any advice bro and sis?

Thanks.

Plan to go to HK during Chinese New Year. Is it good idea ?

Always check the weather.

The rides 90% will be closed if there is slight lightning.
Therefore will be wasting time and money..

i think tsim sha shui is convinient ,gonna find a room which cost around 60-70usd

through agoda perhaps.

travelling period : 19feb 2013-24feb 2013


Thanks to the Thread starter , northesian , pm me so much info about all about honkong , the facebook page is informative . kudos to that .

for 2 person room? if yes, then golden crown guest house might suit your expected cost...
is next to TST mrt station.. good location.. but it fully booked quite fast... you may request for quotation thru their website

thanks for the info . try to reserve now

Take bus.. is very cheap and just outside citygate mall... ask the citygate mall concierge they will show you where the bus stand is... the airport is ard 15mins away.. can see stewardess if you are lucky.

I see. Thanks for the information.

hehe booked mine with the cotai view =)!!!


is this cheap? can it be shared between a couple devices if i were to hotspot from my iphone 5?

and HK wall socket is the same as malaysia's? and is it convenient to charge our phones? iphone really can drain
by half a day

what do you mean can try? what's wrong?

booked already

not sure how's your budget.

my trip is for 3 ppl - staying at kimberley hotel ( near nathan road ) got promotion deluxe free 1 bed you can search )


and guys,
anyone stayed in kimberley hotel before? airport transfer not included and they charge HK 130 i think per person.
2 of us will arrive same time and myself will arrive a few hours later.
which is the most convenient for us? as different time arrival cant taxi pool together

thanks

It depends on you... there is alot of foods and you only have one stomach... is better to stay for another for exploration... for me except the egg tarts (margaret's cafe) other recommended from food blog is overrated... esp the pork chop bun at Tai Lei Loi Kei.. for me is not that good...

as for me, I will take Bus A21 from airport to Hung Hom station which will passby Mong Kok, TST and TST east... its HKD33

Plan to stay in Harbour hotel. Anyone stay there before? comments?

Dear all,

Need some assistance on some inputs for HK trip.

i) When is the best time to visit HK?
ii) Where has better hotel rates? (Kowloon area)?
iii) Tips on dos and don'ts?

...sorry if I'm being to vague.

and thank you for your assistance.

Me currently is surveying hotel for next year trip.
If hotel standard seem harbour hotel cheaper compare other but the room size is small. Read from tripadvisor.

eg family type for 3 ppls, less than rm2k, 4nite:
harbour hotel: room size is about 14sqm
casa hote: room size is 21sqm

-- i might not suppose to ask this question here,
but since im in HK now, i think its quite appropiate to ask here rather than gadget forum..

i surveying galaxy note 2,coz i heard hk sell electronic things cheaper.
along jordan rd i found a shop sell for 4200-4900hkd
but along sai yeung choi all shop sell at 5698hkd

my question
-is that good price (4200hkd-4900hkd) is really good deal?- means, do i need to beware of SCAM in hk electronic shops juz because they selling below market price?
-most of them say that the guarante is one year Samsung hk/china (i tought samsung implement international waranty?)
-do you hv any particular shop that u recomend to buy such gadget?
-any other stuff that worth to buy all the way from HK- since it offer really good price?

1) I know someone bought note1 in china, ended up... high quality fake.
2) No international warranty for phone/camera (unless u wan grey unit).
3) If buy from official samsung's hk, the price will be the same in msia after conversion.
4) The oni advantage, u get 32G+LTE options (LTE phone make sure is 2600MHz + 1800MHz).
5) Learn how to read android's setting/about page. Dont get con for 16Gb/32Gb confusion.
---
if u dont mind no warranty, 32Gb + LTE is a good choice
and worst thing happen... just pay for the repair fee
---
if u dont wan LTE, msia 16Gb selling rm1799 (2years warranty)... and 32Gb oso
(im not HP seller, PM me if u wan to know which shop selling cheap2)

i would say very risky to buy in other country. I personally felt that China influx in HK really worries the ppl regarding fake goods circulating in the country.

My ex manager from HK once told me that he almost got scammed. Shop offer to sell him Iphone 3G, everything looks genuine include warranty card etc.

When he wanna pay, they swapped the unit into fake one. Luckily his son noticed that. Made police report and the shop got closed.

He telling me its common nowadays in HK.

Need seeking advice here.
I read through the thread here and everyone has different needs and requirement.

I need to look for affordable guest house or hostel in hong kong (5 days 4 night) and Macau (1 night) . Any recommendation ?

Thanks.
