^Sis, I booked online through their website, super safe and fast yung transaction. After mo mag-fill-out ng form magreply sila dun sa email address na binigay mo if available yung room and how much yung babayaran. Usually yung 1 night lang yung kailangan mo ideposit, You can pay using credit card via paypal (no need paypal account) or bank transfer (HSBC). Pero dapat within 24 hours makabayad ka ng deposit after mo ireserved yung room.

^^Sis pwede mag-ask kung magkano nightly rate and kung pang-ilan pax ang room ninyo. Curious lang ako malaman ang price difference. May nabasa kasi ako sa isang travel group sa fb, around 1800k/night lang daw ang room good for 2 pax na nakuha nila sa GC. Nagwalk-in lang daw sila.

Hello po, ask ko lang if anyone of you here already tried KG Garden Guesthouse in Mirador Mansion? I availed kasi Agoda's promo bale pumapatak lang ng P6,100.00 yung triple room nila for our 3 nights stay. We are 5 in the group 3 adults and 2 kids (ages 7 and 1 y/o).

And also, malapit ang kaya sya sa Golden Crown Guest House? Kasi i plan to buy all the tickets na lang sa GCGH.

Thanks in advance po.

^Sis according sa gmaps mga 1min na lakaran. From KG Garden parang nasa kabilang street lang nila Golden Crown. Ganda ng deal na nakuha ninyo sis. Sana sulit. Pa-feedback sis ng stay ninyo sa hotel.

Kami most likely sa Mong Kok area magstay para shopping na ng paunti-unti after namin mamasyal.

Thanks sa info sis, oo nga ganda ng deal pero sana sulit din yung pag stay namin dun. Although im doing all the research naman na, madami din kasi not so good reviews about KG pero i'm crossing my fingers na lang. hehe. Kelan kayo?

^Oo nga sis di maganda ang feedback sa kanya sa Agoda. Mababa ang ratings niya. Sa March 2018 pa kami pero nagpaplano na kami as early as now kung saan kami magstay and ano pupuntahan. Meron na ako nakita na gusto ko pero magbook ako kapag medyo malapit na kami. Mas mabuti ng maaga magplan kasi sira ang budget at iti kapag hindi na-plano maigi.

I started planning right after I booked our tickets (from recent cebpac piso fare). Medyo desidido na ako sa accomodation namin since maganda ang reviews sa Agoda and Tripadvisor and recommended din ng cousin ko. Re itinerary: simple lang iti ko

Day1 (evening dating namin): Lakad-lakad lang sa night market since sa MongKok namin plan magstay

Day2:
Lakad along Victoria Harbour
Pick up ng tickets sa Golden Crown
Ocean Park
Mong kok for konting shopping

Day3:
Disneyland
Mong kok for konting shopping uli

Day4;
Macau
Mong kok shopping uli if may matra pa kami sa allowance namin

Day5:
Departure

Di na namin pupuntahan yung mga usual places na pinupuntahn ng tourists may kasama kaming 10yr old kid baka di kayanin ang napakaraming lakaran. Isisingit ko sana The Peak and Madam Tussaud pero daming bad reviews sa Trip advisor. Maski yung nagbigay ng average score obvious na hindi sila naging happy sa ibinayad nila.

^---Hong Kong park... malaki ang play ground nila dun.
Matutuwa ang anak mo.

Mas gusto ng mga kids ko ang magpunta sa mga playground sa parks kaysa sa mga tourist area.  Libre na, marami pa sila nakikilala na mga locals.

Every community area in HK has playgrounds of varying sizes.

^Sis yung Hong Kong Park iba pa ba ito sa Kowloon Park?
 
Gusto ko din paexperience Dingding Tram. From Causeway Bay to Central siguro. Ano pa bang pwedeng gawin sa Central maliban sa Peak? Sa mga iti kasi na nakita ko, from Central derecho na sila sa The Peak, di ako interesado sa The Peak. Or may iba pa bang route ang Dingding like kunwari if dadaan ng shopping district or yung may magandang park?

