Sis bangenge, you can take the airport express to kowloon then from there, there's a free shuttle that will take you to holiday inn golden mile. 

[bagaholic_chewy]

Hi, pa ask naman po ulit mga sis, what's the most comfy mode of transpo from HKIA to Holiday inn Nathan Rd? We're group of 7 adults with a 2yr old toddler & a senior citizen, tapos may luggage/suitcase and pram/stroller kaming bitbit.  If mag taxi kmi how much kya fare per taxi kasi I heard may add'l pay ang luggage and stroller sa taxi.  Malapit lang ba A21 bus stop sa Holiday Inn? pang ilang bus stop kaya sya? TIA

Sis, since madami kayo tapos me kasamang toddler and senior citizen, why don't you arrange transfers c/o Holiday Inn Golden Mile? I think you'll fit in a van or maybe two cars.. Or if not through the hotel, get a car service na lang sa airport, yung van para kasya kayo at hindi naman ma-haggard.

Mga sis question naman, how much kaya ang The Peak Tram if d kasama yung wax museum? Parang di ko kasi gusto yung mga wax,. Thanks!

[little_princess]

^ if i remember right, 40hkd. they have a package na kasama na sky deck but the night we went, nag tram lang kami kasi it was very foggy.

different talaga yung price ng wax museum but i think worth it to go

[lilstar]

^ Thanks sis.,

lapit na kasi kami umalis sis. naeexcite na ako lalo na yung 6yo son namin. ^^

Super lamig na ba sa HK by 3rd week of Jan? Need pa ba namin bumili ng mittens?

[little_princess]

^ check the weather kasi when we were there, there were 2 days na malamig and i would have appreciated if i had gloves. medyo erratic ngayon eh, basta anytime before chinese new year, malamig pa.

[lilstar]

^ noted yan sis. Siguro mag ready na lang ako ng mittens specially for our son. Baka biglang lumamig kawawa naman.

Thanks sis!

wala bang may links sa mga old HK threads?   sana kasama siya sa first page para mas mahaba ang maibaback read =) (nagbaback read din ako sa PEX)

anyway, planning a trip to HK (with a side trip to Macau) this coming holy week, expensive ang airfare but no choice, yun lang available dates namin.

already reserved room in Golden Crown, paid the deposit na din.
one way pa lang nabobook ko (28MAR), SIN-HKG (for me) and MNL-HKG (bf),
yung pauwi mas mahal (31Mar) kaya next sweldo na lang LOLzz

first time to visit HK! malamig pa ba ang last week of March? have checked some info on the web i want to confirm lang. I have some Mild winter clothes from Uniqlo but medyo maninipis naman yung mga yun, keri pa ba yun or hinde na?

still planning my 4 day itinerary, gonna skip Ocean Park, will I miss a Lot?
until what time open mga shops sa TST? iniisip ko kasi kung meron pa magagawa after mag Disneyland.

and also, super daming tao ba sa HK during holyweek? like pag CNY and Christmas season?

 

[prettybarbie]

^malamig pa pag March... layering ka na lang sis kung di kayanin ng jacket.

Kung may kasama kang kids okay sa Ocean Park, kung wala naman okay lang to skip it.

Parang di naman sine-celebrate ang Holy Week dito, pero lagi naman talaga madami tao, kahit walang okasyon LOL. Yung mga Mall sa TST usually hanggang 10pm. You can try Causeway Bay minsan hanggang 11 bukas pa yung Sogo Mall don pati yung ibang shops sa labas

[ficklemind]

^ thanks sis sa mabilis na reply.

ahh malamig pa pala, kala ko medyo OA na yung mga susuot ko mukhang kulang pa ata.

yup, skip ko na Ocean Park, 2 adults lang kami, yung kasama ko lang naman mahilig sa themepark eh, kung ako lang talaga skip ko na din Disneyland.

