Hong Kong Guide (Thread 29)

[rocky]

Hi! I have a question. What's the most convenient way to get to Diosdado Macapagal Intl Airport, Clark? Has anyone tried Philtranco Buslines? Parang yun na kasi pinaka-okay based on what I have read. Kaysa mag-drive all the way to Clark. I tried calling but I couldn't get through the line.

Thanks so much:)

ok naman philtranco sis, na-try ko yan dati sa likod ng megamall ako sumakay.

[burberi]

Sisses, sale season ba sa HK ng mid-December? Gusto ko kasi talaga mamili ng mga damit. Okay ba dumayo dun ng Mango at Forever 21 or parang Philippines lang din at mas ok na magtiangge nalang ako sa HK? Ano marerecommend nyo pagdating sa shopping? TIA!

@doctor betty: sis, kami nag pareserve online sa philtranco.. nagemail naman sila within 24-48 hours at may mga tinanong lang.

@gabby13: sis, dapat mag hanap ka na ng matutuluyan. next week narin alis namin pero nung oct pa ko nagpareserve at nahirapan ako kasi fully booked na yung mga gusto naming guesthouse.. at ang tagal pa mag reply nung iba.

naku sis, peak season na ngayon kung may makita man kayo baka may kamahalan na rin. as in how much ba per night ang budget nyo?

@burberi ok lang naman sis kaso almost all of the display items eh pang-winter na.. so hindi mo rin magagamit sa 'tin.. so i guess, better to buy na lang sa Pinas atleast yun talaga magagamit mo..

Mga saan ba ok mag store ng luggage if we go first to ngong ping sa loob b citygate un o tung chung station? Thanks

[london]

@Haley James
sa citygate na. mas mura. and if maisipan niyo after ngong ping na mag stay muna sa citygate, di niyo na kelangang ilipat pa luggae niyo.

[rocky]

^^sis _ilovepink_, wala ka ng babayaran sa HKIA kasi included na yon sa ticket mo. yan ang reason bakit namamahalan tayo sa ticket pabalik. pero kung tutuusin mas mura pa rin compare sa airport tax & terminal fee dito sa tin.

[_ilovepink_]

Thanks sis rocky! Do we have to bring a map just in case? Sorry, first timers...

[ayami]

Nagcecelebrate ba ng New Year (Gregorian calendar) sa Hong Kong? Nataon kasing Jan 1 nandon kami, e gusto ko rin sana makakita ng fireworks (nakagawian na sa Pinas) para sa New Year feel. Meron kayang fireworks exhibition (ibang araw kasi kami sa Disney Land) sa mismong 12 midnight ng Jan 1?

[_ilovepink_]

ahhh, so meron pala free maps sa airport (i backread)...

is there any ATM sa HK that we can possibly use our BDO or BPI to get cash? anyone tried this? we are planning to just bring HKD...baka kulangin.

tia!

[theflygirl]

^There are plenty of ATMs, which you can use. Just look for the Cirrus logo, and such, whatever's on your ATM card. Mind you though, there's a service charge per transaction so it's best to get a bit more than what you estimate than withdrawing a lot of times.

[lilstar]

Na excite naman ako sa HK-Macau trip namin sa January, worry ko lang baka super ginaw dun at di kayanin ng mga damit namin. Dapat ko na i-ready ang isusuot namin specially my 6yo son.

I read somewhere na super lamig daw kahit patong patong na ang mga damit. 

[ysa.belle]

hoping to visit HK soon but baka SG muna...ask ko lang if what magandang month magpunta HK? i know madaming tao lagi sa Disneyland pero ano kaya yung hindi naman super peak na month? advise naman mga sis and anong magandang airline sabi kase ang cebu pacific is puro sakit ng ulo and yung mga itinerary ninyo kayo lang ba nagdecide or kumuha kayo ng tour? tia!

[gabby_13]

yun na nga problem ko mga sis, fully booked na yui fei at golden crown, cosmic meron pa pero puro bad reviews naman...haaay...saan pa ba, naririnig ko kasi dito okay daw pag sa my TST area.

[prettynvain]

Mga saan ba ok mag store ng luggage if we go first to ngong ping sa loob b citygate un o tung chung station? Thanks

citygate.. limited lang yung sa ngong ping eh..40 lockers lang ata or less

yes pagpatak ng Jan 1 pero not as much as pinas.. saka sa victoria harbour lang unlike pinas na everywhere meron. saka short span of time lang 5-10mins lang ata.. tapos taxis and card will honk.. yun lang. wala ppa ring tatalo  sa new year sa Pinas. sa times square & ifc countdown lang tapos you can see the fireworks coming from Harbour City

is there any ATM sa HK that we can possibly use our BDO or BPI to get cash? anyone tried this? we are planning to just bring HKD...baka kulangin.

tia!

any atm machine basta merong cirrus, maestro logo. though may charge 150pesos ata per transaction, so diretso withdraw mo na wag ka na mag-inquire kasi may charge uli ata yun (not really sure).

[prettybarbie]

May countdown sa Times Square every new year and may fireworks sa Harbour City.

_ilovepink_ if you're staying in central area, may BDO bank sa central sa may jollibee... but anyways you can still use naman your BDO card in other atm machines just like what theflygirl said.

[gabby_13]

ok po ba sa nagaland? puro fully booked na kc lahat, last choice ko na po to, any reviews po

[neneng_bee]

yun na nga problem ko mga sis, fully booked na yui fei at golden crown, cosmic meron pa pero puro bad reviews naman...haaay...saan pa ba, naririnig ko kasi dito okay daw pag sa my TST area.

Sis, try mo ang Taisan Hostel since fully booked  na ang Golden Crown.
