Re: 3 days in HK 1 day in Macau. How to maximize my 1st time travel?
by: HKinsider Don

It seems that your arrival time in HK is a little bit tight. Let's say that after checking in with your hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, you'll be free at around 11:00pm. You can still explore nearby for some bars and restaurants also, you can go at TST promenade as most tourist will go there at late nights. Nothing to worry about, Hong Kong is a very safe place to travel or roam around at night.

Travel route in getting to TST from HK airport.

On Sept 26, If you choose to see the Disneyland fireworks that will starts at 8:00pm then you don't have time to watch the Symphony of Lights that will also start at 8:00pm considering a 40 minutes travel time between those two places of HK attractions.

I would suggest this itinerary: Ngong Ping attractions at Lantau Island in the morning til noon --> NP 360 Car ride to Tung Chung --> HK Disneyland and stay until 8pm to see the "Disney in the Stars" fireworks --> back to hotel at TST.

Here's the most scenic and efficient route in getting to Ngong Ping from TST. Take the Star Ferry from TST to Central (Pier No. 7), 8 minutes @ HK#2.5. Walk to the adjacent Pier No.5, and take the Ferry from Central to Mui Wo, 50 minutes @ HK$14.5 (Mon - Sat), HK$21.4 (Sun and Holidays).

Upon arrival at Mui Wo, you'll find the Mui Wo Bus Terminus nearby. Take the bus NLB 2 for a 45 minutes road trip to Ngong Ping Bus Terminus @ HK$17.2

Here's the location map for Mui Wo Ferry Terminal and the Mui Wo Bus Terminus.

View Mui Wo Ferry Pier in a larger map

Take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car at Ngong Ping terminal to Tung Chung then a short walk to the Tung Chung MTR trains to HK Disneyland. Travel guide here from TST to NP 360, follow in reverse order.

On Sept 27. I would recommend this itinerary - Ocean Park at 9:30am to 4:30pm --> The Peak until 7:00pm --> Avenue of Stars and Symphony of Lights.

To see instructions including MTR route map in getting to Ocean Park from Tsim sha Tsui area and then to the Victoria Peak.

But just in case you stick to your original plan which is Ocean Park after hotel check out then HK airport. There are luggage lockers at Ocean Park that are available for rentals that is good for a day visit duration. The luggage rental details as follows;

* BIG lockers: price = HK$95 / size = 23.6" X 18" X 37.4"
* Small lockers: price = HK$70 / size = 17.7" X 15" X 25.5"

On Sept 28 (last day): Hong Kong --> Macau (whole day) --> HK Airport.

All info in getting to Macau for a day trip here.

Please refer to the following articles for more information about the ferry route between Macau and HK airport;

* Ferry from Macau to Hongkong Airport?

2 days in HK, 1 day in Macau. Itinerary, MTR and bus rides suggestion
by: Winx

Hi,

My 2 friends and I are visiting HK and Macau just for 3 days full days. We will be arriving at HK at 9 PM Friday (we'll be staying in Petersen St., Causeway Bay) and leave on Monday night 9 PM. We are hoping to maximize the time we have by knowing which places to go and how to get there.

I hope somebody can answer my questions and give some helpful tips on the mode of transportation and our planned itinerary :

DAY 1: MACAU

Q:Is it a good decision to do this on the first day? How will we get to the ferry terminal from Causeway Bay?

Places we want to visit: Venetian, St. Paul's Ruins, Senado Square, Monte Fort, Sand's Casino, Fisherman Warf.

Q: Any suggestion on the order of the places to go to save time? Also, is still doable to go to the Ladies Night Market after? How do we get there from Macau;s ferry terminal.

DAY 2: OCEAN PARK, PEAK, MADAM TUSSAUDS

I hope somebody can give me detailed directions on how to go to those places from Causeway Bay and back. :)

DAY3: Giant Buddha, Disneyland.

