Hi all,

I notice that the sizes for clothes in HK are relatively small. Anywhere in HK where I can get UK sized clothes for guy and girl?

Thanks.

Hi Hinika,

do you plan to go to the dolphin village after big buddha? if yes then that will take most of your time already.  and you'll sure be spending a lot of time in citigate (very cheap!!).  not sure if you wil have time for others
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.

there's one day in HK which the museums are free every week.  i can't remember but it could be wednesday, you may want to check website.  don't miss the "moon walk" at the science museum.  some museums have got free guides (in cantonese / english) for special events, you may want to check out each of the museums websites for details.
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.

Check these links:
for attractions - www.discoverhongkong.com
for food (in Chinese) - www.openrice.com

Happy Planning!

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

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..
