Hi,

 

Is it a good idea to travel to HK during March?

[knoll1234]

Just got stranded in HKG last week. I got a hotel by the airport Regal Airport Hotel. the normal walk-in price was 145.00USD. I got it for 80.00USD. My reason was, I am a distressed passenger, stranded in HKG. Th lady talked to reservations and gaved me a room, taking pity of me. I was given a free breakfast buffet and bus tickets round trip to downtown. I asked what place, take bus 21a and atop at mong kok. I was so happy, I got the things I wanted, plus...very, very good food.

when you are in hongkong, where do you shop? are there any shopping goldmines aside from the usual tourist destinations? Do you have any tips on haggling with the locals? thanks.

 

I love Hong Kong for shopping! But you have to pick the right time to go - don't shop for clothes there during the winter, you'll see nothing but flannel and fleece. Whenever I'm there, I shop at H&M and Muji for the most part. If I see something really interesting, I might get a piece from Shanghai Tang as well. I usually buy my clothes at big chains like that, so I can't really call them "gold mines", since that implies that they're relatively obscure. As for haggling, you usually don't do that in these types of stores either. All that said, Hong Kong is absolutely my shopping Mecca.

airline tickets are expensive, tough hot weather too ..

[wEbStAr]

Regarding the weather, the best time to go here is around January to March. But like others said, ung line of clothes na makikita mo is mostly pang winter.

 

Try mo July, mainit pero sale season sya.

 

Then just to add, try Fa Yuen street in Mongkok. Mecca for shoe lovers!

[webber]

if you're going to HK to primarily shop for clothes, then the best time IMO to go is during sept. this is the time when retailers are stocking up on winter clothes, so most of their summer clothes are on sale.

 

but even if you go there after winter (april onwards), you'd still be able to buy a lot. a lot of shops there are perenially on sale / have a special promo, so you would always end up buying something.

 

go to mongkok for the cheapest finds. even the retail chains like giordano and bossini have better promos there. but central is also good, as it has a lot of designer boutiques.

 

try out men's night market (tama ba?) for men's accessories. i think it's near TST (please do correct me if i'm wrong).

 

happy shopping!

 

go to causeway bay din pala. i saw an ikea branch there.

Question lang sa mga hongkong regulars.. I realized na pwede akong pa-book in advance via internet, pero pwede bang bumili ng tiket para sa shuttle bus going to my hotel in Kowloon (Imperial Hotel) once I arrived at the airport?
