Hi all, i m planning for 1 week trip to hongkong next march in a group of 4 adults (2+2 senior citizen), 2 children (3years and 1 years old).

Will try to make it a relax trip - may just arrange 1 to 2 attraction  per day.

Should i bring along with stroller? is HK stroller friendly?

Since we are travel in group, does taking taxi worth it or just stick to MRT? Uber in HK reliable?

How much budget i should alocate for each adults? for food and transportation/ entrace fee.. minus shopping.

Which area is best to stay as a traveller? mongkok / TST / central area? mostlikely we will use airbnb

How is the weather HK during mid of march? from google is 17 to 23, so is it like genting feel? or much warmer?

thank you in advance ya..

hi! suggest to bring stroller along, i brought that when i was there with my 2 year old kid. Much more convinient as you dont need to carry the kid.

I prefer TST than Mongkok as there's more happening at TST and more MTR there as well. March weather should be just nice you can google..i was there early april before, it feels like around 25 to 28 degree despite many hongkie wearing jacket. I guess u can bring a light jacket especially for the young and old smile.gif

When book hotel try to take note on the room size, noticed many cheaper room size are 16m2 only.

Going to hk shortly but will spend a day to shenzhen for the Window of the World.... If we can use the hkd there, then i guess we dont have to cash in some rmb while we are in shenzhen then..

Hi! If your group's senior citizens are healthy and can walk, I would recommend taking the MRT as it is really convenient. If you miss one train the next one will arrive in 2 minutes! I have never taken a cab in HK but it should be really expensive especially if you would probably need 2 cabs.

In relation to stroller friendliness, the sidewalks in HK are not especially wide...

Do look up the prices of the attractions you intend to visit online. For food, an example of a normal set breakfast I had was HKD32 per pax so lunch and dinner would be more expensive unless you eat at 7-11 or McD every meal biggrin.gif

I stayed in the Mongkok area and it was really happening at night with all the pasar malams within walking distance.

Weather like genting should be around winter time from December to February.

And that is all I can help you with. Hope this helps!

Nope, mainland doesn't accept HKD anymore for many years already (or a decade ago?), since the day RMB surpassed HKD in currency exchange.

Since that day, mainland people nose is higher and look down on HK people. No matter what HK people gossip/complain about mainland people buying everything off their shelves, behaviour, etc. the reality is mainland people are partially driving HK economy.
Else why do you think HK sales/front facing learn to talk mandarin on top of their existing cantonese ?

Hi.. im going to HK this next saturday. 3 days 2 night trip. Any recommendations on where to visit? What to do? Currently on my mind... are Victoria Peak Tram, Mdm Tussode Museum, Walk of Star only. Regarding octopus card, is it enough paying hkd150 for this trip? Should i buy ticket for Peak Tram combo (tram/sky tower/mdm tussode) only now or walkover at china travel service counter? which one cheaper?
*
yo, im travelling this sat too, bought SIA tickets ard 800 return to HK travelling from KL..

150 is enough if u take mtr for 2 full days..

for attractiosn, u can get a lot of combo tickets online, klook.com is one of them

i also booked a travel wifi device from them for 8/day..

if u have some spare moolah, can try Tesla S pick up from airport to ur hotel, around 200, worth it if u have a party of 3..

weather forecast to be good, have a good trip

Hi bro,

Airport Express bus should bring you straight right in front of your hotel. Both time i took like that at TST and Mongkok.. i think HKD140/pax. But since you are arriving on xmas eve, not sure if certain road will be close. Some member here just informed Avenue of Stars is closed but i think you can watch the light show from somewhere nearby.

I will be arriving on 25/Dec instead. Which flight are you flying with? Its so expensive nw compare to the last 2 times i went..

Bro, I checked the Airport Express bus route too, but it seems that A21 bus is more convenient. Coz by Airport Express bus i need to change to another shuttle bus and walk 3 mins compared with A21 which is only 1 bus and walk 1 min only. Hard to walk in a fast paced city while dragging your luggage sweat.gif

BY Airport Express
(1) Take the Airport Express to Kowloon Station
(2) Take the free shuttle K4 and Get off at Park Hotel
(3) Turn right and walk on Chatham Road South (walk about 3 min)
(4) Turn right to Hart Avenue, the hostel entrance is in Union Mansion (Hostel entrance is on Hart Avenue)

Yea, Avenue of Stars is closed until 2018. I will watch the light show from TST Promenade, as mentioned by someone here.

I will be flying with MAS, you? How many days will you go there this time? You must be quite familiar with HK since you have already went twice before. Haih..Hotels in HK are so FREAKING EXPENSIVE mad.gif I have already booked for the first 5 nights, but the Macau and 30th-1st Jan one (HK) I haven't book. Limited choices + too expensive. But, I'm surprised to see Macau Hotel and resort are quite cheap, like 300+ can get a very good hotel ady. Or maybe after browsing the super expensive hotels in HK, suddenly I feel Macau hotels really cheap..Lol
*
Haha i see.. i will be there for 4 nights only.. staying TST area this time.. hotel from cheap to expensive so many choices..

Im looking at cathay pasific.. how much was your MAS? CP now is about 1250 per person return. HK hotel those very cheap 1.. look at the room size. ..some is very small.. i normally looks for those range around 800 per night.. just nice for me wife n daughter. .
