I had the most comfortable shoes with me. Pero parang ayaw ko ng suotin dahil maaalala ko lang yung sakit ng paa ko.    But we enjoyed Hong Kong.  I just had some personal issues  while we were there but over all we had fun. Plus ang lamig!!! Hong Kong also means walking. Buti na lang talaga malamig. 

Day 1: Arrival to HKIA. Train ride going to Arrival Gate. Ang taray lang ng airport nila. We had dinner also at the airport. We bought octopus card for the 3 of us at the costumer service area near McDonald's. Gagala sana kami sa gabi after checking in at Golden Crown but we opted to take a rest kasi DL kami the next day.

Day 2: Disneyland! It's a Thursday but madami pa ding tao. We rented a stroller for my 4 year old daughter. Haba ng pila sa mga rides and characters. Hindi din namin nalibot lahat kasi medyo pagod na baby ko kakapicture. Haha. Konti lang din rides na nasakyan namin kasi ang hahaba ng pila. Nakapanood kami ng 3PM Parade, 7PM Light Parade (Don't miss this. Ang ganda.) and fireworks. And yes, mahal food sa DL but natuwa kami kasi may free water na kasama yung kinainan namin. 

Day 3: Nanlian Garden. Very peaceful lang ang ambiance. We had lunch at Hollywood Plaza. Ding Ding Tram ride going to the Peak Terminus. Pero naligaw kami. Hindi kami nakababa ng Ding Ding Tram sa tamang babaan. So we rode a taxi. Ayaw kaming isakay ng taxi driver na hindi marunong mag english. Sabi samen, no English. After 10 attempts, may nagsakay na din samen. Tram Ride going to The Peak. Madame Tussauds. The Peak (nanghihinayang ako kasi hindi ako nakabili ng souvenirs dito. Tinignan ko lang. Hehe.). Sobrang lamig dito. As in! Star Ferry ride. Avenue of Stars. Symphony of Lights.

Day 4: Nagising ng tanghali sa sobrang pagod.  We walked from GC to Prizemart to buy chocolates. Sabi ni Ate Beth (Pinay na nagwowork sa GC na malapit lang sa Village namin. Small world.) malapit lang daw. Juice ko! 30 minutes namin nilakad with our luggage. We had lunch at Citygate Outlets. We rent a locker there before going to Ngong Ping 360. Crystal Cabin cable car. Ngong Ping Village. Ang lamig din dito grabe. Naninigas yung panga namin. Then, HKIA. Amazing Race going to the boarding area. Sasakay pa pala ng airport bus. 

NOTE:
- When doing your itinerary consider mo talaga yung mga kasama mo. Malaking factor yun kung paano magiging successful yung trip nyo.
- Ang saya lang sa Golden Crown, may free water. So since may mga water container kami, refill lang ng refill before kami gumala. Nakatipid talaga kami kasi hindi kami bumibili ng water outside. Sa GC, maliit yung space but comfortable. Isang tumbling lang MTR na. Dito kami bumili lahat ng tickets. Nagpareseve kami online then pick-up and full payment upon checking in. 
- Make sure you buy all your tickets in advance para hindi sayang sa oras sa pagbili pa lang ng mga tickets.

Ang haba na. Pasensya na.

[SOFIEMAE]

^standard talaga ng HK ang maliliit na rooms... Try mo sis mag apartment nalang via airbnb maganda mga rooms medyo malalaki...

thanks  mga sis sa DL suggestions 😃

sa OP naman tayo hahaha ano dapat namin sis una puntahan mag cable car, panda, ride na? Tapos para ba siyang DL need tapusin gang closing? TIA

[Heatherette]

^^Check mo AirBNB. Ganun ginawa namin nung may kasama kaming kids. Di kasi talaga kakasya sa hostels. So far, comfortable kami sa mga apartments na napili namin.

^Nasa ibaba yung panda, Grand Aquarium, etc... check OP map sa website nila para may idea ka. Then after niyo malibot yung nasa baba, mag-cable car na kayo pataas. Honestly, kung mahilig ka sa mga extreme rides sulit yung OP. Pero kami di na namin inantay mag-sara, umuwi na kami mga 4pm. May mga kids kasi kaming kasama so mahirap mag-rides, puro tingin tingin lang kami.

whitewith from tst to admiralty, tst-central (interchange) lipat train sa taas then 1 station pa to admiralty

[smoothie]

We were in HK from Feb 20-24. If you are with your kids dapat at least 1 week. Nabitin kami. Anyway, Punta kayo sa Trick Eye Museum sa The Peak. Super Enjoy kami

^ hi sis! did you reserve the DL tickets online sa GC? pati ba yung tickets nyo sa The Peak and NP360 sa GC nyo nakuha?

I saw their website, no need for deposit naman right? tia! 

[minaco_aino]

^ Yes sis. DL, The Peak (3in1), NP360 round trip (Crystal Cabin). No need for deposit. Upon check-in, we pick it up then paid in full. 

[Skittle]

Amazing Race going to the boarding area. Sasakay pa pala ng airport bus. 

LOL! Sis, ganito rin nangyari samin. Naglalaro pa kami ng Battleship dun sa (bago sumakay ng bus). Lingon lingon ako sa screen to check , nagtataka ako bakit hindi pa boarding. Paglingon ko ulit: FINAL CALL. Takbuhan kami tapos na-realize namin, hindi pa pala kasi yun yung gate namin. Haha. This also happened to my sister before daw. Kakatawa lang, pero nakaka-stress siya. Kami yung last na sumakay sa plane.

[yhannylace]

Mga sis, question lang. Can we buy The Peak Tram Sky Pass (Peak Tram + Sky Terrace) at GC? Would you happen to know how much it will cost? Wala kasi sa website nila. Also, are they selling RT macau ferry ticket?


Many Thanks

[whitewitch]

whitewith from tst to admiralty, tst-central (interchange) lipat train sa taas then 1 station pa to admiralty

so 1st stop from tst is central tapes baba ako, then akyat sa taas ? which platform ako magaabang papuntang admiralty? thanks prettybarbie

[whitewitch]

^^^Add mo na rin yung Stitch Encounter.

^Yes, nasa itaas si Platform 3. Akyat ka pa to transfer.

thanks heatherette

[prettybarbie]

sorry sis whitewitch na-confuse ako. Hindi ka na pala lilipat ng train. Diretso Admiralty ka na pala. Pagdating mo ng admiralty hanapin mo lang yung exit gate. Isang station lang ang TST to Admiralty.

Our trip is next week na (mar 4-8) and hubby just texted me. Sabi raw ng isang manager niya, rampant daw ang "winter flu" in HK with about 200 death cases na. How serious is this? May public warning issued na ba? Do we need to get a flu shot? Were travelling with our 2 boys (2yo and 11mos) who's currently recovering pa Lang from URTI

To our sisses who have just been to HK, how was it? I hope wala naman na-infect sa inyo...
