Hong Kong Guide (Thread 38)

^^Thanks for the tips, sis. Will definitely consider switching Avenue of the Stars with Victoria Peak, since madali naman libutin yun and pictures lang talaga. Though we plan to visit din kasi yung Madame Tussauds.

NP na-search ko meron naman daw lockers, so either first or last day talaga yun dahil along the way to/from airport.

Kung saan mag-shop, ako around Mongkok/TST lang pero siyempre baka gusto ng iba kong kasama sa Citygate. But will also consider when to visit NP depending on where they want to shop, but definitely we are reserving Day 2 for Disneyland since nung 2007, we already went there and maliit pa lang siya, took us 2 days (since teens pa kami lahat ng siblings ko, lol).

Thank you!!!

^malapit lang citygate outlet, DL & giant buddha sa airport. though hindi mo rin mapupuntahan lahat yan sis kasi need mo ring bumalik ng airport para mag-check in

Mag 2 nights kami sa Disneyland before going to the Philippines. Then pag alis ng Philippines, may 8hrs lay ove rkami sa Hongkong Was thinking of visiting Giant Buddha + Citygate Outlet or going to The Peak. Alin ang mas manageable?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ NgongPing (Giant Buddha) and Citygate na lang siguro sis. Parang masyado na malayo at baka mabitin kayo if mag-Peak pa kayo..

Mga sis like namin mag HK suggest naman po if san kami mas makamura kung kuha kami tour packages or diy , nagtingin ako tickets sa cebu pac as of now wala pa silang promo fares for april 2015 uuwi kasi si hubby para makapasyal na rin mga kids , may mura kayang airfare by april ? Thanks sa mga sasagot

[Heatherette]

^Mas mura DIY. If bibili ka ng ticket na same month ng alis niyo, in my experience mahal ang prices. Abang abang ka lang sis, baka magka-promo ulit CebuPac.

mga sis na pupunta this week, malamig na ngayon, dala kayo ng makapal na jacket....

Thanks sis pag nagsale ba cebu pac sa HK mga magkano pumapatak ? Nagcheck ako sa nasa 4k sila for april , yun nga dun naisip ko si diy na lang balak namin sa disneyland ipasyal mga bata may mga mura ba na hotel na malapit dun or kahit yung 1 bus papunta dun para di naman masyado malayo , may masuggest ba kayo na maganda pero mura na hotel na accessible sa train , resto or mall.  Thanks again

[Heatherette]

^Depende na kasi ngayon yung sale ng CebuPac. Yung Piso Fare nila dati papatak lang ng 3-3.5k RT pero ngayon mahal na lalo na yung fuel surcharge. Tingin ka rin sa ibang airline sis.

Like kami, pinili namin PAL kesa sa CebuPac na sale kasi nasa P1k lang difference nila ni PAL pero 20kg yung baggage namin + meal.

For hotel, backread ka sis. Maraming suggestions dito usually namin mga hotels, inns, hostels, etc... accessible sa kainan, mall and MTR.

[theEmpress]

Hi prettybarbie, thanks for this, what else can i squeeze in on dec 10? or the it'll take the whole day for the ocean park?

not much for shopping as we have kids tagging along. is ngong ping okay for dec 12?

much thanks!

[kittycat228]

May sale ba during the month of may?

[j-z]

@theEmpress: Is that from a travel agency? Parang masyadong nakakapagod 2nd day niyo... For me you need at least 1 whole day for disneyland and advisable na you go there as early as possible since mahaba pila.

You can go to ocean park on your first day, then you can stroll around the night market in mongkok at night. Or, after ocean park, you can go to the Peak at night to get a nice view of the city.

For your last day, what time ang flight niyo? Pwede kayo mag ngong ping before heading to the airport kung late afternoon or gabi pa flight niyo. THere are lockers available for rent sa citygate outlets near the cablecar station, and meron din sa ngong ping mismo.

@teri_28: Mas mahal ang food sa HK, pero quality is better compared here in the PH. Yung mga cheap restos sa kanila, maganda na ang quality. For chinese fastfoods like Maxims and Cafe De coral, the noodles are usualy around 25-35 hkd and rice meals are around 30-45 hkd. AYan din usually ang price range ng mga cheap eateries in HK. Pero to be sure allot at least 50hkd for food. Expect to shell out more for food if you are going to disneyland. Allot at least 70hkd for food there. For western fastfoods like Mcdo, I noticed na mas mahal ang mcdo branches kapag nasa tourist spots. Halimbawa, sa THe Peak, mas mahal ng around 5hkd ang mga burger meals don. For clothes, branded ba gusto niyo? If you are going to the ladies market, aka divisoria of HK, mga souvenir shirts doon merong 5 shirts for 100hkd.

When is the best month to visit HK? Baka kasi mamaya yung ma book kung date eh tag ulan pala sayang naman at di rin makakalibot

[Heatherette]

^Winter December-February

Diba sa HK walang stamp sa passport? They just give you the little piece of paper stating your entry/exit. Di ko ma explain! Hahaha

Ano ginagawa niyo sa paper na yun? Do you stape it? Or naka ipit lang?

[mommynin8]

^ merong stamp sa passport.  Entry and exit parehong stamped sya.
