Octupus card (not sure whether is it the name in English) in MRT train is better.. as you can use it to go up The peak..no need to q

Ladies street are just like our Petaling street.. i didn't ask the prices coz i am not interested on those stuff they are selling (mostly china goods)

Nike shoes or other shoes u can go to Bo Hai Gai

I changed my money at Sg Wang..Got small change.. HK1k note still ok..coz when u purchase for ur card at airport or mrt, it will cost u HK150 then u can get small change edi

traders KL for USD39..i also want!~ which is the booking side? mst go to check more frequent!~

agoda is offering RM256++ for dec stay..

must a unforgettable new year

Yes. You need. The Q is still acceptable during normal time..around 5people ahead of you

If you go on peak season, then sure longer Q

Citigate mall / tung chung factory outlet is near to Airport

very far away from The peak (what i mean is you cant walk from The peak)

u can check from google map. Type Hong Kong, then u will get a map in English and mandarin

your flights are cheap!

i suggest your plan your itinerary with places to visit 1st then your search for nice food near to the planned attractions..

Macau Thread



For macau, the hotel rate on weekend stay (friday and saturday night) is much more expensive than nornal day.

Hotel Sintra is not bad

there are two ferry terminal in HK.. one is in TST and another on in Central

In my opinion, your itinerary a bit messy in the sense that for me, I prefer to go for one day in Kowloon and walk around the nearby area then another day at HK island then walk around the same day.. if not it will be like costing a lot for me to travel from hotel to HK island then back to Kowloon area..

I would go in the following way to cover all the attractions:
Day 1
Check in at 2pm
Have lunch at Mongkok (Kowloon - near your hotel)
Fa Yuen Street + Ladies street (Kowloon - near your hotel)
Go to Langham Shopping Mall (Kowloon - near your hotel)
Avenue of Star and Symphony of Light (Kowloon - Take MRT to TST)
Temple Street (Kowloon)


Day 2
Disneyland
The Peak in the evening (HK - you can take cab from Central till the tram station for around HKD20)


Day 3
Golden Bauhinia (HK -Wan Chai, it is just near to Wan Chai Pier of the Star Ferry)
Ngo Ping 360
Tung Chung Citygate Outlet


Day 4
Ocean Park (HK)
Lomography shop at Causeway Bay (HK)
Lan Kwai Fong (HK - Central, another option of HK night life will be Wan Chai)


Day 5
Stanley (HK)
Walk and shop around your hotel
Plane depart at 8.30pm

A little bit more on Stanley, it is advisable to go stanley in the Morning for its market.

There is Flag Rising Ceremony at Golden bauhinia every morning at 8a.m and it is just short walk to star ferry pier. After watching the ceremony and photo taking, just take MRT to Admiralty and there will be counter selling package for Ocean Theme Park.

Added on October 23, 2009, 9:15 amDay 1
Arrive at HKIA at 10.30am
Ngo Ping 360 -> this cable car will take around 45 mins for the trip
Check in at 2pm
Have lunch at Mongkok
Stanley --> I think it is better that you walk around your hotel and Central for you to familiarise with the environment
The Peak
Temple Street (maybe if i'm not tired) --> If you take bus from the Peak, the bus will stop at Central there, it was just a street away from Lan Kwai Fong and the famous roast goose restaurant, so it is better that you go Lan Kwai Fong after the Peak


Day 2
Disneyland --> should be 8p.m and there will be fireworks
Avenue of Star/Symphony of Light ---> I don't think you can make it
Ladies Street --> I suggest you replace this with Temple Street

Day 3
Ngo Ping 360 - > you can replace this with Golden Bauhinia then go for breakfast
Tung Chung Citygate Outlet
Langham Shopping Mall
Tung Choi Street/Fa Yuan Street(just walk around TST and Mongkok)

Day 4
Ocean Park
Lomograhy Shop at Causeway Bay
Lan Kwai Fong --> as if you have gone to Lan Kwai Fong on day 1 then you may go Wan Chai for another night life spot

Day 5
Wong Tai Sin Temple
Check out at 12pm
Walk around --> assuming you reach airport around 2p.m and you need to be in aiport at 6p.m, you got 4 hours in between, you may consider to fit in Tung Chung Citygate Outlet here then you will get more free time on day3
Depart at 8.30pm


then Day 3 you can do it like:

Stanley market
Central ( the longest escalator and go to the famous Lan Fong Yuen (蘭芳園))
Langham Shopping Mall
Tung Choi Street/Fa Yuan Street(just walk around TST and Mongkok)
Avenue of Star/Symphony of Light

If you don't mind to read a few pages back, you can see there are a lot of itineraries that can give you some clues

yes. Harbour city is good to go and shop.. depends on what kind of shopping you want to do

Pls check for me whether is HK's KFC still selling the delicious Wasabi flavor of fried chicken!!

Stanley is nowhere near to the peak

I don’t think it is feasible for you to go to the Citygate + cable car in JUST 4 HOURS
it will take you 2 hours to complete your visit to the ngo ping 360 cable car
and HK airport is huge plus it is another good places to shop
when the shopping ans walking starts, you will forget the time pass vey fast

It is impossible for you to watch the fireworks at 8p.m at Disneyland then reach AOS by 8p.m

Noah's Ark

Somethings new in Hk to try
