^---daddy-yo

Try to do the Peak on your 1st day.  There's also Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Garden. Then, Hong Kong Park.

After that, head over to Victoria Harbour, or ride the HK Observation Wheel.  Ride a ferry to cross over to Kowloon side in the afternoon.  There's HK Space Museum on this side.  Walk to avenue of the stars or melee around Clock Tower and wait for the Symphony of Lights.  Maraming magandang shops here to do pictures.

Next day, do your Disneyland.

3rd day, for Ngong Ping, Citygate shopping.

4th day for Ocean park.


There's also Ten Thousand Buddha Monastery near the Sha Tin station.  Plus a big IKEA just across.

Kung pupunta sa Ten Thousand Buddha, be prepared to walk and walk and walk.

We have tickets na rin for Xmas holiday.  Baka i-extend na hanggang New Year, para makita yung famous HK New Year lights display.

Hi mga sis!

We were able to book for 2 adults and 1 kid thru Ceb Pac's sale yesterday. One way pa nga lang kasi hindi na promo ang HK- Manila. We will be at HK on January 27 para din icelebrate ang birthday ng baby ko.. Is 3d2n enough na if we have a child travelling with us? We will be skipping Ocean Park.. Nag inquire na din ako sa Golden Crown guesthouse.

Super excited na ako kasi 3 months nalang..

^ Sis kung first flight in, last flight out, pwede na 'yung 3 days. Otherwise, medyo bitin kasi parang one day lang 'yung buong araw hanggang gabi talaga kayo na pwedeng maglibot. For me I would stay 4 days at least para sulit din pamasahe.

[Miss Taken]

@cinammon_swirl Sis for me okay na yung 3D2N kasi ganyan din yung trip namin last March ng bf ko and nasulit naman namin. We also stayed in Golden Crown kasi sa TST area siya kaya very convenient yung location at malapit sa MTR. Walking distance ang Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong Space Museum, Kowloon Park and yung Symphony of Lights.

We really love HK

Feeling ko bumalik ako sa pagka bata nung pagdating namin sa Disneyland lol Hopefully we can visit again next year after Japan.

- Sis 7AM flight namin, ETA sa HK is 9AM pero knowing Cebu Pac we'll never know kung madedelay or not.   Mag aabang pa lang ako ng flight back to Manila and hopefully makakuha kami ng evening flight para sure. Sis just to ask, how much lahat lahat yung nagastos nyo? Kasya na ba ang 25k excluding airfare and hotel?

- Thank you sis. PM ulit ako sayo

[cinammon_swirl]

Based from the posts here, gumawa lang ako ng sample itinerary namin if I will base it on 3d2n. Please comment mga sis kung doable pa po ito or medyo nakakapagod.

Day 1 - 9AM (arrival at HKIA)
              Check in at GC
              3PM onwards - roam around TST, Victoria Harbour, Symphony of Light, HK Science
              Museum
              Night market? (San po yung pinaka recommended aside from Mong Kok?)

Day 2 - 10 AM - Disneyland whole day

Day 3 - AM - Ngong Ping (is this okay for a 4 year old child, mabilis napagod sa paglakad ang anak   
                       ko)
                       CityGate mall
                       Catch our flight back to Manila (na wala pa akong nabobook)

Kaya I am really torn if we will do a 4d3n or just 3d2n. Parang hindi ako masyadong interested sa The Peak lalo na pag may batang kasama, any opinons po?

[jmeangeL]

^--- Bring an umbrella type stroller... yung maliit lang dahil marami talagang lakaran sa HK.

Ang point na ma-enjoy ng bata sa The Peak ay yung pag-sakay sa The Peak Tram, since inclined yun.  Exciting sa bata.  Walang lalakaran sa The Peak, unless you enter Madam Taussad.

Sa Ngong Ping ang matindi ang lakaran plus the almost 300 steps going to the Golden Buddha statue.