Yes, different from Kowloon park.
Nasa central lang din.

http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/see-do/great-outdoors/city-parks/hong-kong-park.jsp

Tram is just your regular train on the street.  Ito ang lugar na pinupuntahan nya.

https://www.hktramways.com/en/schedules-fares

Ang Tram na paakyat ng The Peak ay specialty lang.  Para lang di ka umaakyat ng pataas on foot or taxi or bus.  Pero makakapunta ka rin sa The Peak kahit hindi thru Tram.

Never did Madam Taussad.  Di ko trip ang mag-selfie.  Sa susunod na lang siguro, para lang ma-experience ng mga bata kung ano ba yung wax statue.

Thanks sis. Aaralin ko route ng Dingding Tram masakyan lang maski short ride for experience.

Pass muna ako sa Madam Tussaud, more than half ang nagsabi sa reviews na its a waste of time and money.

You can ride the Hong Kong Observation Wheel in Central sis (ferris wheel) then tawid to TST via ferry boat. HK experience is not complete without the ferry boat ride :)

Also may I suggest na baliktarin ang Ocean Park and Disneyland nyo. Disneyland can be covered half day only as compared to Ocean Park, mauubos oras nyo bec it's bigger than DL :)

Family ng sister ko nagstay sa GC last May- 2  adults, 1 teenager and 2 kids. I saw their room and pretty decent and clean for HK guest house standards. As for safety concerns, it's safe. I'd be worried if Chungking Mansion building ang guest house. HK is generally safe naman. Yun lang there are few incidents of pickpocket and theft. Bantayan nyo lang gamit nyo when outside.

Oo nga parang gusto ko yung ferris wheel. First experience yan ng son and partner ko if ever.

I'm not sure lang if we can cover DL in half day kasi ang worry ko is yung pila sa mga rides (all year round naman ata kasi matao sa DL). Yung friends ko nag-2 days sila sa DL to cover the shows and rides. 2nd day na din sila nakapagpa-pic kay Mickey kasi inabutan daw sila ng cutoff nung first day. Rides naman gusto ko ma-cover sa DL, medyo maiksi attention span ng son kaya i'm not sure kung magugustuhan niya ang shows. Re Ocean Park yung mga extreme rides ang gusto namin ma-cover ni partner and yung animals (lalo na yung panda and penguin) for my son.

Thanks sis jmeangel, ito ang hinahanap ko since wala kami itinerary to go to the usual tourist spots. 3rd time ko na sa HK while daughter ko na 6 yrs old second time na. We just plan to take it easy.

Day 1 - gabi na dating namin. Late dinner then lights out na.

Day 2
Causeway Bay
Lee Tung Avenue
Dingding tram tour (DIY)

Day 3
Stanley / Repulse Bay - first time namin here. Is it still worth it?
Hong Kong Park
IFC Mall > IFC roofdeck
TST area

Day 4
Mongkok
TST

Day 5
Departure

What other places do you suggest to go to excluding na the usual DL, OP, Peak, Macau, etc. We will be staying at Mira Inn in Mirador Mansion. Any feedback on this hostel? Thanks.

@mysterioza_me

Extreme rides nga sa Ocean Park.  Mahirap i-timing ang mga English shows.  Karamihan ay Mandarin or Cantonese.  We didn't enjoy the shows because of this.  Mas enjoy pa namin yung dito sa Subic na shows.

Maganda yung aquariums, shark tank at penguins.  Kaso super lamig sa place ng penguin, I think you can only manage to stay from 8-10mins. Meron ng winter jacket yun.

The tram is also nice.  Sayang, ayaw ng anak ko sa open cable car rides.  Takot sya sa heights.

Holidays lang kami nakakapunta sa HK, kaya laging mahaba ang pila sa mga places na ito.   ;D ;D

From TST , ride the red line (going to central route) and get off at ADMIRALTY station. Transfer to the yellow green line (South Island Line). Yun na ang papuntang Ocean Park. First stop ang Ocean Park from Admiralty station.
