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..

guys, iwill be travelling to HK with 2 elderly (60+ year old) and 2 kids (3 years / 1years old) on mid of march this year.

we will stay in one of the Airbnb in grandville road, it will be free and easy trip, i will only arrange 1 tourist spot each day.. and depend on their stamina i will add in some nearby attraction.

Day 1 (sat)- Reaching HK at evening ..
Not too sure if i should hire a MPV or should use the Express train, guys any suggestion?
Wife is more incline on the MPV, as it will reach at doorstep however, price wise, express train definitely cheaper.

Day 2 (sunday)- Victoria Peak, i m looking in the Madame Tussauds 3-in-1 Combo from KLOOK, is it worth it?

Day 3/4 (Monday/tues) - HK disneyland 2 days
Day 5 Tai-O/Ngo ping --> any comment ya? bringing 2 elder and 2 kids?
DAy 6 - Macau .. is it doable in 1 day trip from kowloon ? I actually prefer to bring my kids to Ocean park instead, however the elders wish to go macau.
Day 7 free and easy
Day 8 depart from HK at afternoon

My previous travel to HK is 10 years ago .. i m quite nervous this time, as bringing both my kids

-what is the temperature i will be expecting in mid of march? genting like temperature?
-I will check-in my twin umbrella stroller (5kg), what u guys think if stroller is usabled in HK?
-any recommended wifi device ?

too bad i have booked the accomodation. I didnt really plan properly before the trip, as i assume HK is a "small" and dense city.

for MRT, for above 3 years old, my kid need to get her own octopus card right?
is the senior citizen rate is eligible for international visitor?

Check MTR website for more info on Octopus and eligibility for senior non-citizens. I've never try this before.
Standard taxi is 5 adults. Red taxi can go all over HK. Green (and another colour, forgot) cannot cross into HK Island, only Kowloon peninsular and Lantau island.
Short distance within Mongkok <-> TST or HK Island Central <-> Causeway Bay, with plenty of traffic lights, slight jam/heavy traffic, 15 minutes will cover about 3-5km (about 2-4 MTR stops), estimate HKD30-50 only. Crossing tunnel/toll will have additional charge. No need bargain or ask like in M'sia, as long as taxi stop for you, just sit inside. Sometimes taxi driver will not sure of your destination, so you need to guide him if you know. If you can speak Cantonese will be great. Speak Mandarin and they'll hate you (presume you are mainland Chinese). I did write a short topic on this in this thread of earlier threads.
