RE: How to get to Ngong Ping 360 from Tsim Sha Tsui district?
by: HKinsider-don

From Tsim Sha Tsui to Ngong Ping 360:

Get into the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station, take the Tsuen Wan Line trains towards Tsuen Wan and get off at Lai King Station. Interchange trains to the Tung Chung Line heading towards Tung Chung and get off to that last station and take Exit B (38 minutes @ HK$14.1). Walk about 4 minutes to the NP 360 Cable Car terminal and then take the cable car to Ngong Ping for 25 minutes @ HK$115 for round trip ticket (recommended).

Bus option: between Tung Chung Centre Bus terminus and Ngong Ping Bus terminus:
You can opt to take the New Lantau Bus Company (1973) Limited Bus No. 23 or 23S for about 50 minutes bus travel time @ HK$17.20 on weekdays, and HK$27 on Sundays and Public Holidays. Half fare for child below 12 yrs old and senior above 65 yrs old.

Taxi option. It takes about 40 minutes for taxi @ HK$180 for a one-way trip between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping - not recommended

Re: How about getting to Hong Kong Disneyland from Ngong Ping 360, Giant Buddha?
by: HKinsider-don

If you're coming from the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) then we suggest that you take a taxi to Ngong Ping 360 Terminal at Tung Chung (10 minutes @ HK$45) then NP 360 cable car to Ngong Ping (25 minutes @ HK$115 round trip ticket) where you can visit the Giant Buddha, and some other attractions in Lantau Island.

Here's how to get to Disneyland from Ngong Ping. Take the cable car from Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal adjacent to the Tian Tan Buddha Statue to Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal (opposite side). Close to the cable car terminal is the Tung Chung MTR station. Take the MTR trains and get off at Sunny Bay station (next station) then interchange trains to Disneyland Resort line (18 minutes train travel / HK$11.3).

We need help to make the best Hong Kong Itinerary plan.:)
by: Anonymous

We arrive at Hong Kong on June 4 at 9:10 pm and depart on June 6 at 9:40 pm. So technically, we only have two days of trip and we want to make the most out of it.

We plan to go directly from the Hong Kong International Airport to the Victoria Peak, Avenue of Stars and other attractions that are open in the evening. Is that possible?

How do we get to the Victoria Peak the cheapest and fastest way? After that, we are going to check in at our hostel at Tsim Sha Tsui. How do we get there? How long would it take?

On the second day, we plan to go to Hong Kong Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360, and Symphony of Lights. How do we go there from the Hotel to Disneyland to Ngong Ping to Victoria Harbour and back to the hotel? How can we spend our time wisely?

On the 3rd day, we plan to go to Macau. How long will the trip to go there be? What transportation would we take from Tsim Sha Tsui to the ferry? What ferry would we take? How much time is it advisable to stay there?

Then, we'll go back to Hong Kong for some last minute shopping and proceed to the airport about 7:40 pm. What time should we leave Macau for the ferry? What shopping malls can you recommend that is near to the airport? Thank you very much.

We would really appreciate the time schedules you could allot us, directions, and the means of transportation we need to take. Thank you.

Re: We need help to make the best Hong Kong Itinerary plan.
by: HKinsider Don

Day 1: HK airport, Victoria Peak, Avenue of Stars, Symphony of lights, TST hostel (click here for our recommendation).

HK airport --> Victoria Peak Tram route:

Hong Kong airport to Victoria Peak: click here to know the route suggestion.

Peak --> Tsim Sha Tsui route:

Option 1: From the Victoria Peak, take the Peak Tram back to the Peak Tram Lower Terminus at Garden Rd. --> walk to the Central MTR station exit J2, please click here to view route map --> Get into the Central MTR train station and take the Tsuen Wan Line going to Tsuen Wan and get off at Tsim Sha Tsui station (see MTR route map below), 6 minutes @ 7.9

Option 2 - most scenic route: From the Victoria Peak, take the Peak Tram back to the Peak Tram Lower Terminus at Garden Rd. and opposite to it is the Peak Tram Bus Terminus. --> Take the bus no. 15c to Central (Star Ferry) at Man Kwong Street close to Pier 7. Bus travel time is approximately 10 mins @ HK$4.2, half fare for children under the age of 12 & seniors aged 65 or over. --> Walk couple of minutes to the Central Star Ferry Pier and take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui, it is going to be very unforgettable ferry ride for about 9 minutes @ Hk$2.5

It depends on where you stay at TST, it could be only a walking distance from the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Terminal otherwise you can take a short taxi ride to your hostel.

Also, I suggest to take a walk from the TST pier to the adjacent Avenue of Stars and wait for the Symphony of Light show that starts at 7:30 pm before heading to you hostel or, you can check in to your hostel first then come back at the TST promenade.

Day 2: HK Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360

Actually, Disneyland would be a full day event but to maximized your time in HK, I would suggest you stay from 10:00 am until 3:30 pm at Disneyland then you may proceed right away to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car terminal at Tung Chung then take the cable car to Ngong Ping village.

Tsim Sha Tsui (assuming that you're staying somewhere at TST) to Disneyland route: The most efficient way to travel is by taking the MTR trains.

Here's the MTR route map between Tsim Sha Tsui and Disneyland Resort MTR station.

Get into the TST MTR subway station. Take the Tsuen Wan Line trains heading towards Tsuen Wan and get off at Lai King station. Interchange trains to the Tung Chung Line going to Tung Chung and get of at Sunny Bay station. Finally, interchange trains to the Disneyland Resort Line that will bring you straight to Disneyland Resort station. Total train travel time is 38 minutes @ HK$16.6.

