@TwinkleDream

from airport, tuloy na lang kayo sa ngong ping. you can leave your luggages sa airport or sa citygate. then proceed to your hotel (san ba area niyo?). then go to the peak and madam tussauds. after pwede kayo mag ferry from central to avenue of stars.

Hi! For those who have stayed at Golden Crown Guesthouse already, safe ba yung area papunta dun? Like I read somewhere kasi na usually guesthouses daw maraming indians sa baba kung ano ano daw tinitinda (minsan sa loob daw ng bldg mismo) or like baka naman market ang paligid nya...ano atmosphere niya? So far kasi I did my research and ang reviews are the rooms and services only. How about its surroundings? Thanks

[:x:sassygirl:x:]

Okay naman sa Golden Crown. Wag mo nalang pansinin yung mga Indian. Kahit saan sa HK marami talaga ganun.

[allcat]

sis yufa ok naman golden crown meron mga indians di nga lang indians madami pang iba pero safe naman wala naman silang paki sa mga dumadaan nung una natakot din kami lalo na may mga kasama kaming bata pero ok naman wag kang mag worry safe din yung mga gamit may pinay na bantay don ok naman sya pero syempre maganda na rin kung yung mga luggage mo may lock para safe lang lalo na kasi kung may mga iiwan ka pag namamasyal ka

[~yufa~]

^ and ^^ thanks mga sis. medyo I don't have a peace of mind kasi if may Indians (di ako racist ha I just don't feel comfortable around them I don't know why). Bahala na sa Holy Week pa naman ako. Basta I will be staying at a TST Hotel that's for sure.

Anyway, anyone can comment on my itenerary? I will be arriving 10AM dun. Can you tell if I alloted too much/little time on one itenerary

Day 1
1:00 PM - 8:00 PM   Ocean Park
8:30 PM - 9:30 PM   Dinner
9:30 PM - 11:00 PM   Clock Tower/Avenue of the Stars/TST Promenade

Day 2
9:30 AM - 5:00 PM   Lantau Island/ Ngong Ping 360 and Disneyland
7:30 PM- 9:00 PM   Symphony of Lights (not the cruise)
9:00 PM- 11:00 PM   Night Market (any night market near TST if meron man)
   
Day 3
8:00 AM - 12:30 PM   Victoria Peak (RT Tram)+Sky Terrace+Madame Tussauds
2:15 PM- 3:15 PM   HK to Macau (weekend)

Gusto ko kasi makadating sa Macau by 3PM on our 3rd day para more or less 24 hours pag-iikot ko dun...Gusto ko nga sana mag-add kahit 3 hours na shopping kaso when I asked, parang 9PM daw nagsasara malls dun. =(

[cassidy02]

Hi! Has anyone stayed at Hotel Nikko, Dorsett Regency and 60 West hotel? Thanks!

[rocky]

^^sis ~yufa~, safe naman sis & mabait naman sila. actually mga indians tumulong sa amin para makita yang golden crown. sa kanila kami nagtanong. mukha lang silang nakakatakot kasi ang dami talaga sa hk pero harmless naman.

[prettybarbie]

^^ yung Dorsett Regency malapit lang sa dati naming flat sa Kennedy Town, wala pang MTR sa area na yon, pero okay naman yung location, malapit sa bank, convenience store, supermarket and malapit lang sa sakayan at babaan ng bus, new hotel to parang last year lang nagbukas. 60 west hotel naman is in Sheung Wan i think it's a service apartment, among the three pinaka okay ang location ng Hotel Nikko in Tsim Sha tsui

[cassidy02]

^thanks sis! pero between dorsett and 60 west, alin kaya ang better? medyo konti lang kasi reviews na nababasa ko pa about them.. thanks again:)

[prettybarbie]

Dorset Regency is a hotel while 60 West is a service apartment, both are in the west pero mas malapit ang 60 west sa central pero nasa may bandang taas sya hindi sya mismo sa main road so lalakad ka pa. Location wise mas okay ang 60 West kasi konting lakad mo lang nasa MTR ka na, unlike pag sa Dorset sasakay ka pa ng bus bago ka makarating sa MTR station mga 15-20 minutes din ang layo. I have no idea kung ano itsura ng mga rooms nila, regarding sa service dont expect much sa 60 West because it is an aprtment kind of a thing, wala syang restaurant, you have to carry your bags all by yourself no bell boy or room service just housekeeping, now if you like the convenience and service of a hotel then this one is not for you.

mga sis, leaving for HK on sept 13. sa novotel kami stay... we booked through agoda. may free shuttle kasi to and from airport kaya kahit medyo pricey go na kami. maganda din ba sa citygate outlet mall?

hi sis! super ok sa citygate outlet mall! Madami mabibili na branded stuffs for less! May food court din sila doon na huge servings so ok na sa price! Novotel citygate is one of our favorite hotels in hong kong since malapit sa airport (for short stays) and baba ka lang, mall na! They even have a supermarket sa basement! Minsan pag matagal kami sa hong kong, we really pass by citygate for the supermarket to buy our food and other supplies for the coming days! May mcdo din and kfc. May pool area din and maganda views ng rooms kahit anong side of the hotel piliin mo Chaka sis onting lakad lang, MTR nadin! You really made a good choice sis

Hi sis Yupa Holy week din kami na sched for out HK trip with hubby and my 4yr old daughter. Still finalizing if 4days or 3 days kami. Mas mahal kasi airfare ng thurs sa Friday flight. From Manila or Clark departure ba kayo? Abang abang pa ako ng seat sale. Skip muna namin Macau kahit gusto ko baka kasi di pa ma appreciate ng baby. I'm preparing as early as now para maging smooth ang travel since first time din namin outside the country tapos DIY travel pa kaya very thankful ako sa GT and tread na ito, BIG HELP talaga for  GT like me.

Mga sis ask ko lang if ok lang bang magdala kami ng Stroller(umbrella type) for my kid? for check in luggage din ba sya? baka kasi pricey and rental sa mga attractions like Disney and OP eh plan ko pa naman whole kami sa dalawa very tiring yon for my kid. TIA
