Thanks for the heads up. I was only thinking about Disneyland queues.

buy it from Klook!

Typhoon in December ? Are you sure about this ?

Of course. I experienced it in 2014.
Actually it is not that bad. Strong winds and rain. Most dangerous is the falling branches. Me and the missus purposely walked out onto TST at midnight to see how it was but since we were smack inside HK city, the winds were somewhat blocked off from the many tall buildings. In fact a lot of HK people were out then and there should be tons of photos and news of it in the papers.
I travel to HK at least 3X a year. First time experiencing a typhoon though. And that's why I don't go to HK in December.

Sorry, don't know about Disneyland cos never been there. Missus and kid prefers shopping.

Some travel sites say peak typhoon probability is in July, August and September. Maybe you got lucky, or unlucky, to experience typhoon in December. BTW, why you go Hong Kong so many times a year? Include Macau? I also like HK a lot.

ugh.. just bought my ticket to HK this dec during christmas. got to pray

I like HK a lot. Flight time is not too long and shopping is fantastic. So is the food and I can curse like them Only time I can wind down from work and relax and meet up my many HK friends.
Macau is a no no for me. Been there like for a few hours and that was already too long. Transportation is a major headache and Portuguese food doesn't go down too well with me.
Osaka is also a nice city to visit. Shanghai is quite expensive. I prefer oriental cities and places like Vienna, Paris, London etc is only a one-time-affair for me. Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast is only when I have to visit old friends and relatives (wedding dinners/funerals). I stayed in Sydney for 10 years before coming back to KL.


Probably an anomaly. HK in December is fun with its many Christmas sales. If this is your first trip, have fun and thank the HK SAR Gomen for restricting the flow of Mainland people from visiting HK. They used to "invade" HK a few years ago. You can spot them from a mile away.

Typhoon hitting Hong Kong in December is extremely rare. Typhoon usually hits Hong Kong between July to September. The worst typhoon usually hits in July with the airport closed.


December is fairly safe to be honest. I have transit through Hong Kong International Airport many times in December.

Really? Good news to me! Thanks!

two time with AA to HK+Macau...return also around rm330-350 only

not really sure how cheap is Cathay? rm700?
Mas RM539 ....

I got it at RM600 that time

Will be stuck in Kwai Chung for two weeks. What's good to do around the area?

Why only in Kwai Chung?

There is a humongous shopping centre there which caters for budget clothing. Quite packed with locals.

visit the red light buildings

Congrats, enjoy the fireworks if you're there during NYE.

I went there for previous NYE and it was awesome.

Hi guys, we will be visiting HK for 7D6N including one night in Macau. We have bought most of the attractions/entrance tickets, hotels and ferry paid. We plan to change about RM3k to HKD and just wondering if it is enough for 2pax? Mainly to foods, junks, MTR and other transport around etc.
