Isn't Tung Chung located at Lantau island/ airport area? That's far from the city.

Nvm, everyday use airport express rail to city 30min nia haha.

Btw, I'm going to HK again for a very short dew days trip during Christmas. This time round no more budget. More like makan trip and staying at better hotel. My years of budget travels are gone now

I see. Good also since hotel rates in HK probably one of the highest in the world interm of room size!

You may plan your journey & $ using hk mtr website: http://www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/jp/index.php?sid=43&eid=1

For eg, using octopus card ( like our TnG), the rate from tc to central will be $22.40 ~RM12/way.

Food - well from my last visit ~9yrs ago? There were cheap food on the lane beside ladies st in mongkok. Price that time from $15-$25. Now probably $25-$35?

Do work around the budget...u are lucky havibg a free acc. My tiny hotel in mongkok cost me RM600/night

For attractions, buy online via klooks app. Lotsa discounted tickets/ e vouchers there

Currently in HK, just grab this cmhk sim from any 7-11. Dirt cheap at HK$48. Sufficient for 5 days. The cashier assisted me ti activate the card as well applying for unlimited data till 1/1/2018 eventhough pic showing 1.5gb only & 5 days. I was told this is a special promo

The cold spell last week ended on last friday. I was there since last Friday and temperature increasing from avg day temp like CH of 18c to 23C on Sunday! I hv to take out my jacket on whole of sunday! All because of souther typhoon of kaitak..

Not really. The peak of winter is not really dec but late Jan- early feb where temparature might drop to 10c

Just check the weather before you're there. HK temp is very mild compare to Northen china/korea.

Ngong ping, advisable book the cheaper after 2:30pm slot because no more que by 2:30pm. Morning qie is very long even u are using klook because u need to join the long que to the cable car after getting the ticket. On the way down, try go back early b4 5om because both klook & normal ticket holders will be joining the wue going down b4 last service at 6:30pm or wait till 6:30pm kua..

For peak, sat/sun even wth klook also long long que atleast 15-30min. Well better than non express klook queing for 1.5hrs min.

2:30pm slot ok. Because on avg, 2hrs on rop is more than enough. Too bad by 5pm to 6pm, there will be a long que coning down.

For peak, as early as possible. Probably b4 9am

AA for RM600, is it inc of seat booking, food & baggages & misc taxes? If not u need to add RM200+ to each return ticket.

AA promo sometime can be as low as RM400 return but once you add-on.. it will be ~RM600. Well u can say cheaper than others at this rate..

My recent trip to HK during christmas was on SIA wth transit at changi. Eventhough longer but I got the chheapesr promo at RM730/pax..all to HK and even got the free transit voucher of s$20/pax (RM61) to shop at changi...

Food is cheap RM15 only. Tge baggages & seats are the expensive part. Unless u wanna sit seperately which they surely do if u don't buy seat. To change seats with others on flight sometime can be very irritating to others hor...as what I experienced.

Not sure hk, but choosing 1 seat was RM42 going to australia & baggage 20kg was RM119 on my aax trip to melbourne recently. That's why I said u need xtra RM200/pax haha.

The RM730 was b4 minus the shopping coucher of rm60. If u inc this, the ticket price was just RM670. With 30kg baggage/pax + food, dr8nks, liquir as well as ice-cream..

You probably can try out skyscanner apps. Just set an alarm on the date u choose and they will notofy u once the cheapest tickets available. That's how I got my sia tickets after ~2mths of waiting and seeing the price of diif airlines fluctuating weekly from RM1k till got this cheap tickets in aug 17.

Uber is available there kua. Although I didn't try but I did opened my uber spps & compare the price there

Yup usekess if goto lkf diring daytime. I visited lkf ~5pm & nothing there..skip if u are not pub/bars lovers.

For chunking mansion, this is a good place for muslim visitors. So many mamaks stalls inside this complex.

Otherwise, u can walk up to the cleaner complex beside the mamak eateries (same building, diff entrance) there is a tai kar lok (cafe de coral) there for cheap breakfast/lunch. Buy set good for 2 pax