- Thank you sis. Hindi na pwede ata kahit sa umbrella-type stroller ang 4 year old ko, nasa 30 kilos na sya May marerentan pa sa HK ng ganun?

[jmeangeL]

Disney and Ocean park sure has strollers for rent inside the facility.  Not sure at Ngong Ping.
Walking is always a healthy option. 

We didn't bring any stroller when the kids were young.  My husband abhors it.  We all walk.

hello mga sis, kaka-backread ko lang sa thread na ito! limited yung time namin sa HK pero gusto ko sana masulit.

ETA namin dun ay 6:20PM. aabot kaya kami sa a symphony of lights?

wala pa kami tutuluyan. right now, kino-consider ko yung golden crown based sa recommendations sa thread na ito. pero baka may suggestions pa kayo.

TIA!

[redsh0es]

^sis dun kami magccheck in sa Tai Wah Boutique Hostel, TST area din magaganda review niya sa agoda, tripadvisor etc. daily ang housekeeping. pinoy rin ang mga staff so sure akong malinis talaga 4 days po kami nasa 7k double room

[ohcmon]

^^ Sis baka hindi na kayo umabot sa Symphony of Lights. 8 PM siya, and TST is about an hour away from the airport pa.

Malamang sa hindi.  Mahaba lagi pila sa immigration.   Tapos, matagal din lumabas ang luggage. 

[crzysxycl]

Hi sisses. Ask ko lang kung may nakapag golden crown na sa inyo na may kasamang baby. Planning to go to HK on March, 1yr 7mos na baby ko that time. Or kung may iba pa kayong marecommend sana. Thank you!

[HMisabelle]

ayy, saklap naman. haha. pero thanks sa inyo, sisses redsh0es, ohcmon and jmeangeL.

will think of other things to do na lang para di sayang yung gabi na dadating kami. baka may recommendations kayo?

will check Tai Wah Boutique Hostel din, sis redshoes.

thanks ulit!

[jmeangeL]

^---TST area pa rin, for bar hopping.
Avenue of the stars.
Clock Tower sa Victoria Harbour.
Ladies night market in MongKok.

[HMisabelle]

^yay! thanks sa help, sis!

[Mlabable]

cinammon_swirl Mas sulit sana sis if 4D3N, kung 3D2N mas maganda if yung departure niyo from Manila ay maaga at late in the evening naman pag paalis na ng HK. Kasi kahit maaga ang dating niyo sa HK minsan ang tagal sa immigration at baggage claim. Bago pa kayo makarating ng hotel pagod na sa byahe lalo na pag may bata kasama ang hirap kasi cranky na.
Inabot din kami ng 80k all in pero 2 kids and 2 adults na yun. Kasama na tickets, accommodation, taxes, Octopus card/load, sim cards, and activities (Disneyland, Ocean Park and Ngong Ping). Di rin ako nagtipid sa food.

I recommend sis na magdala kayo ng stroller. Nagsisi ako at di kami nagdala kasi yung 3-year old son pag pagod e nagpapakarga, so mas napagod ako. May pros and cons lang din, pag may akyatan or stairs need niyo i-fold yung stroller or kung sakay kayo ng MTR at cable car. Pwede naman magrent sa DL ng stroller don?t know hpw much lang. Tiniis namin kargahin yung bunso ko pag pagod. hehe

crzysxycl Kami sis 7 and 3 years old kasama ko bata. Convenient sa amin Golden Crown kasi malapit sa lahat ? MTR, convenience store, drugstore, etc. Kaya lang masikip ang elevator. Hehe

[runbarbierun]

Recently stayed at Urban Pack (booked their family suite via Airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17104601), sobrang nice.

Ganda ng location - isang hakbang lang from TST A1 exit (the big exit, conveniently has the elevator). Katabi niya Kowloon Park, and the building is just right across Golden Crown. Maganda din yung bathroom - maliit yung shower area, but keri na rin.

Ayoko lang ng sheets nila. While probably clean, needs replacing hehe parang dilapidated na siya.
