5-Days Trip in HK

Hi, we will be in Hong Kong this coming Aug 14 (11:30 am) to Aug 18 (9:00 pm).

Can you please help us on our itinerary for our 5-day trip? (If possible, can you please recommend us some shopping hot spot and also famous local food as well^^). It would be a great help for us as this will be our first time in HK.

We plan to visit Macau on the first day trip and spend a night there. But haven’t decide where to stay. In HK we will be staying at Yau Ma Tei area. We really hope that during this trip we could have enough time to explore the nightlife, island and tourist attractions in HK.

A BIG thanks in advance! Hope to hear from you soon! (:

Day 3: Ocean Park, Shopping

Macau main (from Macau Ferry Pier Terminal), go straight to the 1) Macau Tower, then take 10mins taxi to 2) Ah-Ma Temple. From the temple, take bus about 15mins to the 3) Senado Square, then it is a pedestrian precinct up to 4) Ruins of St Paul?s Church. Take the chance to get in into the popular 5) Macau Casinos, like Lisboa casino.

Optional (depends on time available):
You can also go to Coloane Macau, one of the two main islands of Macau, located directly south of Macau's other main island, Taipa.
1) St Francis Xavier Chapel
2) Coloane village
3) Dog race track

Note: Most if not all the Macau tourist attractions you will find boards with the appropriate buses listed. Buses going to and from Macau peninsula - Coloane were bus 15, 21A, 25, 26 or 26A.

Going to Shenzhen requires a Chinese Visa, you may need to prepare it before your trip.

For Hong Kong island, we suggest Lamma island.

Enjoy your Hong Kong - Macau trip.

5-Days Trip in HK
by: Julia

Hi, thanks for the information. We are also planning to visit in Macau on Aug 14. Your recommendations and ideas are a great help for us. Is there any place where we can stay overnight in Macau at very affordable price? Thank you so much? How long does it takes to travel from HK airport to Macau?

For a cheaper accommodation when staying in Macau, we recommend you take an apartment. To give you an idea how much it cost, you can view some Macau apartment listing in here.

You can get a ferry to Macau adjacent to the Hong Kong International Airport - the "SkyPier Ferry" (HKIA). The estimated journey time is only about 50 minutes. Or here's other gateways in getting to Macau from other part of Hong Kong.

@ Cherrie,

To travel by your own in Hong Kong should be fine.

Hong Kong is not that complicated place as most people think specially if first timer in HK. The only most important thing to consider in your HK trip is that you know how to get there before you go then I'm sure you'll have a pleasant and enjoyable Hong Kong journey!

A good place to stay while in HK is in Tsim Sha Tsui area.

Here's some good day to day itinerary to maximize your time in HK:

* Ocean Park (morning til 4:00pm) ==> the Peak (til 7:00pm) ==> TST promenade for Avenue of Stars and watch the Symphony of Lights show at 8:00pm ==> street night market shopping.

* HK Disneyland for whole day (stay until 7:30pm to watch the fireworks show) ==> Causeway Bay popular shopping malls and dining.

* Ngong Ping 360 (morning til 2:00pm) ==> Citygate outlets shopping and dining ==> DHL HK Balloon or Sky100 or both.

* Museums (morning) ==> Repulse bay ==> Stanley market ==> Lan Kwai Fong
