  You can go to our shop in Mongkok.
  You can also buy online, but it would charge extra 4% credit card
processing fee. And we could deliver to your hotel FREE if you buy

Thanks.

Hope you can share some info on local food, travelling tips, itinerary, hotel for those who will be traveeling soon. My trip is 5d4n, KL-HK (reach at 10am+), Mcaau-KL (leaving at 9pm flight)
Wish to visit all the above parks if possible.

Btw, West Hotel at Yau Ma Tei quoted HKD1200 for their family room. Anyone stay here before? Hotel wise and location is it good? Compare to Casa Hotel?

Welcome your recommendation and feedback.

my aunt stayed at west hotel be4
i also initially want to book there but their family room isn't available in the "booking" section
need to special request from the website...where did u get the HKD1200 price from?

MTR to Admiralty Station, then bus no. 629.

the bus no.629 will stop at ocean park?(last stop)
and when go back...it will stop at admiralty station and won't continue?
its quite frustrating to take bus especially when u go to other state...let alone other country
cuz u dn't know the area very well and u won't know when to stop...unless that is of course the last stop(when it stop thn everyone goes down)

AA is at T2 - Terminal 2.

MTR free, are you sure?
http://www.mtr.com.hk/jplanner/flash_eng/i...&eid=5&x=22&y=5

Airport Express Travel Pass
https://www.paydollar.com/b2c2/AELControlSe...eng&catid=10000

Airport Express Round Trip Ticket
https://www.paydollar.com/b2c2/AELControlSe...eng&catid=10020

Tourist Day Pass
https://www.paydollar.com/b2c2/AELControlSe...elshop〈=eng

details here
http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/fares_tickets/index.html

Octopus - need to buy at HKD150 - 50 deposit, 100 credit... if you use until the value is negative, you need to topup. 50 deposit is refundable (minus hkd9 is return in less than 3 months)

If you plan to stay more than 2 days, better get the octopus rather than get tourist day pass. Octopus can be use in most places like 7-11.

http://www.octopus.com.hk/get-your-octopus...s/en/index.html

Octopus is like TnG in malaysia.
*
yes..its stated free if uses MTR and not airport express(octopus card)
yes...i know its T2 but my question is...the airport stated there is actually which terminal?

HK airport only have 2 terminal... are you refering to gate number?

Who have android phone with NFC can use this software to check Octopus balance.

yes..i know...the thing is "airport stop" for MTR is 1 stop only..right?
but i mean that stop is T1 or T2?...cuz i'm not sure abt HK airport...if its like KL or sabah one...T1 and T2 is at different place and needed to transfer to the other terminal/use different transportation
so..abt the airport express and MTR from airport...is there difference? and is it free?

HK Airport Terminal 2 is actually a check in hall without any gates. Terminal 2 is just opposite Terminal 1 and you will have to come up to Terminal 1 to board your plane anyway. You exit via the right door instead of the left for Terminal 2 if you take the Airport express train.

edit: now i understand...airport to tsing yi is HKD60 thn the rest is free...right?

You mean fares for the Airport express? I have never disembarked at Tsing Yi. I think its about HKD 80 for Kowloon station and HKD100 for Hong Kong station. I am not sure about the exact fare because I use the Octopus card since I travel to HK every month. You can buy a return ticket as well. You can even get on the train first and pay when you get off.

i am going from airport to yau ma tei
so it showed me to change in 2 lane
at 1st i thought there are 2 type...1 is airport express and the other is MTR

Where exactly in Yau Ma Tei are you going to?  Have a look at Airport Bus No. A21 bus route - might be a more direct option than taking Airport Express + MTR.

There's a screen displaying the name of bus stop, quite easy to take the bus if it does run along your destination.
*
hmm...i'm really no confident in taking bus in foreign country...even different state also headache.
better take MTR
BTW how much was the bus ride from airport?
i'm actually going to yau ma tei's casa hotel...its just beside the MTR exit

Bus fare HKD 33.

Bus A21, bus stop no 9 - name of bus stop: Man Ming Lane, Nathan Road.  From the bus stop, walking distance to Casa Hotel: 3 mins, 240meter (if cross the road thru proper traffic light)

Frankly, I'm not confident to take bus in other states in Malaysia too.  BUT, HK buses are ok, coz mostly have screen display of bus stop's name onboard, and there's website to check the route and plan beforehand.  Nowadays, can even get mobile app for HK bus.

i searched around..it stopped just across the street of the hotel
i saw it from the hotel's review there
bus also uses octopus right?...just get from airport

Yes, octopus card from the airport - good for bus, MTR, tram, 7-11, movie tickets etc.

If you are considering to take bus instead, you can use Google Map to locate the bus stop and the hotel.
*
tram also can use huh
but tram planning on buying tix from ding ding that is 1 set with madam tussads
i think bus i think gonna use it to go to the hotel, the other is to ocean park..pretty much thats it..others are MTR
am going with a group of 10 ppl...and i'm the only guide...lol...so have to research everything

I'd suggest to pay cash for the airport bus, one person tell the driver total pax and pay the total bus fare, no need everyone take out octopus card and tap.  Afterall, for airport bus, the fare is the same whether cash or octopus. 

Every time I take the airport bus, I'd like to pay cash too, coz I find it easier just to drop the exact amount (into the box) and settle my baggage on the rack provided, rather than to tap the octopus card, keep/hold the card then settle the baggage.

The octopus card you can buy at the Yau Ma Tei MTR station later.

Group of 10 ppl, no jokes ah.... no wonder you headache ah...

ya....initially is was 8...4 was me and my family...another 4 is my uncles family....thn recently add another 2 which is my uncle's relative
and none of them knows how to navigate around HK
all rely on me
so 10 ppl is HKD330

casa i stay before..i think for me both ok lor, just that casa looks nicer compare to golden wave hehe..
i bought from ding ding but without meal coupons...not sure if its worthy but if you were to be in disneyland for the whole day, maybe you can try coz the foods & drinks in disneyland is expensive... smile.gif anyway, a local there told me that we can sneak some bread in the bag while going in (if really wanna save coz the foods are really expensive lar)... they will check ur bag at the entrance so probably will need a jacket / scarf to cover up ur bread or any foods in the bag smile.gif  mineral water 500ml was hkd25-hkd 30 there...  sweat.gif
*
for the hotel...toilet equally small or what...saw many negative comment abt the size of the toilet
am staying in family room BTW but theres never a pic of it

most of the ppl going to disneyland will probably stay whole day(until 8PM) cuz thats when the fireworks is
i think am gonna buy the food, just not sure which is more worthed
mineral water also need money?....i saw few page ago or is it previous thread saying the water inside is free

for casa im not sure bout the family room..coz i stayed double room..standard budget hotel in hk room size...

for golden wave, 3-beds bedroom is ok ok not too "small"..basically if looking for bigger toilet i think have to go to those hotel with 4 stars above i guess...coz hotel in hk is all quite small smile.gif

firework is at 9pm if not mistaken, when i was there last year halloween, ends at 10pm++ with many shows for halloween..worthy but very super crowded ... foods how much if u take with the ticket from ding ding? yes mineral water need money..nt sure if got free but i really dont see any free water in hk disneyland smile.gif
*
ya...hotel i know its small...same like SG
hmm..9PM huh...saw the schedule, said 8PM
maybe the time u go got special, thats why abit late

i go to Ding Ding website...the price for food coupon doesn't make sense...more expensive than original price
so i search back this pic from previous thread
and it doesn't make sense theres no free water there when they forbid u bringing in water(same case as universal studio SG)
