Hong Kong Guide (Thread 38)

Hi sis, we live in HK pero parang di ko naman nababalitaan yang 200 death cases na yan. Regarding flu shot, kung mejo paranoid ka you can get flu shot before you leave. Dito kasi parang mandatory na every winter nagbibigay sila ng flu shot sa mga bata and senior citizen. So far wala pa naman ako kilala na "infected" ng winter flu.

Hi sissies. Question about going to victoria peak. When going to ride the peak tram we should suppose to ride bus 15C. But if we opt to skip the peak tram it says to ride bus 15. Sa bus stop ba from central Andun din yung bus 15? I mean nasa Isang area Lang yung stop ng both bus? Thank you in advance

@prettybarbie, thanks sis! Medyo nabawasan ang paranoia lol. But I'll check with pedia on Monday na rin to be safe.

^For traveling, recommended magpa-shots talaga.

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

its here sis  http://www.goldencrownhk.com/img/plan/golden_crown_discounted_tickets.jpg

^ yes sis, saw that link. I was hoping to just buy a discounted RT Peak tram + Sky Terrace (without Madame Tussauds) na ticket.

I'm not sure if GC or CTS is selling it. I plan to buy ahead of time din para di na kami pipila.


Thanks.

^^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.

 ^ sis, pa share po sa apartment na you stayed na malapit sa mtr station..thank you po!

[nikki]

@heatherette - thanks sis.. yeah, will call our pedia on monday.  btw, i saw the ocean park map and nasa baba nga lang mga panda and aquarium.  did u get to see the rides within the area?  may mga pang toddlers ba.. still deciding kasi if worth it ang almost 7k (3 adult pass) na bayad kung para sa 2 boys lang namin yun which is baby pa... and what else we can enjoy there aside from animals and aquarium.

[Heatherette]

@ yhannylace, CTS is selling yung RT Peak Tram + Sky Terrace lang.

@ queenie06, this is where we stayed: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/3871786?checkin=02%2F20%2F2015&checkout=02%2F24%2F2015&guests=6&s=vTMm

Take note: Maliit lang yung bathroom at isa lang pero di naman kami maselan. We were 9 sa group with 3 kids, nagkasya kami hehe sobrang sulit for us kasi literal na less than 1 minute ang Yau Ma Tei MTR tapos sa tabi niya meron 7-Eleven, coffee shops. Yoshinoya and Mcdo sa tapat.

@ nikki, hmmm... mostly kasi ng nasa itaas pang-adults na rides. Sa mga bata meron bump cars pero subject to height check pa. Yan yung nakita ko na pwede pati yung roller coaster na may height check din tapos may mga games sila dun pero magbabayad ka din.

[prettybarbie]

Nikki yes may mga pang toddlers na rides, nasa kabilang mountain kailangan sumakay ng cable car, meron don na parang maliit na ferris wheel na mababa lang talaga, mini version ng Abyss at kung ano ano pang mga mini rides. Meron din inflatable castle.

sis Pampam yung bus 15 nasa central pier 5 yung 15c nasa pier 8

Hi mga sis. Was there during CNY Feb 17-22, hindi masyado matao especially in Mongkok na super super crowded on usual days. May mga shops na closed, restos especially pero marami din naman nag open maaaga nga lang nagsasara.

Hindi maginaw sa HK ngayon, do light layering so you can adjust to your comfort accordingly.

[Leigh24]

Sorry po tamad mag back read. San part ng tst may murang bilihan ng chocolates? Where is the biggest store ng toys are us also in tst? TIA. We are staying in GC pala.

For chocolates:
Prizemart, Jordan MTR exit B2. Landmark is CHI Residences. Pasok ka sa street nun, hanapin mo lang yung store na may signage na red in Chinese character.

for branches in Kowloon:
http://www.prizemart.com/#kowloon

Meron din chocolates sa 360, though prices are slightly higher than Prizemart

[jhoanneaganda]

Opening hours: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.

hi there....newbie here, just want to ask yung bed ng golden crown for example is yung double bed nila,  standard size po ba same ng dito sa atin sa phil, tnx po

Post modified. Please refrain from quoting long posts.

Sis, Renovated - Double (2 single beds) ang kinuha namin. Pinagdikit nila. So pwedeng magkasya dun ang 4 na tao. Kaming 3 maluwag pa. 4 years old yung baby ko. Maliit yung room pero comfortable naman sya. Okay din ang cr. Hiwalay ang shower and toilet. May small window yung room.
