Hong Kong Guide (Thread 39)

^thanks sis, isip ko talaga mabuti kung Octopus or regular ticket na lang baka naman madali lang bumili pag regular ticket baka kase hindi namin magamit mabuti ang Octopus Card then sayang kung hindi namin ma refund =)

[mama squeak!]

I would still go for the Octopus card. Convenient, you don't have to queue to buy tickets when you get to the MTR stations. No hassle groping for change. The fares at their public transpo comes out cheaper than buying single tickets.

You can also use the card to pay for purchases at most retails shops, grocery stores and tourist attractions. Para syang debit card. And at the end of your stay just return the card at the airport arrival area for the refund.

Malapit na Hong Kong namin, pacheck po ng itinerary sisses, thank you!

Day 1:
- 2:40pm arrival at the airport (wala kaming check-in baggage so baka mabilis lang labas namin ng airport), buy octopus card and discounted tickets at CTS (i'm still thinking about this since pupunta din kami TST baka sa GC na lang ako bumili ng tickets. Are they open until late night?)

^^thanks mama squeak!

last question yung baby ko 1 year & 11 mos sa travel namin, alam ko free na sya sa DL & NP360 need ko rin ba sya bilhan ng Octopus Card? or free na rin sya sa MTR? salamat =)

[Heatherette]

^Free na siya sa MTR

[vuzhia]

^yahoo! thanks. eggzoited na talaga kami, ayusin ko na lang mabuti IT namin, mag start na rin ako mag check ng mga winter clothes na naka sale dito pinas, syempre hanap din ako ukay-ukay, kay baby hanapan ko sya sa Uniqlo

nagdadalawang isip na lang ako kung kakayanin na ng Adidas Walking Shoes ko yung weather sa January pang rubber shoes lang kase ang beauty ko nanghihinayang ako bumili ng boots hindi ko naman magagamit dito Pinas malaki pa naman paa ko mahirap ibenta ulit, ahaha! bahala na sana makakita ng naka sale 

[Pretty_aye]

Hi

Safe ba mag stay sa  Tsim Sha Tsui, upon searching yun kasi yung cheaper mga hostel lang ba yun?
Any recommendation which one nabasa ko golden crown at cosmic ditto. which is better?

Thank you

[ataypool]

^^Vuzhia, makapal na medyas na lang with your rubber shoes. You will feel hot anyway when you walk a lot. Scarf, gloves, beanie or hooded jacket will do. Pinsan ko nakabili ng North Face and 7 for all Mankind jackets sa ukay-ukay, dry clean lang, looks good as new.

[rocky]

^^safe ang TST & maganda location. wag ka lang sis sa chungking mansion & mirador. hindi maganda yong baba, daming tambay na indian

thanks, start na ako sumilip silip sa mga UK-UK na yan 

[carolskitot]

is it cheaper to buy tickets online for ocean park and NP360?

[Heatherette]

Honestly, you don't need a coat ng makapal kasi hindi naman ganun kalamig talaga yung winter sa HK. Ang dinala ko nun yung sa Uniqlo na bubble jacket na nalalagay sa maliit na bag then light sweater lang suot ko. Pag nainitan ako nilalagay ko sa maliit na bag yung jacket. Hassle kasi pag coat talaga dala mo tapos biglang nainitan ka.

[vuzhia]

^thanks sis sa info, yan din inaasahan ko huwag naman masyado malamig sa January, husband ko kase sobrang initin kaya tinapat namin ng winter pasyal, hirap kase lakad ng lakad sa initan nakakadag dag talaga ng pagod then may makulit pa kaming toddler, check ko rin yung sa Uniqlo

[smoothie]

Ako lamigin so sulit ang coat for me Yeah, malamig sa Jan

[m_lim]

ano kaya mas maganda hotel sa dalawa?

J plus hotel by Yoo

or

Lanson Place??

[glamorous_aisha]

sisses pareply naman about my iti pleeaseeee! TIA

[rocky]

^baka closed na office ng GC sis pag late na. pwedeng unahin nyo munang bumili sa kanila before kayo magdinner. walking distance lang naman yon sa avenue of stars. late na punta nyo ng the peak, hanggang 10pm lang yon.

day 2
keri lang

day 3
masyadong ngarag, malayo yang nan lian sa ngong ping & disney. pwedeng skip nyo na nan lian. baka wala na kayong energy pagdating sa DL. mas sulit kung whole day

day 4
sarado pa mga store, late sila nagbubukas

[glamorous_aisha]

^sis super thank you!!!

akala ko until midnight yung the peak kasi sa website midnight nakalagay. We're not going to madame tussads naman. sa observatory lang talaga siguro kung hindi kami gutom sana dito na lang dinner. depende sa tiyan namin haha

day 3 yung DL sis hindi naman all out kaya din sandali lang kami. titingnan lang namin difference with tokyo disneyland. so baka dito ko na lang ilagay yung shopping at matulog na lang kami until check out sa day 4

[ohcmon]

^ Sis kung mag NP + DL kayo in one day medyo nakakapagod na yan (at super sakit sa paa lol) kaya baka alanganin na 'yung shopping niyo after DL. Baka lang naman. Sa Macau din kung walking tour kayo maghapon medyo alanganin na rin shopping pagbalik niyo sa HK. Pero kung matibay naman kayo sa lakaran push.

Before your flight pwede siguro kayo mag CityGate until around 1PM, malapit naman na ito sa airport.

[rocky]

^^i see, nakapag-tokyo ka na pala sis so baka di mo na nga ma-appreciate DL sa HK. kung observatory lang keri na, hanggang 11pm pala yong wax ang 10pm
