i booked panda hotel, how far is it to the nearest mrt?

Did you negotiate?  I'll go for 2.55 if changing RM5000, well, just HKD150 more, but good for 2 meals...  Anyway, if it's HKD100 to < RM40, consider good already.

Not all shuttle buses go to both ferry terminals. Their routes are very specific. Which casino's shuttle bus that you plan to take? Fyi, Venetian and Galaxy have shuttle buses departing to both terminals.

So far I never purchase ticket ferry online and never got a problem, but be there earlier since there is the morning crowd.

What do you plan to do at Sands? If not gambling, just skip Sands (nothing interesting) and Fisherman's Wharf (very deserted and waste of time).

To move between taipa and mainland, these casinos have shuttles connections:
venetian-sands
mgm-city of dreams
galaxy-star galaxy

So from wynn's head across the road to MGM for sight-seeing, then take bus to COD. COD-Venetians-Galaxy are connected by shuttle service too, or just walk.

where is Kwong Lun?? it's Kwun Tong?

in the first place, which type of transportation u plan to take to ur hotel? which hotel u live in? my suggestion is if u travel alot on MTR, better get the Octopus card or Airport Express travel pass.

MTR is more convenient. if u plan to take MTR, u gt 2 option. use Octopus card and travel to the station nearby ur hotel OR use Airport Express travel pass to the station nearby ur hotel. u can make use of the free airport express shuttle as well it travel between HK or Kowloon station, major hotels n railway interchanges.

if ur hotel is far away or nt walking distance from the MTR station but is listed as the service area for the free shuttle bus, u can opt to sit the shuttle because it stop in front of the entrance of the hotel.

There is actually two panda hotel

one is hotel one is hostel..

Hotel is very far, located tsuen wan but the panda hostel is located kowloon

hahaha.. China and their pandas lol

airport express tourist card cant be topup like normal octopus but its included 3 days unlimited mrt ride
stop at Kowloon and Hongkong Station are the main stations

2 more days at HK.... and few more shopping trip before go back home
today can see the sun already... without jacket can walk around....

pass thru charterhouse hotel today.... that area is not for shopping mania....

I can't find a good place for shopping there...

i believe there no need to get data simcard.... there a lots of place with free wifi... even in cheap hotel.

for map, just grab some in the airport after the customs... there is also hk360 magazine...

for gps... install sygic and download hong kong map..

with all that... :-) you won't lost...

airport express card can be topup after the 3rd day of unlimited ride.. after top up.. jz like the octopus card. u can get bek the refund plus the deposit..

T&C:

7. The Pass may be kept as a souvenir after use or returned to any Airport Express Customer Service Centre for the HK$50 refundable deposit and any remaining added stored value(3)
8. Value can be added to the Pass at any time to pay for travel on other transport or travel on days outside the 3 days free MTR travel or for use at locations displaying the Octopus logo.

(3)Refund of the deposit is subject to the deduction of any negative value or payment for damage to the Pass. If the remaining value stored on the Pass exceeds HK$500, it will be returned to the MTR Headquarters for processing. Customers may be required to cover any charges this may incur.