How to get there? Does Disneyland have a locker for our baggages? how much would it cost us? From Disneyland to Airport, what mode of transpo can we use?

Lastly, I've read this Airport Express Travel pass in MTR website for tourists, is it worth it considering our itinerary?

Would appreciate any response to my questions. Thanks in advance. :)

First time to HK
by: Anonymous

Hi, we plan to buy an octopus card for our travel on April 13-17. What is the best way going to Cosmo Hotel Mong Kok considering that we have 4 kids with us and we are 10 adults.

We are on a tight budget that's why we consider buying octopus cards for us, although doubtful with the luggages that we have. Please enlighten us. One more thing, most of what I have read in the column would only be going to Ocean Park, how about when we want to go to Victoria harbour/peak/Tussauds after ocean park?

What is the best way/direction for us to take? Thanks much.

Apr 08, 2012

Re: First time to HK
by: HKinsider Don

Ok, considering you're traveling in tight budget and you're 14 in a group. First thing you consider is by taking bus if it is available like from HK airport to the hotel. Second, consider a taxi (3 cabs in your group as taxi can accommodate up to 5 persons only).

For the octopus card, yes, I highly recommend that you purchase each of you upon arrival at HKIA. It is essential when touring around the city. Don't worry, you can ask for a refund of the remaining stored value of your octopus card before your departure. Take note that there are also "Child" octopus card for children blow 12 yrs old for half fare.

The Cosmo Hotel Mongkok (pls follow link to read hotel more info and view location map) is a 4-star hotel located at 88 Tai Kok Tsui Road Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Here's the most efficient travel route in getting to the Cosmo Hotel Mongkok from HK airport, by bus + hotel free shuttle bus (at Langham Place Shopping Mall bus stop).

--> Take the Bus A21 from Airport Ground Transportation Centre (bus stop no.1) and get off at bus stop no.6 located at 688 Nathan Road outside Argyle Centre, Mong Kok. Bus travel time is about an hour @ HK$33.

--> Take about 3 minutes walk from the bus stop to the Langham Place mall where you can find the hotel shuttle bus stop. Pls refer to the map below for the walking route map.

--> take the free shuttle bus to the hotel.

Re: First time to HK

Here's the maximized itinerary for a day in Ocean Park, the Peak and Victoria harbour for Avenue of Stars and watch the Symphony of Lights. Please follow link to read detailed travel instruction.

4nights/5 days in HK
by: Grace

Hi.

We are arriving in Hongkong on May 24 by 10am and leaving May 28 at 6pm. We are 4 adults with 2 teenagers ages 14 and 11 and will be staying at the TST area.

Can you suggest an itinerary to maximize and enjoy travel for the family? pls give suggestions what transpo to take.

Also, I would like to make a side trip to the Citicorp bldg in Whitfield street in Fortress Hill. What area is this? is it near Ocean park or Disneyland? i just want to maximize my time.

Thank you.

Apr 30, 2012

re: 4nights/5 days in HK
by: hkinsider Don

Hello Grace,

I would suggest you go to this discussion to read about sample itineraries and getting there, it also discussed about being first timers in HK.

Citicorp Centre is located at 18 Whitfield Road, Fortress Hill, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It is about 5 mins walk from MTR Fortress Hill Station Exit A, in front of SOGO Department Store.

It is easy to get to Citicorp if your coming from Ocean Park, once you arrive at Admiralty station (when taking bus 629 from Ocean Park), just take the Island Line trains to Fortress Hill Station (9 mins @ HK$4.6).

Hongkong trip
by: Grace

Thank you for the feedback. We will be arriving in the morning at 10am and we are a family of 6. (4 adults and 2 teenagers ages 14 and 11). Will it be better to take Airport Express? (is there a discount if we are many?)or the Bus? if Bus, where do we go down? Our Hotel is at Hotel Panorama by Rhombus at TST.

1.) How much is fare for taxi for 6 people?

