Guys I've just saw news saying that NgongPing 360 cable car shut down for 2 mths. But the Ngong Ping remain business as usual. Can i still visit the place? Can I reach Giant Buddha?

That is an aweful long time, whole afternoon allocated for Macau Tower. Unless you plan to do their extreme activities, nothing much there. i suggest you head over to taipa for venetian/cod/galaxy. There is a Lord Stow's outlet at venetian, best egg tarts, go get 'em.

Thanks dude. Not planning any extreme activities. I don't explore much on Macau actually. Ill add them to my itinerary..

I check online and most of the hotel in Hong Kong is above RM1000 per night. So far the cheapest I found was RM600+. Anyone below RM200? Not need to be 3~4 star but definitely not those motel. As long as room is clean and secure.

Not so expensive la. Have u check www.agoda.com?

Just came back from HK yesterday. Casa hotel is really highly recommended The location was really superb. Just few shops away from Yau Ma Tei station. And in terms of the cleanliness i give the hotel 9/10. Looks very new to me. Definitely will stay there again. Behind the hotel is temple street and there is a quite famous clay pot rice there also. Need to wait for quite long queue. The only problem for this hotel is too small. I don't think can fit in more than 2 person IMO. The toilet is absolutely small also. I have to shower in front of my basin and next to me is the toilet bowl. Very small.

Yaya.. thats the one. 四季保籽饭.Should be something like that. Long long queue oh but luckily me and my gf just 2 person so very fast they can get me the table. But people inside there a bit lan si. Each pot cost around HKD60 drink is free.

hahahaha the toilet has always been the problem, u will find more toilet pictures of how small is it more than the actual pic of the room at tripadvisor lol.

However, glad its really good. coz i mostly will be taking Casa as well.

Mind share more of your trip?
*
Not sure what to share. HK is a well connected place. As long as you know the name of the place you want to go there is no way you will lost. Oh ya at the reception on 1st floor of Casa hotel there is many cards where you can take to enjoy certain discount like going to Madame you get 10 or 20% discount. Cant really remember.

Most important if you staying more than 3 days get yourself a Tourist Pass for MTR at HK airport. It cost you HKD 220 and when you return the card you will get back HKD 50. If you are going to Ngong Ping 360 and plan to ride crystal cable car it is shut off for maintenance 3mth since January.

If anyone of you guys here had iPhone or iPad can download this apps call MTR Mobile. Very convenient. It shows you the distance and price from 1 place to 1 place. And it also shows you from A to B where you need to change train. I used it all day long and its offline. Just be careful when it has updates you can't launch the apps till you update it. So be sure you update it before you go HK.
