Hong Kong Guide (Thread 28)

Theflygirl i dont know kung may kinalaman yung gaganapin na Asia Contemporary Art show on October 4-7....

Rinrin depende kung weekend or weekdays or kung gabi ka babyahe, turbojet fare around hkd 140-174, pag below 1 yr old wala pa bayad, pag 1 yr old and above full fare na.

Magkaiba yung NWFF at turbojet pero pareho silang papunta ng macau, ang pinagkaiba lang nila yung NWFF nasa kowloon while yung Turbojet ay nasa hk side... Ferry din ang tawag don sa bumabyahe from hong kong side to kowloon ibang klaseng ferry naman yon.

^the art show was the only thing I could find n think of. Hmm, thanks!

@ sis lhaimatte - how did u book in T Hotel sis, di ko magets yung site nila, di ko talaga even yung rates nila. how much per night nila sis? thank u!

[rinrin]

I see! thanks a lot sis prettybarbie!!!

[lheimatte]

@omneecka- nag email lang ako sa kanila sis, kasi walang rate na nakalagay sa site. Hkd 1130 ang rate nila nett of all taxes and charges with 2 buffet breakfast. Tapos laki ng room and sobrang ganda ng view. Meron blog akong nakita ng gawa ng isang pinay and her description is sobrang wow daw lahat, tapos sabi din sa review, guests are treated like a star. No need to tip kasi they will not accept it dahil they are being graded sa service nila. Try mo email yung reservation nila. Excited ako sis sobra!

hi mga sis... will go to hong kong on October, we will stay at yiu fai guesthouse fully booked na kasi sa golden crown grabe last year don kami nag stay, ok naman yung stay namin walang hassle so sabi ko don nalang ulit eh di nga ako nakakuha ng room. inquire naman ako sa taisan grabe wala na rin dinadala kami sa rooftop eh may mga nabasa ako ng di masyadong maganda kaya wag nalang. balak ko sana sa cosmic kasi ayokong lumayo sa area na yon... kaya lang nakita ko sa site nila magaganda ang room kaya lang sabi don yung mga pictures daw not necessarily na ganon talaga ang itsura.. ayaw na nanaman ng mga kasama ko.. may napili ako sa jordan naman yung place kaya lang nakita ko sa map parang malayo.. buti nalang nakita ko yung yiu fai same building lang sila nung golden crown kaya don nalang kami tsaka masami din pinoy na naka stay don ok naman daw...

1st day libot libot kami around tst area pero balak namin pumunta na agad sa city gate... atat kasi kami eh..

2nd day disneyland kami ask ko lang mga sis pwede bang lumabas ng disney para makapunta kami sandali sa city gate then babalik ulit kami para naman sa fire works kasi parang super tagal naman sa disney ng maghapon ka na don.. para di na kami pumunta sa 1st day namin sa city gate

3rd day macau kami

[lheimatte]

Ask ko lang, what time ba nag-oopen at nag cloclose ang Citygate?  Bukod sa citygate saan pa kaya ang mga outlet stores ng HK?  Gusto ko rin punta ng Ikea, last year na nag HK ako (overnight lang) sa Ikea lang sa causewaybay ako pumunta at sobrang enjoy ako...

And since from Macau kami, where can we buy one-way ferry tickets going to HK, sa ferry terminal na ba and what time dapat nasa Macau ferry terminal kami?  Since HK island ang destination namin, dapat turbojet ang sasakyan namin, right?

Thanks in advance sa info. 

[prettybarbie]

Sis citygate opening hour: 10:00 am - 10:00 pm (*opening hours may vary among stores and on public holidays)...

3 lang ang branch ng ikea sa hk, at isa lang ang nasa hk island yun na nga yung sa causewaybay.

Pede sa macau terminal na kayo mismo bumili ng ticket dahil every 15 minutes naman bumabyahe yung turbojet, and yes dapat turbojet ang sakyan nyo, sa shun tak ang baba nyo sa sheung wan

@prettybarbie, anong massuggest mo na puntahan namin, para makasakay a doule deck na bus

[prettybarbie]

^ sis why dont you take the Hop on Hop off bus instead? You can check the routes here:

Breakfast and all-day refreshments are served in the Kingdom Club Lounge. There is also a sitting area with some books (although a lot are in Chinese obviously ). This is where the nightly storytelling is done by the hotel staff. Do not expect too much from the breakfast buffet though. It's a whole lot simpler than the ones in Chef Mickey or Enchanted Garden. They serve open-faced sandwiches, scrambled eggs, some bread and pastries and congee. That's it. You may also view the fireworks from the lounge balcony. We did this the 2nd night cos we were in the park the 1st night for the fireworks show. Accompanying music to the fireworks display is played on some channels on tv.

Thanks sis! ganun ba, so mas ok pa rin ang manood ng fireworks sa disney mismo?

[gorgeous_me]

^^prettybarbie, question lang, san ba stop ng bus papuntang airport, magbus na lang sana kami papuntang airport, hindi ko pa lam kung saan since galing kaming macau, hehe, lam ko lang A21 bus, kaso hindi ko lang lam kung san kami mag-iintay/bus stop

thanks sa info

[lheimatte]

@prettybarbie - thanks sis. Wondering kung saan ba pwedeng bumili ng mga discounted tickets (disney,op and others) kasi hinde daw nag bebenta si T hotel.  Thanks!

[prettybarbie]

^^^ okay din naman manood sa kingdom lounge balcony kasi may mga upuan don so relax ka lang plus hindi crowded gaya ng pag nasa park ka, kapag nasa park ka makikita mo sya ng malapitan pero grabe naman ang dami ng tao

^^ sis you mean pagkagaling mo ng macau didiretso ka na sa airport? If yes, e di ang sakyan mo na lang is yung turbojet from macau papunta mismo sa hk airport.

^ sis go to China Travel Service (CTS) meron sila mismo branch sa airport

[paramore11]

still finalizing our iti for 3D2N to HK.
any inputs for Cosmo Hotel HK?

[pbrg]

Question:
Ano magagawa or may shopping mall ba within Sheung Wan?
How about sa Whampoa?  worth ba na dayuhin for shopping? 
Ano biggest branch ng Jusco?

I have a friend na nakapunta ng whampoa before and dun daw sya nakabili ng mga makeup brush and other tools parang wholesale area yata but hndi nya ma-remember exactly where... any leads?


TIA

[examiner30]

^^ Ganun ba sis. baka sa balcony na lang kami. May kasama kasi kaming kids para di na sila mahirapan din. Thanks! 

[prettybarbie]

^^ sis konti lang ang mall sa Sheung wan, Wing On Department store and yung Sincere, pero sa central andon lahat, katabi lang sya ng sheung wan malapit lang, don ka na lang magpunta. Andon ang IFC Mall, The Landmark -high end mall (LV,GUCCI,VALENTINO etc) may make up counter din dito, H&M, Cotton On, Bossini, Giordano, Marks and Spencer, andon din yung Flagship store ng Longchamp, Flagship store ng Coach, Esprit, Gap... Shops within walking distance to each other. Meron din pala don na "ale-ale" iskinita sya na tindahan ng mga murang damit at kung ano ano

Malaki din ang Whampoa Garden sa Hung hom naman sya

Regarding jusco meron din nito sa whampoa, but i believe Causeway Bay is the biggest also in Sheung Wan next to sincere

[pbrg]

^ Thanks for your reply...

We want to explore kasi yung mga areas na hndi pa namin napupuntahan since this time, wala kaming kasama na kids.
