sis ellyrem i prefer Itinerary 1...

[kristinebarrios]

My mom created our ITI for our trip next month. OK naman kaya? galing na kami HKlast year and napuntahan na naminang Ngong Ping, Disneyland and Oceanpark. This year, gusto pa rin ng mom ko pumunta sa Disneyland (addict kay Mickey Mouse eh!) saka Macau.
Ask ko lang kung anong OK na ITI for day 2, 3 and 4? Mostly shopping ang gagawin namin.

Problema namin ano ang mga pupuntahan sa Macau, at ano ang unang pupuntahan pagdating doon.

NOV 18 - 22

DAY 1
7am - Depart Clark to HK
9am - Arrival at HKIA, travel to hotel in Chung King
12 noon - travel to Disneyland

Until what time ang Citygate? Gusto ko kasi dumaan dun after Disneyland. Kaso gusto pa panoorin ng mom ko yung fireworks. Aabot pa kaya kami sa Citygate after fireworks?

DAY 2 - Macau
7AM travel to China ferry terminal to Macau
Visit Venetian MAcau, Ruins of St Paul, Duty free (?)
-- any suggestions for a day trip ITI for Macau?
5AM travel back to HK

DAY 3 - HK Island
Visit the following places:
Causeway Bay - F21/Uniqlo/Clock tower
Admiralty - ano ba makikita dito? Nakasulat lang sa ITI ni mommy hehe
Wan Chai - ? Dont know any about this place either
Sheung Wan - ?
4PM - Victoria Peak

DAY 4 -  Kowloon
Temple Street Night Market
Ladies Market
Harbour City and Silvercord

nakakuha na pala ako ng price sa GC. Ang affordable! Hehe.

7 people kami, mas okay kaya na i-avail na lang namin yung airport transfer nila sa arrival namin? 350 HKD for 7 people daw...

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sulit na yang 350hkd na transfers for 7pax. Para wala ka na iisipin pagdating.

[chefron]

sis rocky thank you.

question about fa yuen st. :   are all shoe stores there sell orig items? baka may halong fake? how cheap sya?

[ellyrem]

sis ellyrem i prefer Itinerary 1...

oo nga nakita ko luma na yung post 2012 pa.. hehe meron na po kayang decorations yun by the end of November?

and noted.. feeling ko din mas applicable yung itinerary 1.. naisip ko kasi kung iiwan sa hotel pag check out luggage tapos punta sa snoopy and nan lian parang pabalik balik.. hehe mukhang magkakaiba sila ng way..

thanks po!

may update napo ba about sa mga nag rarally?

[shakeshake]

Just got back from our 4 days HK trip, we stayed in yiu fai.. same floor and same building siya with golden crown. Filipina din ang helper kaya very convenient.

weather is cool, parang tagaytay na. puro shorts pa naman dala ko haha.
the best nga pumunta during this month esp pag weekday. wala masyado pila sa OP and Disney. halos nalibot namin lahat and nasakyan ang rides and shows dahil nga walang pila.

may ginagawa sa snoopy world kaya parang closed yung half part pero enjoy parin sa mga kids.

tip lang, I found a mini grocery just across golden crown TST right behind giordano and across KFC named 'international mart', dun ako nakakita ng mga murang chocolates, noodles and zaini egg surprise worth 25HKD while 27HKD sa toy's r us.

[luscious_peach]

Sharing our itinerary and budget per head for our 5-day HK-Macau trip last week of September.
Sakto sa protests ang trip namin so we skipped OP and The Peak.

Day 1 - Manila to HK flight
Day 2 - Disneyland (410 hkd each; bought from GC)
Day 3 - Ngong Ping Village (120 hkd - standard cabin)
         - Avenue of Stars at night until Symphony of Lights
Day 4 - Museum of History/Science Museum (entrance fee - 30 hkd each)
         - Sky 100 (130hkd each)
         - Temple Street
Day 5 - Ferry to Macau, whole day Macau tour, Macau to Manila flight

Accommodation: Golden Crown Guesthouse (2,040hkd for 5D4N)
Airfaire: P2,500 (piso fare Cebu Pac)

In PHP, I spent roughly P33,000 for this trip. Di pa ako shopping galore nyan.
I plan to go back in 2016 when Ironman opens in Disneyland Plus The Peak and Ocean Park naman next time. Pagod sa kalalakad pero super enjoy

 

[ellyrem]

@shakeshake sis how's the room at  yiu fai? spacious din po ba? planning to get quadruple po sa kanila kasi wala na vacant sa GC.. huhu

@luscious_peach congrats laki natipid mo lalo na sa fare nag ask ako i think sa reservation ng cebupac almost 6k din ang roundtrip..

salamat po for sharing sisses..

