Hong Kong Guide (Thread 36)

[kittycat228]

sa golden crown kami kumuha ng ticket to macau. mas mura ang ticket compared sa direct na pupunta ka sa cotai. open pa ang time nung ticket. nag mtr lang kami nung pabalik since iba yung port pabalik ng hongkong and parang 10 pm na kami nakabalik. ang mahal naman ng taxi!

[Cari]

Mga sis, thank you. Pero ano ibig sabibin ng iba ang port pabalik ng hongkong?

[girl_to_mom]

mga sis san nabili ng octopus card??thanks

[SOFIEMAE]

You can buy the Octopus Card in the Airport or in any MTR station Customer Service Counter in the Arrivals Hall near Burger King / Cafe de Coral...

kami hindi bumili ng octopus card

[girl_to_mom]

ano disadvantage at advantage ng octopus card??

[SOFIEMAE]

IMO lang, advantage ng octopus card walang hassle tap ka lang ng tap sa mga MTR station, pwedeng pang pay s 711, etc... lalo na kung nagmamadali ka hindi mo na kailangan maghanda ng pamasahe mo
 
for disadvantage, parang wala naman lalo na sa mga locals for like us lang siguro na tourist if ever hindi mo naubos yung load sayang lalo na kung hindi kana babalik sa HK or if refund mo naman sabi may bawas pa parang service fee ata kaya maximize mo ang gamit at sayang kaya better refund it

actually my OC naman akong dala hindi ko lang pinaloadan, from airport to TST cash ginamit namin then everytime na mag MTR kami buy nalang kami dali lang naman din walang pila... hindi naman kami nahirapan dahil kahit wala kang exact amount yung mga machine kiosk sa MTR nila dun automatic may pang sukli ang galing then card din ilalabas ... nag enjoy lang kami tsaka monitored namin ang pamasahe, sa machine kasi makikita mo dun kung magkano naman dapat na pay mo basta alam mo kung saan ka babang istayon pero kung parati kayong nagmamadali much better to buy OC kami walang pakialam sa time heheh...

[tough_chic]

pwede refund sa customer service yung octupus card or the airport express card. 50 hkd din yun mga sis. yung octopus card kahit zero balance na pwede mo pa magamit. basta lang siguro hindi ka lalagpas dun sa 50 hkd na deposit ng card.

[tough_chic]

[tough_chic]

kung sa golden crowne ka bibili ng ticket, ang port is sa HK island instead of Kowloon. Train lang naman going there so okay lang yun. Just make sure na makabalik ka ng Hongkong before midnight para makapagtrain ka parin going to your hotel kasi mahal nga yung taxi.

Ang laki rin kasi ng difference ng regular fare sa disounted rates ng GC.

[presyosa ligaya]

nag-PM ulit ako sa GC and meron na available room for us para June travel. ang problem ko naman ngayon is kung paano ko ideposit yun room reservation. binigyan ako option via credit card and bank transfer. which is better ba mga sis, cc or bank transfer, sowi, first time lang magtransaction outside PH. TIA.

[C+C]

^buti kapa naa-accommodate pa ng GC. for me, mas ok ang cc,..less hassle sis

[sleepy_grfld]

Fake daw yung nabili naming HKD400 feng shui pendant sa Jewelry Factory. Charge to experience.

[presyosa ligaya]

thanks sis C + C, naka-reserve na din finally ng accommodation sa GC for 2 nights via CC. itarget ko naman muna ang 1 night na accommodation sa macau. lipat muna ako dun. salamat sisses.

Hi sis ENTwife, yung terminal hindi malapit sa TST? Mag-MTR Pa kami papunta at pabalik sa Terminal?

TIA!

[SOFIEMAE]

sis Cari, san ka ba mag hohotel? dalawa kasi ang ferry terminal sa HK to Macau, kami from TST nilakad lang namin ang China Ferry halos kasing layo lang (or mejo far ng konti heheh) pag nag punta ka ng Avenue of Stars kakanan ka nga lang yun yung malaking building na kulay green...

Option 1 for those residing in Kowloon (Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, etc):

TST China Ferry Terminal (New World First Ferry): 33 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. (Beside Harbour City)

Take a taxi from where you are staying when residing in Kowloon. Flagdown rate if coming from Tsim Sha Tsui. The Ferry Terminal is roughly a 600M to 800M walk (8-10min) from hotels/hostels in TST. So yes you can also walk going there.

Option 2 for those residing in HK Island (Causeway Bay, North Point, Central, etc):

Sheung Wan Ferry Terminal (Turbojet and Cotai Jet) - On top of Sheung Wan MTR Station

By MTR: MTR (from either TST/JORDAN/MONGKOK) -> Admiralty (interchange to Sheung Wan Line) -> Sheung Wan MTR Exit D (3rd Flr Shun Tak centre)

By MTR: MTR (from either CAUSEWAY BAY/WANCHAI) -> Sheung Wan MTR Exit D (3rd Flr Shun Tak centre)

By Taxi: Take a taxi for those residing in HK Island with plenty of luggage.
