Hong Kong Guide (Thread 36)

yes nasa baba ang pila hindi mo naman sya ma-mimiss kasi may malaking Peak Tram na sign. pwede ka mag-take ng red na MTR tas bumaba ka ng central na station tapos walk ka na lang. If I remember correctly J2 ang exit. check mo sa MTR App.

So iyon nga sis sakay ka ng tram going up sa Peak. i am not sure kung pwede one way lang going up then bus pababa. pero kami kasi round trip ginawa namin. tapos yung sky terrace separate payment pero pwedeng ang kuhanin mong ticket ay yung kasama na. 75 hkd each yata yung roundtrip at may sky terrace access na. pwede mo din gamitin octopus card dun.

May single trip sa tram

[MedChic]

Will post here asap.

Thank you mga sis Excited na ako for our trip next month. Sana hindi maulan....

Peak tram either you take the bus at bus terminal at IFC or you walk pa going to the peak terminus which I don't like! It's quite a walk from mtr. Hindi ko Siya carry Pag mainit na, around 10mins walk tapos pataas pa yung way haha!

What we did, since Madami kami we just took a cab going up the peak from MTR Central--HKD 50/way divided by 4 of us.  Cheaper than taking a bus & tram. Though for first timers I'd really reco riding the peak tram and better to go at night.

we'll be there on 2nd week of May.  together w/ our 6 & 3 yo boys. pinagiisipan ko kung ipapalasap ko sa kanila ang disneyland hotel.  they have early bird promo (booked at least 45 days) 

Q: 1.  is there a nice view of fireworks from disneyland hotel? if yes? where? what room should i book to see the fireworks?

2.  what other things/activities/amenities my boys can enjoy in the said hotel? 

3.  sa mahal ng hotel pano namin masusulit?

[princess lorraine]

^pag kingdom club rooms kayo sis maganda daw ang view ng fireworks from the kingdom club lounge. But it's a little pricey. For me, mas girly ang disneyland hotel. Pag boys, parang mas bagay ang hollywood hotel. Opinion ko lang yun sis ha. More on mga disney princess characters kasi ang umiikot sa disneyland hotel eh. But if you dine at enchanted garden resto, there's mickey, goofy and pluto din. And yung interior ng hotel feeling ko mas girly.

mga sis will be travelling on march 20 with hubby and 2 kids 7yo and 1yo.is it OK to stay in a hostel as most of the time were out.which is the best hostel with a hotel feel?clean comfy low price.super budgeted kasi trip.we just want to go to disney.

[SOFIEMAE]

^ try mo sa mirador mansion sis basta wag lang sa chungking mansion hehe

just got back from our feb 19 to 24 mla/hk/macau/mla

i availed HK tshirt sa mongkok 7pcs @ HKD90.00 only, maganda naman ang quality (same lang sa 5pcs for hkd100.00) bandang gitna na ang location ng nagtitinda ang kukulit lang ng mga tindera katakot magtanong ng price parang pag nagtanong ka lang dapat you have to buy it na at hahawakan ka gang hindi mo binibili kahit magkano ibibigay nila basta mabilhan mo lang sila kahit super liit ng tawad ibinibigay na, like jade earrings una sabi HKD199 sabi ko its too expensive... inalok ako ng 50% off nalang daw, sabi ko still expensive how much daw gusto ko, sinagot ko hkd30.00 biglang binigay sana pala 20 lang baka binigay pa rin hehe...

@ princess lorraine

thank you so much for the suggestion. 

additional Q: 
1. pag sa hollywood hotel ano naman ang pwedeng masulit ng boys ko? 
2. fireworks can still be viewed in hollywood?
3. can we still have breakfast sa enchanted kingdom kahit di kami nakabook sa disneyland hotel?

ang IT draft kasi namin is
1st day (w/8AM ETA) -  citygate / NP360.  then pm check-in sa hotel (either hollywood/disney).  the rest of the day will be spent sa hotel na lang para masulit naman yung stay.  that's why im asking for the activities. that's why im asking din kung pwede ma-view yung fireworks para kahit di na namin hintayin the next day. 
2nd day - disneyland park
3rd day - OP / ikot sa Central and Avenue of star
4th day - Nanlian Garden / ikot-ikot lang ulit sa city (7PM flight namin)

thanks again ... (currently reading pinoyexhange forum)

Mga sis,

Baka naman pwede nyong share yung IT nyo ng HK-Macau? Lalo na yung 1 day lang sa Macau? Gusto ko sana malaman kung paano ang ginawa nyong "ikot" para ma-maximize ang time at para na din sa free shuttle? Thank you po.

[princess lorraine]

^^sis, you can check hong kong disneyland website. Hollywood hotel has park view rooms. Not sure lang if maganda talaga ang view ha. You can still dine at enchanted garden resto even if you're staying at hollywood hotel. You just need to reserve in advance kasi they get fully booked most of the time. 

[jamberryknots]

Hi sis, tip lang baka ma-bore yung 15 yr old niece mo sa Macau pero depending on her interests ok lang din siguro kaso it's like mini Vegas kasi (personally for me both Vegas and Macau are kinda boring when I was not het of legal age)

Ngong ping usually takes half a day for you to fully appreciate the place. If you like shopping mabe try Tsim Sha Tsui also.

Thanks sis! picture picture lang gusto ko dun actually haha no plans of playing naman sa casino, masabi lang makapagmacau and drop by sa senado square (Tama ba? haha) and sa ruins ng church

^Citygate Outlet mall in Tung Chung sis johan827.

@ sis princess lorraine, noted park view.  may nakita rin akong amenities comparison ng both hotels over the net.  thank you so much. 

^Citygate Outlet mall in Tung Chung sis johan827.

@ sis pink12. thanks for the info.

[girl_to_mom]

mga sis how to get to Golden Crown/New Yiu Fai to Disneyland?

[Heatherette]

^Take the TST MTR. May subway katabi si New Yiu Fai/GC, go there and take the red line going to Lai King. Change to orange line going to Sunny Bay then change to pink line going to DL.

[Cari]

Mga Sis,

Sa CTS sana ako bibili ng ticket namin for The Peak (Peak Tram lang ), pipila pa rin ba kami ng mahaba
kapag dating sa The peak?

[Heatherette]

^Yes. May pila pa rin to ride the tram.

[presyosa ligaya]

i checked golden crown for our hotel accommodation sa June trip pero ganun ba talaga kabilis ma-fully book dun. hirap hanap lalo first time namin sa HK.
