All About Hongkong! Shopping, Hotels, Tourist Spots - Merged Threa

[Exec278]

1. Stay in hotels located at Hong Kong island, not Kowloon. IMO, this side is safer, quieter, and more orderly.

2. If staying for more than 2-3 days and expect to travel a lot, buy an Octopus card and use it as often as possible.

3. When dealing with any shop's sales person, put a straight face and commanding voice. To be honest, they wouldn't mind. What they do mind is if you sound like you don't know what you want and you are just wasting their time.

4. Buying a camera, go to Mongkok and look for Wing Shing Photo supplies. They offer better prices, and they don't sell fakes.

5. Don't get tricked by camera shops found along Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon side), they are vultures.

6. For those who haven't been to any Disneyland park, it is worth visiting HK's version. Just don't expect Mickey speaking English that much.

7. If you have the money and kids, it is worth staying in one of the Disney hotels and stay for 2 nights.

8. Thinking of going to one of those girly bars in Wan Chai? Forget it. Ladies drink price is astronomical especially if you convert to Peso.

 

Will add more later.

ocean park, tsam sha tsui, madame tussads and mongkok shopping should be enough,

thank you sir. since we arrive midnight, are there any budget hotels we can get that allow short stay? (wishful thinking lang)

[bughaw1]

Any recommendations for affordable but nice hotel in hk? Ty

[WarmachineX]

Best choice of hotel for me is along Yaumatei. You can maximize your time at night dahil sa ibaba lang ng hotel yung mga night markets. Sa baba din ng hotel andun na yung mga malulupit na food stalls and street food na famous sa HK.

Paano pag arrive kayo 12AM sa HK Airport. Should we consider getting a hotel still or just rest in the airport til morning (if allowed)??

its allowed to sleep in a first world country airport such as HK, safe na safe ka dyan, its just like waiting for another long wait time connecting flight...

 

tapos pag dating ng umaga, 12pm~2pm pa ang check-in sa kwarto, alis kana sa airport and iwan ang gamit sa hotel at mag libot ka muna, balik ka na lang pag pwede na pumasok sa hotel room

hk disneyland. worth it?

 

may mas bago na legit disneyland sa china sa june 2016

[pissdrunx]

Any streetwear finds here?

[pissdrunx]

Btw, what transpo would you guys suggest if I plan to go around Causeway Bay? It's not ideal that I just walk around as those shops I intend to go to are a few blocks away from each other. Do cab drivers speak english?

[Miss.AKISHA]
