HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 34)

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, for travel between TST and Disneyland, allot 45mins-1hr siguro to be sure, kasama lakad to/from stations. Then for NP, ayaw nyo cable car both ways? Konti lang difference sa ticket price for one-way or roundtrip. You can walk from Tung Chung MRT station to the cable car station. You can buy your tickets in advance sa HKIA (sa CTS, for example), para bawas pila sa cable car station, me separate pila kasi for prepaid tickets.

(On another note, NP cable car is closed daw for maintenance for 3weeks, starting nung Monday yata. So if walang cable car, bus 23 or Blue Lantau taxi nga yung other options)

^Thanks for your inputs, sis.

Will consider going toa nd from NP360 by cable car sis. before kase, I plan to go there via bus kase 10AM pa ang bukas ng cable car. Gusto ko kase makabalik na kami sa Hollywood Hotel before 12NN. Kaya madaliang picture-picture lang yan... hehe...

I will also try to book online yung NP 360 tickets para we don't have to join the long queue anymore...

Hopefully open na yung cable car when we visit. next year pa naman kami, April 2014 pa... OC lang ako kaya as early as now I am making the itinerary na. Haha...

By the way, what's the weather gonna be like on that month? Malamig pa ba or pa-summer na? Jackets are needed pa or summer clothes?

Thanks again, sis.

We were there April this year. Mainit, though minsan me cold breeze sa hapon or gabi, so we brought light jacket. Tsaka umaambon-ambon din nung nasa hk kami.

[travelling_daisy]

Oh, medyo mainit na pala ang April. Thanks, sis.

[workinmom]

^aww shucks! Kala ko makakalibre man lang kami sa fare ng kids. Hehe

@rocky - yung fares indicated there are roundtrip na or one way pa [textspeak!]. Ang mahal kasi if one way pa lang e.

[rocky]

^sis, syempre one-way lang. don ka lang sa economy tutal 1 hour lang naman

sis m_lim, we stayed at the Holiday Inn at Times Square last Dec and it is a very long walk to the subway. Yes, the station entrance is located right at times square but the actual subway is located in the vicinity of Sogo. Not to mention is is a sloping ramp, so when you come back you have to walk UP the ramp. It was exhausting and I always dreaded the walk. But then we didn't have a stroller and I used a carrier lang.

I don't know what other hotel options you have but you may want to look for something closer to Sogo. If I remember correctly, there is an elevator access to the subway at the street parallel (Lockhart) to Excelsior (Jaffe), so you may want to consider that hotel.

Oh when making your reservations already request for the infant cot, there's only a limited number at the hotels. It comes with bedding but bring some from home so your daughter has a sense of familiarity.

[m_lim]

^thank you sis! buti hindi pa ako nakabook sa Holiday.
