HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 32)

[prettybarbie]

^^Lockhart Road and Hennesy Road are already part of Wanchai, mejo malayo kung lalakarin, just take the MTR, 1 stop lang to from Causeway Bay. Pero sa Causeway Bay mismo madami ka na maiikutan, andon ang Times Square, Hysan, Windsor at Sogo, lakad lakad ka lang usually late na nagsasara ang mga shops don.

You can buy souvenirs in central, don sa may tapat ng H&M, iskinita sya na parang maliit na tiangge. Meron din sa malapit sa forever 21 sa causeway bay (sa may gilid, malapit sa Bonjour) madami din mga kung ano ano don.

mga sis, planning to book dinner at enchanted garden ng  6:00pm slot, pwde pa ba kami bumalik sa park after dinner  para manuod ng fireworks? papayagan pa kaya kami makapasok uli sa park?

[runbarbierun]

^ Pwede sis.

Sa mga nagwa-wonder about luggage storage in Ngong Ping -- under maintenance din yung lockers nila. But they have luggage storage service pa din naman, but instead of lockers, they put your bag in a holding room sa may locker area lang din. Hindi na hourly ang rate - instead they charge per bag na - hkd50/piece fixed rate.

Tried it today and ok naman ang handling nila. Di ko lang sure until when yung per piece charging nila - di ko natanong kelan ulit magiging functional yung lockers for rent..

[engroselle]

tama po ba na yung lockers ng citygate and ngong ping are under construction?

[bagaholic_chewy]

I can confirm na yung lockers sa Ngong Ping are unavailable for rent as of today (and i don't know until when). Yung sa Citygate, na-post lang ng isang sis dito previously na sarado din daw..

[little_princess]

another option for bag storage would be in the airport terminals, tried it before though i don't remember how much it cost us na.

[engroselle]

for any of those that are in hk now, baka po you can post here if ever you get to know how much ang luggage lockers sa airport?
thanks!

sa june kami hk, inabutan na nga ng price increase ng DL tix, nawala pa locker options. hay! 

[little_princess]

^ try to google, i'm sure meron yan or sa HKIA website alam ko naka list yun. as far as i remember, it's set number of hours eh

[ficklemind]

^^ sis, it's 10hkd per piece per hour. mas maaga kasi ng 4 hours flight ni bf, so pagalis niya, iniwan ko gamit ko sa  sa t2 then nagpunta ako Citygate. nitong holyweek lang to.

[bagaholic_chewy]

Sa mga mag-i-HK soon, just want to share prices ng CTS and Yiu Fai for some attractions.

For DL and NP, sa CTS kami bumili. dumiretso na kasi kami ng NgongPing from the airport.
Disneyland - CTS hkd388 // Yui Fai hkd420
NgongPing - CTS hkd135 // Yiu Fai hkd110

For the following, nakalimutan ko price ng CTS, but i believe they're cheaper by about hkd5-10. We decided to buy from Yiu Fai na since minimal price difference lang.
The Peak (3-in-1 ticket) - Yiu Fai hkd210
OceanPark - Yiu Fai hkd250

what do you think guys?

thanks!

[runbarbierun]

^ Sis, we did that exact itinerary before. Doable but pagod kami lahat. 18+ pa kami ha, no kids.

[rocky]

^^DAY 2
since may baby kayong kasama super pagod yan

DAY 3

Hi sissies! We'll be in HK April 25-27. Ask ko lang kung strict ba Disney Hollywood Hotel sa no. of pax per room? 3adults and 2kids kase kame. My friend told me na hindi naman daw, am just making sure. This is our 1st time sa Disney Hotel. Usually sa Hotel Benito kame. Appreciate feedback. TIA.

Hoping or a good weather.

Hi Sis, before 6 adults kami sa DL hollywood hotel. Last Nov 2012 lang un, hindi sila strict pero you have to be discreet din. Malaki naman yung room, 3 persons in a bed kami. pero ok pa din naman. we stayed at 1 room lang kasi sayang naman kasi yung 3 sa kasama namin, super early ng flight pauwi ng philippines so they left at 6am din.

[ilovenaffy]

ask ko lang po yung tinanong earlier...
since under construction yung lockers ng citygate, where else po pwede mag-iwan ng luggage? sa citygate sana kami mag deposit ng luggage e. we'll be travelling on june 7-9. tapos n kaya construction sa citygate by that time?
 thanks po!

sa mga sis po na nasa HK, any news po re sa flu virus sa Shanghai? any travel advisories released?
thanks po!

Hi sis, pwede sa ngong ping, sa baba ng terminal ng cable car.

btw, nag back read kasi ako nabasa ko un regarding sa DL tickets. try mo sa www.asiatravelcare.com
kaso 370hkd dyan. pero e- ticket sila and pwede mo ipakita na lang un sa DL na mismo.
atleast kung galing kang airport, ok na din un. kesa pumunta ka sa TST tapos babalik ka din ulit

[08joan08]

hi tanong ko lang may bayad ba cable car sa loob ng ocean park?