2.) How do we go to Disneyland / Ocean Park using MTR from TST?

Day 1
1.) Arrival in the am

2.) Disneyland up to closing for Fireworks.

3.) Any suggestion where we can go for other places to see? or eat at?

What time do malls close?

Day 2
1.) Ocean Park till around 4pm

2.) The Peak /Madame Tussauds

3.) Victoria Harbour (Ferry ride)

Day 3
1.) Macau (full day)

What are the must see places there?

Day 4
1.) City sightseeing

2.) Museums

3.) Shopping (What are the best malls for clothes/cosmetics/gadgets?

4.)What can you explore in Wan Chai,Mongkok?

Is it better to take taxi from our Hotel to Kowloon Station with 3 luggages or can we just take the MTR?

Where exactly is the Airport Express Kowloon Station? is that in the Elements mall?

Lastly, what weather conditions do you have now (May) so we can bring appropriate attire.

Thanks very much.

May 16, 2012

re: Hongkong trip
by: HKinsider Don

@ Grace,

First, Hotel Panorama by Rhombus is located at 8A Hart Avenue, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Just a minute walk from MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit N1.

Please note that when taking the public transport in HK such as buses and MTR trains (except a taxi), you'll need to pay individually, so that is why it is important that each one of you will hold an octopus card for travel convenience.

There are "CHILD" (for children age 3 - 12) and "SENIOR" (for seniors age above 65) Octopus cards available for them to avail a half fare discount, otherwise, you'll be given an "ADULT" Octopus card.

Taxis in HK are limited to 5 passengers only, I afraid you need two taxi cabs in your group if you intend to travel by taxi. A taxi from HK airport straight to Hotel Panorama by Rhombus is about 38 mins drive @ HK$265 + HK$5 per pc of luggage.

From HKIA, it is very economical to travel by bus to Hotel Panorama, about 70 mins bus trip @ HK$33. Take the Citybus Cityflyer Route A21 from Airport GTC and then get off at 16th bus stop located at 27 Chatham Road South after Mody Road and take a minute walk to the hotel.

Or, you can opt to take the Airport Express from Airport to Kowloon station (21 mins @ HK$90) --> take Airport Express free shuttle bus (route K2) from Kowloon station and get off at East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station --> take a short walk to the hotel.

* From Hotel Panorama to Disneyland by MTR (32 mins @ HK$17): East TST station West Rail Line to Nam Cheong station --> change to Tung Chung Line and get off at Sunny Bay station --> change to Disneyland Resort Line to Disneyland station Exit A --> walk 3 mins to the park entrance.

* From Hotel Panorama to Ocean Park by MTR + bus: From East TST station, take a walk about 10 mins to the adjacent TST station --> take the Tsuen Wan Line train and get off at Admiralty station (5 mins @ HK$8.1) and take Exit B --> bus 629 to Ocean Park (25 mins @ HK$10.6).

May 16, 2012

re: Hongkong trip
by: hKinsider Don

Day 1:
Most of well-known HK Shopping malls close at 10:00pm.

I suggest malls somewhere at Mong Kok area like Langham Place - they're open until 11:00pm, then afterwards you can proceed to the nearby Street Markets.

Day 3:

1.) Macau (full day)

Upon getting at Macau, just get a taxi and proceed to the Senado Square - the main plaza, most of the tourist attraction can be found nearby to that area.

Day 4:
* Wanchai is a good place to hang out where you can easily find a lot of bars and restaurants.

* Mong Kok is the perfect place for shopping.

Day 5:
Final shopping, it is ideal to do it at Elements mall specially if you're taking the Airport Express from Kowloon to HKIA.

The Elements mall Hong Kong is located directly above the Kowloon MTR Station.

Weather here in HK in May is still spring season. It is quite humid and hot so wearing shorts and t-shirts are fine. Here's to read full weather condition in Hong Kong.
