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

zero gravity on science museum, seems interesting, noted it..

me and my gf not rili interested with the big buddha, but quite interest with the Dolphin Village u mention, where is located?

the Tung Chung factory outlet = citigate mall ? or inside it ...
izzit close to the Peak ? (sry as all information i get on first was in Chinese, kinda blur in their english name...)

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

Just booked my MAS flight on the 2nd week of January .RM3000 for 4 adults...

your flights are cheap!

Hi Hinika,
I didn't know that's a dolphin village near the area. Will definitely check on that. Yes Citygate I guess will be spending half a day there after visiting the Big Buddha.

Yea I managed to check on the museum but only some have given informations on the free visit but will definitely visit the museums to know more on HK culture.

I am lucky cause now I still have 1 month to plan. Still browsing around for alternative and on food wise we are planning to eat at random place. Too much planning might end up in a disappointment too.So we are just going on the flow but the major attractions we are planning accordingly cause hope not to meet up with the crowds during the weekends.

Hi Kylie,

I've not heard of Dolphin Village. But over at Lantau Island, there's this fishing village called Tai O. At Tai O, there are many boatman who approach tourists/visitors for a short boat trip out to the sea to spot Dolphin, arount HKD 20/pax for about 30mins. Tai O is popular among the Hong Kongers too. Many stalls selling dry goods like salted fish, dried scallop, dried shrimp etc. And there are fresh seafood there. Some visitors go there after Big Buddha to have lunch. Famous snack at Tai O is "char kuo"- a type of kueh. Got one particular house, very popular, need to pre-order.

Tai O can be reached from Ngong Ping Village, by New Lantau Bus No. 21, bus fare was HKD 6.60 on weekday(I went in March).

As for museum, Museum of Coastal Defence, at Shau Kei Wan, free admission on Wednesday. After visiting the museum, can take the tram, aka "ting ting", from the terminal (sit in front on upper deck for views), all the way to either Wan Chai or Central. "ting ting" per trip HKD 2 only, even if you take from one end to the other end, pay when you alight, can be paid by Octopus card. Or after the museum, can go shopping at the nearby Causeway Bay.

for food (in Chinese) - www.openrice.com

Happy Planning!

Ami

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

Last time when I went to HK, they charge me about almost 3k for each person. Maybe it’s because of I took Cathay Pacific during the peak which is end of the year.

Yours about RM750 per person only. Really cheap. I also want.

I think Jan is off peak that is why a bit cheaper.

I am wondering, has any one been to TVB city. do they offer tour?

Ya, could be coz of off peak, after school holidays, Christmas and New Year. May also because it's winter, cold and windy.

So, your MAS ticket is KUL-HKG-KUL ah? Was is memang RM750/pax or got discount for 4 pax?

Yea I read about Tai O and was planning to head over there if time permits. Yea will definately visit the Coastal Museum and head on to enjoy the "ting ting" ride. thanks alot for the advice on that.


Yea in terms of food we will be going random... Just want to ask around on how much luggage capacity did everyone book for the trip? Will 15kgs be enough? for me i'm planning to shop on shoes,clothes n food stuff..

memang RM750 i think. i wanted to make my trip between 27th Dec to 2nd Jan. but i think its peak season with Airasia went up as high as RM1200/pax. so just delay the trip a week. hopefully i will nto be to cold or windy for my mom and aunt.

hi all, is it ok to get some information regarding Macau here? I couldn't find the thread for Macau..

i'm planning for a trip to Macau this coming December.. is the place worth going in the sense that there are lots of interesting places for sight-seeing, shopping etc.?

anyway, does anyone know which hotels are near to the city and the rooms are in good condition with a reasonable price?

i'm probably taking the air-asia hotel package.. not sure if it's cheaper than if I book the hotel separately on my own...

please help!

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

hey, thanks a lot for finding the thread and the info

How does the CotaiJet compare to the Turbojet, if I want to go from Macau Airport to HK, which do you recommend? I heard that CotaiJet is walking distance from the airport, is this true?
