Groupon offer: entrance ticket only: HKD108
Madame Tussands website: Entrance + Peak tram return (special lane) : HKD265
https://www.madametussauds.com/HongKong/en/...ts/Default.aspx

More worth? Anyone knows how much is peak tram price for special lane?

the special lane is only applicable if u buy on the spot...
and must b combo packages = Madam Tussauds + Cable Car (Tram) + Sky Terrace 428

from the madame tussauds website, seems like you can buy combo 2 in 1 : entrance + cable car (tram) where it mentioned fast lane wor. but the price is HKD265.

But i checked HK the peak tram website, http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/ does not mention how much is the special lane price. anyone know?
*
u buy at the the peak tram (base counter), here

warning: i went there 2/3years back, so my info might outdated

u can see from the photo, bottom left... there is no one queue 1st lane and 2nd lane
1st lane is the super express lane, u must buy the ticket there and u no need to wait to queue for the tram
2nd lane is the combo package u buy online or ding2, normally u need to queue only for 1/2 of the line
3rd lane and beyond... u need to queue at least 1-2hours lane

my advise, do during 4:30pm...
5pm walk walk around park (big circle), a lot of jogger there
6pm can see sunset, and the infamous view point from TVB drama... no need money... forget the name...
7pm goto wax house
8pm goto Sky Terrace and enjoy Light Symphony
9pm dinner and drink at SOHO
11pm continue drink at LKF

Just wanna check, I am going to Hong Kong in end of October (22 October to 25 October) for honeymoon. Thing is, I booked a hotel called Micro Hotel at RM477 for 3 nights total which is about RM150+ per night. Is that hotel ok? Anyone stayed in that hotel before? And also, the hotel is in Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei there and according to Booking.com, it's near Temple Street Night Market. Is it accurate? Thanks.

booking.com hv maps one... u can check urself

guys, 1st time going to HK for 2 persons, travelling to HK on 23rd this month, will be flying to Macau then take ferry to Hong Kong, stay for 5 days then back to Macau for 1 day before departing back to KL, need some suggestions,

1. Best ferry to travel to HK from Macau
2. Upon arrival in HK how to get to hotel in TST(Nathan Road)?
3. Best place to makan around TST?
3. Plan to visit Disneyland 1 day, Ocean Park 1 day, The Peak, madame tussauds.
4. Best place to shop in HK

Btw the hotels all paid, if i exchange RM4k to HKD can last for 7 days for 2 person in HK? The entrance tickets for Disneyland and Ocean park i plan to get it from Matta Fair next week.

Thanks all
*
1) donno best ferry, if not mistaken got 1st class and normal class
basically u need the ferry timetable to avoid waiting 1hours+

2) Once u reach HK, basically u r in TST
https://www.google.com/maps/place/China+Fer...114.1663087,18z
and Nathan Road is very long... it can reach MongKok

3.1) Not in TST, but somewhere near...
I can oni think of Australia Daily Milk, @Jordan and ClayPot Rice, @YauMaTei

3.2) U need 1day @Disney + 1day @OP + 1/2day @Peak
Since u stay at TST, remember to visit Symphony of Lights and Area of Star

4) Very subjective, depend wat u wan to shop...
pasar malam? highend boutique? gadget? mobile? toys? duty free?
or fake handbag? kekeke

5) 4K for 2pax with accommodation paid... why not
if not enuf money then... dont shop... dont take taxi... eat at chachanteng/711 tongue.gif

thanks for the reply, i asked around mostly recommend us to get the octopus card to travel around, since we are only 2 person, i think mostly will be doing the walking and taking bus/mrt

another question, buying the entrance ticket online is better or from matta fair? some of the matta tickets provide tour aswell, worth it to include into the package?
*
last time i bought at Ding2, Mongkok...
they close very early, and i hv to go the next day...

if u buy here, it will be hassle free when u reach there
---
someone recently said they bought from HK groupon, u jus need to print it out

octopus card is like out touch n go, GET IT...

HK disneyland official website has offer for Malaysian. Ticket comes with food + drink. Which i think ok la since the food inside Disneyland must be expensive one.

Bought Madame Tussauds ticket from Groupon HK. 50% off now.

Disney alwiz have meal bundle coupon icon_idea.gif

btw why u said malaysian oni?

guys need some opinion on this. just noticed tat to ride the free shuttle bus from grand lisboa to macau ferry terminal, ticket required. huhu. so any other option for that other than taxi. there are six of us so i guess taxi is not an option.

Not sure the bus u take...

2years back I ride free shuttle
1. From airport to Venetian, no need ticket
2. From Venetian to/from Senado Square, no need ticket
3. From Venetian to Ferry terminal, no need ticket

I walk from St Paul's ruin to Grand Lisboa like 15mins oni