[pxiegxie]

hi mga sis! we're going to hongkong on nov 17 to 20 and we will be staying at golden crown. does anyone know which sells cheaper ticket attractions, golden crown or china travel service? di ko kasi makita prices sa cts. TIA mga sis!

[luscious_peach]

^ I compared their prices when we went thereweeks ago. Mas cheaper sa GC that time  so sa GC kami bumili.

[thesoloist]

Sino pupuntang HK? pwede mag pabili? Hehe

[pxiegxie]

^ I compared their prices when we went thereweeks ago. Mas cheaper sa GC that time  so sa GC kami bumili.

thanks sis! nagreserve ka ba online sa GC or dun ka na lang mismo bumili pagdating nyo sis?

[shakeshake]

Mas mura tickets sa golden crown and mas mura if nagpaonline reserve kayo sa website.

Yung quadruple room sa yuifai is dalawang double bed and maganda din yung cr me shower enclosure.. We availed isang quadruple and isang triple room.. Sa triple room walang shower enclosure pero ok din naman. Mabait yung may ari and me free drinking water and me ref na pwede maglalagay ng food if you want hehe everyday din naglilinis and pinapalitan yung towels.

[luscious_peach]

^^ We bought upon check-in.

[crzysxycl]

Hello sisses! Next year pa ang punta namin ng HK, pero first time ko doon. May kasama akong tatlong first time mag travel outside the country kaya medyo naghahanda na rin ako. Ano po bang mas ok, mag DIY ng itinerary or mag package nalang kami? May tickets na kami nabili nung nag seat sale cebu pac kaya accommodation/tour nalang sana. Gusto lang naman namin mapuntahan is disneyland tapos puro shopping na, hehe.

Ito po mga pinagpipilian ko para sa 3D/2N stay namin:

- Golden Crown
- Yui Fai
- HK Taisan

Pinaka mura sa GC based on their website. Sa Taisan, karamihan ng blogs na nabasa ko puro dyan nag stay yung travelers. Kaso parang 3 years ago pa sila nagpunta, I wonder kung ok pa rin kaya mag stay dyan. Filipina rin daw yung receptionist sa Burlington branch nila kaya mukang ok dito.

Noob question naman, pasensya na. Sa dami ng blogs na nabasa ko, nalito na ako.. Iba pa po ba yung octopus card sa unlimited MTR card?

[prettybarbie]

^ Mas okay mag DIY para hawak nyo ang oras nyo, madali lang naman eh. Una pag aralan mo muna yung train system dito. Download ka ng Hong kong MTR app sa kahit anong smartphone or tablet. Makikita mo don kung pano magpunta sa mga lugar na gusto mo pasyalan pati na din kung magkano ang fare at kung gano kahaba ang byahe.... Pag aralan mo din kung ano yung mga exit sa station.... Bus going to and from Airport to Hotel.... Yun lang.

Kung sa Tsim Sha Tsui ka mag stay di naman problema makakainan don kasi marami mga shop/resto don specially around don sa mga guesthouse na na-mention mo.

Octopus din yung unlimited ride... pero yung unlimited na yon may specific days lang sya kung ilang araw mo pede gamitin. Pero same use ng ordinary octopus, pede mo gamitin sa 7-11, Fastfood, grocery, tram, bus, airport express....etc.

Yiu fai na kami sis kasi fully booked na sa GC.. tapos nirefer nya kami sa new yiufai kaya lang mas mahal ng HKD100 din pag sa quadruple so naisip namin ng mga pinsan ko baka pareho lang naman ng space and look so we decided to get the yiu fai instead.. yes mabait naman si raymond yung taga sagot ng email nila. Not sure if he's the same person.. hehe we get the quadruple.. how bout the wifi sis malakas naman? Excited nako! Haha
