Hong Kong Guide (Thread 37)

[luscious_peach]

Comments naman mga sis sa Day 3 itinerary namin:

- Museum of History
- Nan Lian Garden/ Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple/Causeway Bay
- Sky 100
- House of Wax/The Peak

OK kaya sa Sanry's magpapalit ng HKD at MOP o HKD na lang? May 1 day tour kasi kami sa Macau. Last week of September trip namin. Excited na ko!

[ross24]

^mas preferred sa Macau ang HKD sis kasi 1HKD = .98... MOP
Sa casinos naman di tumatanggap ng MOP.

[rocky]

^^ok naman sa sanry's, HKD na lang bilhin mo then pag nasa macau ka, insist mo na isukli syo HKD din. hindi mo kasi magagamit yang MOP sa HK

[zxcvbn]

Which is better to stay at in HK, Hotel Benito or Butterfly on Prat? Prices are similar. Hotel Benito I think is super near the station. Butterfly on Prat is a newer hotel. I can't decide.

[rocky]

^yes maganda location sis ng hotel benito paglabas mo konting lakad lang MTR na then sa baba daming mga kainan & convenience store

[_pink12_]

^^Hotel Benito rin for me if you're looking for good location sis. Di rin naman kalumaan yung Benito, medyo masikip nga lang.

yung Day 3 at Day 4 mo binabasa ko pa lang napapagod na ko haha. Doable naman pero nakakapagod kasi ang daming byahe, pero kung sanay naman kayo sa byahe at lakad, keri na yan.

[kenoy]

Mga sis ano difference ng sky100 at victoria peak? Which one is better? I only have time for one. TIA

[prettybarbie]

Yung peak nasa taas ng bundok, yunh sky 100 nasa taas ng building. Better ang peak so you can also experience the peak tram.

[rocky]

korek! ibang experience yong peak tram, maganda view paakyat sa right side

[shobe17]

Speaking of Sky100, balak din namin puntahan ito. Nakapunta na kase kame sa The Peak last time. Ano suggested ITI na pwede isabay sa Sky100? 2 adults kame and our 2yr old. Day 1 namin is OP, Day 2 DL. TIA!

[zxcvbn]

@rocky and @_pink12_: Thanks so much for your input!

I'm so excited for our upcoming HK trip. So many threads here to read up on.

[kenoy]

The peak it is! Salamat!

[luscious_peach]

yung Day 3 at Day 4 mo binabasa ko pa lang napapagod na ko haha. Doable naman pero nakakapagod kasi ang daming byahe, pero kung sanay naman kayo sa byahe at lakad, keri na yan.

Haha! Ako nga din sis napagod sa kareresearch nyan. Ang problem is first time namin both sa HK kaya mangangapa pa kami sa byahe. I revised the Days 3 and 4 itinerary:


DAY 3 (Wednesday)
- Museum of History
- Jade Market/Street in Kowloon
- House of Wax/The Peak until dinner

DAY 4 (Thursday)
- Ngong Ping Village/Giant Buddha
- City Gate outlets in Tung Chung
- Night markets in Mongkok

OK na ba mga sis? Binawasan ko kaka CS ko nga lang pala nung April baka bumuka tahi ko. hehe

Follow-up question: Pano pumunta ng the peak tram pag galing ng Kowloon? Anong MTR station baba?

[prettybarbie]

FROM ADMIRALTY MTR STATION take exit C1 and cross the bridge over Queensway to Pacific Place. In Pacific Place take the escalators on right which run up alongside the shopping mall. Go to the very top and cross the road to Hong Kong Park and follow the signs through Hong Kong Park to the Lower Peak Tram Terminus. Walking will take about 15 mins.

Sa forecast mukhang maulan lately, sana next week hindi. Will be in HK with my son sa 17. I've been to HK several times but first time with a child and first time to stay at HK Disney Hotel! I'm so excited. Sana  hindi ako mahirapan.

[luscious_peach]

^^ Thanks so much sis prettybarbie! 

[prettybarbie]

^^ for sure mag eenjoy ang anak mo sa Disney Hotel... Mainit pa din as usual, umuulan pa konti konti pero di naman daily.

[shakeshake]

mga sis, alam nyo ba kung tumatanggap ng credit card yung CTS sa airport? para sa mga discounted tickets for Disney, OP and The Peak? TIA