Sana hinde super daming tao during Holy Week.

hmm. mukhang hinde na talaga kami makakapagmall after Disneyland kasi nood pa kami nung fireworks , makagimik na lang kaya?

sis prettybarbie, may marerecommend kang bar or a place just to make tambay lang and have few drinks around TST?

thanks!

[prettybarbie]

around TST wala, kung gusto nyo ng nightlife sa Lan Kwai Fong sa Central dapat kayo magpunta. Don ang Nightlife Capital ng HK lol. Andon lahat ng klase ng bar and clubs. Don ang puntahan ng mga turista na mahilig gumimik. Don madami ako maire-recommend

Don din maganda tumambay, madami ka makikita don.

[burberi]

@sis ficklemind, kung 2 adults naman kayo mag Ocean Park nalang kayo kesa Disneyland. Boring yung Disneyland para sakin and mas mahal entrance fee lol. Mas nagustuhan namin ni boyfriend yung OP kasi mas malawak and mas maraming exciting na rides unlike sa DL na puro kid friendly at nakakahilo lang. Pero kung gusto nyo pumunta dun dahil sa shows, keri lang.

[ficklemind]

^ noted yan sis, pagiisipan ko mabuti haha lol well, hinde ako mahilig sa rides in general, tamad pa ako pagdating sa pilahan, yung kasama ko lang mageenjoy sa ganun.

^^ sige sis dyan na lang sa Lan Kwai Fong kung may marerecommend ka, yung medyo low-key lang sana hehe chillax lang naman. kaso need na namin magcab nun no pauwi TST?

[kenjiekenj]

May nakapunta na ba sa inyo sa milan station shop? Mura ba bags compared sa original price?

[prettybarbie]

^^May mga mini bus, pero mas okay pag cab kasi first time nyo.

Kung mag oobserve lang kayo okay tumambay sa Al's Diner, Zinc or Hard Rock kasi may mga upuan sya sa labas kitang kita nyo lahat ng dumadaan na tao, mas maganda kung makakapunta kayo ng friday or saturday, lahat ng klase ng tao makikita nyo don, all shapes and sizes LOL.

Regarding Burberi's post ako naman mas gusto ko ang Disneyland kesa Ocean Park, hindi naman kasi ko mahilig sa rides at ilang beses ko na din nakita yung Dolphin show at Aquarium. For me mas masaya sa Disney, Maganda yung The Golden Mickey Show, Stitch Encounter (super funny to), then yung favorite ko na PhilharMagic 3D show complete with effects, parang natitikman mo yung mga pagkain dahil complete with scent, air and water effects hehe. Maganda din yung Parade. Meron din indoor roller coaster kung gusto nyo ng rides.

^Milan station shop mostly second hand ang binebenta nila don

[vanekski]

Wow ang dami kong nakukuhang ideas just reading comments! Thanks sissies! Im excited sa hk trip namin ni hubby sa april.. Ask ko lang din ano po marerecommend nyo na dinner or lunch buffet na medyo mura lang and sulit. Gusto ko kase surprise si hubby. Thanks again 

[pampam2]

Naku mukhang maraming naka schedule sa March sa HK  malapit na excited na din ako.

Mga sis tips naman sa Disneyland what to prioritize para ma-maximize 'yong time..saka mahaba ba talaga pila sa mga Disney characters pag nag pa picture? couple lang din kami with our 4 yr old daughter. We'll be visiting Ocean Park also the ff day... ..TIA

[little_princess]

i actually like disneyland better than ocean park. siguro kasi we often go to ocean park as a kid and nasawa na ako. plus i feel that the marine animals aren't supposed to be there, they have to be in the wild. and mas happy yung feel sa disney like another sis said.

re disney, prioritize the show with times and pila lang sa characters na gusto niyo talaga kasi mauubos time ninyo if you line up for each and every character. they have 2 new sections btw

re milan station, madami din silang second hand and brand new bags but the price difference isn't that big so i'd rather buy brand new, direct from the store. mas rewarding and nice yung experience.
