Hong Kong Guide (Thread 39)

[fittotravel]

Laking tipid pala talaga ng tickets kapag sa Golden Crown binili. Nag-reserve ako online ng OP ticket for late September. HKD 290 lang VS a regular ticket na HKD 345!  Isang disenteng meal na rin 'yun.

PLANS:

Food trip:
- Jashan (one of the best Indian restaurants in HK offering mostly North Indian cuisine)
- Dimdimsum
- breakfast buffet at Kitchen, W Hotel Hongkong (original plan was to eat at Harbourside in Intercontinental Hongkong but I gravitated more towards W Hotel's open kitchen layout. May bacon din naman! At mas mura pa. )
- Tim Howan
- Starbucks, Duddell Street (Central) - google n'yo to, guys! 
- Sun Kee (pork neck instant noodles with cheese sauce)

Museum trip:
- Hongkong Science Museum
- Hongkong Space Museum
- Hongkong Museum of Medical Sciences

Money-making trip
- piso mo gawin kong isang libo
- mabilis ang exit dito
- Hahaha!
- Macau trip. Beginner's luck, please! 

Theme park
- Ocean Park. Ipaghihiganti ko 'yung mga sis natin dito na naitulak, siningitan, at nainis sa ingay ng mga naencounter nilang nilalang dito. Hahaha! Handa na ako sa brasuhan! LABAN TAYO! Para sa ekonomiya! Pak! Pak! Ganon! 

Tanong ko lang sisses: Saan ba ako bababang terminal sa Macau kapag sa TST area ako nakatira? Sa mga nabasa ko kasi, ang sasakyan ko eh sa Hongkong China Ferry Terminal. Pero 2 'yung ferry terminal ng CoTai in Macau (Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal at Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal). Alin ba ang magandang landingan? 

Medyo confused,

depende sa point of interest mo at balak mong unahin puntahan

Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal - kung plan mo mag  Fisherman's Wharf, Ruins of St. Paul and Senado Square.
Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal - near Venetian, Macau Airport, City of Dreams and Galaxy hotel

usually ata kapag from TST sa Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal ang landing

sis jhandee, ano bang gusto mong puntahan sa HK para maka pag suggest kami ng IT mo at dapat mong unahin puntahan

[bluish_mommy]

^^sis maraming salamat! ganda ah.. sulit, kaso sadly di parehas available sa dates na gusto ko.  I have taken note of the links you sent anyway... maraming salamat sis!

[Heatherette]

^Welcome

Yung 1 min to YMT MTR ay sulit. Maliit lang bathroom pero kaya naman. Literal na 1 min walk to MTR siya plus tabi nung apartment 7-11, tawid ka lang may Watsons, Mcdo, Yoshinoya and other restaurants. We also discovered may coffee shop sa tabi namin, part nung hotel na katabi. Nice din siya!

^^Kami sis di na bumili. Wala naman kami ko-contact sa Phils pag umaalis kami.

Kaya niyo kaya unahin yung DL then the next day sila Nan Lian then next day si Macau? Para sa akin ha ayoko kasi pagdikitin si DL and Macau kasi maglalakad ka ng marami nyan. So maganda meron in between na pahinga or di masyado maraming gagawin.

Hi mga sis, pa join ulit.. I was able to buy Disneyland and Oceanpark E-Tickets thru AsiaTravel last Sunday at the Phil Travelmart Expo in SMX.. Konti lang difference sa price kasi same pa rin ang rate dun at sa web site nila.
Disneyland is HKD 474 and Oceanpark is HKD 320.. But the upside is, I was able to charged it on my Credit Card for 0% 3 months instalment.. sa December pa naman namin gagamitin at least guaranteed na yung tickets namin at hindi kami nabigla sa pagbabayad, pricey naman kasi talaga.. at saka baka tumaas ang price dahil peak season na ang punta namin...

[fittotravel]

@chinablue: Why not go to Ocean Park on Sept. 16? Between Disneyland and Ocean Park, I'd pick Ocean Park any day.

Sa cable car ride pa lang, tingin ko, sulit na 'yung binayad ko. Discounted at HKD 290 (PhP 1,760) if you reserve your ticket online sa Golden Crown Guesthouse. Reservation lang 'yung sa Golden Crown, no need to pay via credit card. Kukunin mo na lang sa kanila pagdating n'yo sa HK. You can leave the park at 5pm tapos derecho na kayo sa the Peak. Tapos pwede kayong mag-Star Ferry pabalik ng Kowloon.

You can also swap your Macau and Disneyland days para hindi naman back-to-back na theme park 'yung trip n'yo. Book your Macau Ferry tickets via CoTai Jet. They have a few ongoing promotions. Kung birthday month mo September, HKD 218 na lang ang roundtrip fare! Eh ang regular one-way ticket nasa HKD 167 na. If you book naman your ticket ONLINE, may free upgrade kayo ng seats. From Cotai Class to Cotai First (HKD 152 roundtrip na savings din 'yun).

Buy the PCCW Tourist sim card at the 7-Eleven Store in the Arrival Hall, sis! 69 HKD (PhP 420) lang ito at may 1.5GB data allowance for use within 5 days! I have a similar subscription plan dito sa Pilipinas at naglalast naman ng 1 month 'yung 1.5GB data plan ko despite my heavy use of Instagram, FB, and Twitter. Maganda rin ito lalo na kapag nawala kayo, madali nang mag-Google maps! 

Have fun in Hongkong! Post a trip report when you come back, ha?

[sweetut]

Sa Sept 15-18 na yung HK trip namin wala pa rin kaming maayos na IT hehe. Ang sure lang is 16 sa Disneyland kami. Sa airport ba pwede bumili ng Octopus card? Pls pa-suggest naman ng IT sa Golden Crown po kami mag stay. Thanks!

[Heatherette]

^Yes, you can buy na sa airport ng Octopus card

[janesjane]

mga sis, magkano travel tax ng children?

[princess lorraine]

^not sure kung 810 parin sis.

[snove_12]

^backread ka lang sis for the reviews but these are the highly recommended affordable/cheap HK accommodations:

-goldencrown
-taisan guesthouse
-cosmic guesthouse (personally stayed here last January and maayos naman stay namin)

sis cosmic guesthouse na ako nagpabook..mga 9pm kc ang arrival namin sa HK, ano ba pwede puntahan sa gabi? tama ba sis bus#21 going sa cosmic? mas ok ba sa online mag purchase ng mga tixs? like sa DL,OP and the peak? same price lang kya if dun na buy?
