hi guys. let's say i have one full day and maybe another half a day, what are the attractions that i should visit in HK?

was thinking about the peak, avenue of stars...mong kok...clock tower..anything else?

thanks! what if i am not interested in shopping? more interested in sight seeing seems like mongkok is not a must

thanks for the suggestions! nah will save the theme parks for another day. seems like i can cover most of the top attractions within 1.5 days then

now to figure out how to get around

but according to today's currency HKD280 is about RM111. Maybe about RM120 lar..

Hey. for the MTR, if i am just in hk for one day do i need to buy the octopus card? also how are the fares like for MTR? and for trams, can the octopus card be used or do i need to buy separate tickets?

Hmmm I think I will get th daily pass for less hassle thanks for the info!

By the way anybody has experience with the ferry terminals? I am coming over by Zhu hai and I want to head over to hong kong island (sheung wan MTR area). Anybody knows which ferry terminal has more crowd? The ferry bound for china HK terminal leaves at 8am. So if I take this ferry, am not sure whether it's faster (including the MTR ride to hk island) than I take the 9am ferry which leaves for HK Macau terminal.

hmmmm. how far is tsim sha tsui to central station ar? thinking which route could save me more time

huh? its across to HK island wor. got 4 stations i think.

thanks! seems like if i want to get the sheung wan i need to change stations at central?

Can anybody just enter there and buy the tickets?

Is Tsim Tsa Shui area within walking distance to harbour city? have to cross one park right? kinda scared i get lost

Thanks for the info!

quick question: can the tram ride up the peak be used multiple times or just once only? thanks!

Sapu lots of stuff from h&m and ladies street hehe weather finally coolling.

Wah you all can distinguish egg tarts so well a? margerets and koi kei just taste the same to me ahahhaa

Yeah i queued up for about 45 minutes just to get up the tram on to the peak. had i known there was a bus service i would have taken that,

the time i went, everybody wearing jackets except me whose appreciating the most of the cooling weather before returning back to malaysia even when i go the peak (about 14 degrees and big wind ) everybody like wearing down jackets only me there with t-shirt

yes. food generally cost rm15-rm20 and their ice seems to be a luxury product. dunno why need to add money to become ice drink

yes but you loose the warranty

your macau planning is a bit too optimistic with the timing. regarding places to visit at macau maybe you can have a look at my blog post http://zhishan90.blogspot.com/2013/01/maca...-trip-2012.html

for peeps interested to go zhuhai/macau from hong kong

Jiuzhou Port (九洲港) to Hong Kong!

As mentioned in my earlier post that I have one free day in my itinerary so I decided board a ferry to Hong Kong instead! According to the ferry's schedule, the earliest ride to Hong Kong (China Ferry Terminal @ Tsim Sha Tsui,Kowloon) was at 8a.m so I wasted no time to get there from my hotel with a taxi.



Prior to this trip I have booked the tickets online at their website to ensure that I get seats since trips to Hong Kong are rather popular. To my utmost horror, the person at the counter told me I could only redeem the tickets at the Hong Kong office at not the ferry terminal. D: In my opinion this is quite stupid considering that the website offers sales of tickets of many places outside of Hong Kong and the only places to redeem those tickets are at Kowloon, Central (中環) and somewhere in Shanghai =_=. Without a choice I exchanged my Hong Kong dollars to Yuan with a shop to buy new tickets (175 yuan for 2 ways). The exchange rate was probably terrible but I didn't have much choice Thank goodness I was able to get a full refund when I arrived at Hong Kong. Quite a shocker early in the morning.





After settling my tickets I then proceeded to have my breakfast, at KFC. And yes I was looking for pork related food again =P



Along with a cup of soya bean, the whole set costed 17 yuan. I then proceeded to the departure hall to wait for my ferry. The entire set up and design looks pretty like an airport.









The ferry is huge!! Accommodating more than 300 people should be off no issue here. There are 3 types of seats available here, depending on the ferry company - normal, VIP and first class. I am guessing food and personal in-ferry entertainment will be available for those paying more. Hong Kong here I come!

The view is nice but with the ferry floating up and down throughout the 1 hour plus journey just makes me feel sick and i rather close my eyes @_@
