Hong Kong guide (thread 26)

[ms_ldr]

so from citygate how do we go to our hostel..like golden crown in TST?

[onefineapril]

tip lang sa mga sisses na nag-a-ask ng direction by MTR...

what I usually do is to find (google/gt) what is the nearest MTR station sa origin and destination ko... once I got it, I go to this site:

http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/homepage/cust_index.html

to check how many stations ang layo nila, travel time and may fare na ring kasama..

[onefineapril]

^^You can take the S1 bus from the airport to Citygate. Get off at Tung Chung. There is no airport express station at Tung Chung. The next stop is Tsing Yi, which is already far from citygate.

sis, does this mean na going back (Tung Chung to Airport), same bus number din ang sasakyan? I know it might sound stupid  pero baka lang kako one way lang kasi ang daan at iba ang ruta ng bus pabalik 

[mizhelle]

quick question po.. can we book for 2 in a hostel and just have our little tot (4yr old) sneak-in with us? Di ba nila sisitahin yun kiddo namin pagdating?

[snowyice]

^tell the hostel about it. parang condo unit lang hostel kitang kita lahat ng pumapasok at lumalabas.

Yup, same Lang pabalik. Yung bus stop Ng s1 sa Citygate is near the spaghetti house entrance or across the mrt station na may open space before all the bus stops. May ilang stops sila around the airport eh so choose ka na lang. Ako, I get on at the stop across Regal Airport Hotel and off at the terminal. I take the lift up pa. Fare is HKD3.50 per way.

they usually have sneak-in rates.  Best to ask the hostel para walang problema.

^ordinary lang tela niya pero ang pangit kainis!

[charmom]

pa help naman po
from tung chung paano po papunta sa taisan guest house? first po kasi namin lahat at hinde namin alam paano. from airport kasi derecho na kami sa ngong ping. salamat po

^sakay ka ng MTR sa TUNG CHUNG station then baba ka sa CENTRAL station change to red lane from CENTRAL to TSIM SHA TSUI station tapos exit ka sa cameron road tapos lakarin mo na lang. San branch ka ba ng Taisan?

[em_cee]

Is there a bus from Ocean Park to Wanchai?  We plan to go to the Golden Bauhinia Square after OP to watch the Symphony of Lights and ride the ferry back to TST.

If wala, we ride bus from OP to Admirality, then take MTR to wan chai station.  Tama ba?  It's just one station, pwede ba lakarin or better take MTR, kasi habol namin yun SOP at 8pm. 

[snowyice]

^sakay ka na lang sis. save your energy

mga sis, need your help, cant decide what to do and where to go.. Here's our IT. By the way, nakuha ko yung tour package from an agency. Hk-Shenzen tour.

DAY 1 (Friday):   Arrived Hongkong at 7am.
DAY 2 (Saturday):  Breakfast. Pick up for Compulsory Hongkong City Tour to visit Avenue of Stars, Aberdeen Fishing Village, pass by mid-levels of Victoria Peak, Jewelery Factory and factory outlet. After transfer to Disneyland for free Disneyland tour until fireworks displays. After tours transfer to Shenzhen for Overnight Stay
>> Free Disneyland tour inclusive of roundtrip transfer; entrance ticket + ride all you can
DAY 3 (Sunday):  Breakfast. Pick up Start Shenzhen Tour to visit Lotus Flower Mountain, The Mangrove Park, Windows of the World (photoshop), Shopping at a mineral and sink factory.

Wala pa ko napipiling gagawin sa whole day ng Day 1. For Day 3, (from 5pm onwards since hahatid kame back to airport), cant decide where to go and san hotel to stay.  Wala pa din ako IT  for whole day ng Day 4 (Monday), ang flight ko pa back to MLA is 9pm.

diba pwede naman mag change lane

Yes, you may change lanes, but that route is kind of impractical cos you're gonna make a u-turn pa and switch trains. So, it's not usually advised.

Anyway, it's her prerogative which route she'll take. 

airport express - tsing yi - tung chung - est. travel time 33mins... on octopus cards HKD60; on single tickets HKD73
S1 bus - est. travel time 7-10mins (just a few quick bus stops in between, around 3) HKD3.50
