HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 35)

[princess lorraine]

^^im not surebsis kung merong lunch. I would suggest you have breakfast there yung second batch which is at 9:30am to 11am. Parang brunch narin. Kahit walang bata super enjoy and sulit eto sis. Usually pag breakfast sila mickey, daisy, pluto and goofy nandun. Pag dinner si minnie naman instead of daisy.

@yapeegurl:  talaga sis may bayad yung luggage kahit check-in ay that day? arrival namin sis 9am tapos plan ko punta sa hotel iwanan yung baggage at diretso ngongping. kakasad naman kung yun may bayad din.

Sis, if I may butt in.. pwede din kayo diretso sa Ngong Ping from airport, mas malapit pa. Me lockers for rent sa me baba ng Tung Chung cable car station. If under maintenance ang lockers, pwede pa din mag-iwan sa uniformed staff nila, nilalagay nila sa storage area, per piece ang bayad, bibigyan kayo claim stub. Twice na namin ginawa na from airport e diretso NP, mas time-efficient kasi, IMO. Minsan dun kami NP naglunch, minsan naman sa Citygate kami semi-late lunch, before heading to TST to check-in. Sa CTS airport counter kami bumili ng ticket pa Ngong Ping para pagdating dun sa Tung Chung e skip na sa mahabang pila. Me separate window kasi sa mga meron ng prepaid vouchers.

@bagaholic_chewy: sis thank you sa tip! Yan na gawin namin sis. Tama time efficient. Sana mura rin sa cts yung tickets sa ngongping. Pero habol ko time kaya baka cts na kami buy ticket din.


@princesslorraine: sis nagpareserve ba kayo sa enchanted? Di ba pwede walkin dun? Thanks ulit!

[princess lorraine]

^sis, i would suggest that you make a reservation kasi most of the time puno yun lAlo na during breakfast. 

[jasmine3689]

^oo nga sis tawagan kona lang kasi dec puntanamin maaman andaming tao nga. salamat!

[yapeegurl]

jasmine3689, yung sa amin kasi nag checkout kami then we left our baggage and may bayad iyon. Pero baka iba case kapag mag che-checkin pa lang. But be prepared na lang din in case singilin kayo. Pero pala derecho na kayo sa NP kaya solve na prob mo Enjoy!

joyssabel, stapled na din ang sa akin when I went to HK nung September and same nitong November.

Hi, just arrived from HK. Nope, wala pang visa pero hindi na sila nagstamp on arrival. Printout ng arrival date and how many days the tourist is allowed to stay then stapler nila yun sa passport.

Thanks sis, I really hope mag appeal pa tayo or sana by 2016 na lang nila ipatupad.

Sis tama ba, 14 days max allowed mag-stay ang tourist? Do they sometimes lessen it?

[MIGSmom]

San may malapit money changer sa Golden Crown TST?  Thanks!

[luscious_peach]

^^ Sis ganyan before. But due to the unresolved Luneta hostage crisis maghihigpit sila.

Naconfuse ako bigla. Tama ba na once the new guidelines take effect, even a 3-day stay would require a visa?

[Heatherette]

^Luma na yung news report sis. As of now, wala pa rin balita on that visa. Diba binigyan ang Phils ng 1 month para ayusin yung demands nga ng HK.

^^^In my experience, 14 days ang binibigay. Never pa na-lessen.

[ava_camille]

Any iphone apo na useful for the HK trip like yung may maps, must see sight etc

[Heatherette]

^This is what I used:

I'll be traveling with my nephew. Aside from the DSWD clearance for minors, meron pa ba ako ibang kailangan? 

Also, pwede bang mag-star ferry from The Peak going to Avenue of Stars?

Thanks!

[mitch13]

Has anybody here been to Hong Kong alone?? My friend won't be able to come with me so might as well go alone. Aside from eating and shopping, what are the things I could do alone in HK for a 3 day trip?

sis baka pwde me sumama sayo, im travelling alone din. kelan ang byahe mo?

[rocky]

^^sakay ka pa ng bus or taxi papuntang pier

[princessgladies]

mas okay ba bumili online ng ticket for Disneyland and Ocean Park or dun na lang?
thank you . will go there this Dec 5 na, hopefully may sumagot

[chocolat]

^ i tried buying disneyland tickets online. for me, there's no difference from buying it there coz even if you buy it online, you'll still have to pickup the tickets.

also, according to our sisses here, you can buy discounted tickets at gc. i'm going to hk this weekend and i plan to get our tickets from them.

Sis, I travelled with my nephew before. DSWD clearance lang ang pinakita ko sa IO dito sa Pinas. Sa HK, wala na.

Pagbaba ng Peak Lower Tram Terminus, you need to take bus or taxi going to ferry terminal.

[burberi]

Sisses, post ko lang dito yung prices ng GC. In fairness, majority mas mura kesa sa CTS.