Disneyland to Ngong Ping 360 (Cable Car Terminal at Tung Chung) route: The most efficient way to travel is by taking the MTR trains.

Here's the MTR route map between Disneyland Resort and Tung Chung MTR station.

Get into the Disneyland Resort MTR station and take the train to Sunny Bay station. Interchange trains to the Tung Chung Line going to Tung Chung station and get off to that station then take Exit B. Train travel time is 16 minutes @ HK$11.6

Upon exit at Tung Chung MTR station, walk about 3 minutes to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car (Tung Chung terminal). Here's a map at Tung Chung area showing markers like MTR exit and Cable car terminal.

Re: We need help to make the best Hong Kong Itinerary plan.
by: HKinsider Don

Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to Ngong Ping village, about 25 minutes of spectacular cable car ride @ HK$80 for single trip and HK$115 for round trip.

You can spend at least two hours at Ngong Ping village attractions then go back to Tung Chung MTR station by taking back the cable car or by taxi that could be about 33 minutes @ HK$60 (approx). Take the MTR trains from Tung Chung station (refer to the TST to Disneyland MTR route map above). Train travel time is 38 minutes @ HK$13.8

Directions from Sa Po Road, Kowloon to Ngong Ping to City Gate Outlets then to Airport.
by: Karen P.

Hi there, will be staying at Regal Oriental, Kowloon.

For our last day in HK, we plan to take the cable car ride (1-way) to ngong ping and then do some shopping at Citygate Outlets.

Our plane departs at 7pm. we need some advice on the best way to maximize our time and the cheaper way to go around. Thanks

Aug 02, 2011

Re: Directions from Sa Po Road, Kowloon to Ngong Ping to City Gate Outlets then to Airport.
by: HKinsider Don

Hello Karen,

To read about detailed information about your hotel location, maps, and getting there instruction, please click here.

Here's my personal itinerary suggestion for your last day in HK to maximized your time (please refer to the hotel map location that you can find in the link above):

Check out from the hotel --> take a taxi to Prince Edward MTR station, 9 minutes @ HK$25 --> take MTR trains to Tung Chung station (Tsuen Wan Line train going to Tsuen Wan, get off at Lai King station and then interchange trains to the Tung Chung Line going to Tung Chung, 41 minutes @ HK$14.1) --> leave your luggage at Citygate Outlets in Tung Chung --> walk to the nearby Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Terminal and buy a round trip ticket @ HK$115 for 25 minutes cable car stunning ride (also, you may purchase package tickets like the "Journey of Enlightenment Package" which includes a round trip Ngong Ping Cable Car journey PLUS entry to ?Walking with Buddha? and ?Monkey's Tale Theatre? @ HK$176) --> explore Ngong Ping and the rest of Lantau island tourist attractions --> take the cable car at Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Terminal back to Tung Chung Terminal --> Last minute shopping at Citygate Outlets --> get your things and take a taxi to the airport, 10 minutes @ HK$40.

* Ngong Ping 360 services will close at 6:00pm so you are suggested to depart Tung Chung at least before 3:00pm to allow more time to experience the attractions.

* The Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car was already back in operation since end July, 2011 from maintenance scheduled downtime.

* Ngong Ping is a remote part of Lantau Island so that the most direct and efficient way to get there is thru the cable car. Taking a taxi would cost you around HK$200 for about 40 minutes drive, and taking a bus would kill your time as it takes about an hour bus trip to get there which is not recommended in your situation.

The International Commerce Centre (ICC Tower) Sky100 is situated in West Kowloon, Hong Kong accessible thru Kowloon MTR station Exit D2.

It is only less than 10 minutes taxi from Tsim Sha Tsui area @ HK$25 or you can opt to take this MTR route for much cheaper...

From Tsim Sha Tsui, get into the TST MTR subway station and take the Tsuen Wan Line train to Central station. Walk to the adjacent Hong Kong station and take the Tung Chung Line train to Kowloon station (19 minutes @ HK$3.8) then take Exit D2. Then take a short walk to the ICC building.

Day 5: Famous shopping malls in Hong Kong --> street markets

Aug 18, 2011

Re: Where Is The Best Place To Stay?
by: HKinsider Don

@ Roy

To where you stay will depend in your preference as follows;

Most hostels in Hong Kong are pretty much similar in terms of size and room services only, the most important factor is the location.

Mirador Mansion and Chungking Mansions buildings are very close to each other but Chungking is much closer to the TST Star Ferry Pier. Both locations are in proximity to the TST MTR station.

Meanwhile, the Sincere House (refer to above location map) is also very conveniently located at the heart of Mong Kok, close to the Mong Kok MTR station and shopping tourist attractions like the Ladies' Market and short walking distance to Temple street night market.

Aug 18, 2011

Re: International Commerce Centre - avenue of the Stars - Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon
by: HKinsider Don

The most efficient way from ICC to Avenue of Stars is to take a taxi, less than 10 minutes drive @ HK$25. It saves you some long walks if taking the MTR trains.

Then from Avenue of stars, get into the TST MTR station and take the Tsuen WAn line to Mong Kok station Exit E2 then walk about 4 minutes to the Ladies' Market at Tung Choi st.

Hello Syazanna,

Here's my additional shopping tips when you get to Shenzhen.

Once you exit from China immigration building, the very next building you'll see is the popular Luohu Commercial City a five stories building that sells a wide range of items, including watches, hand bags, clothes, shoes, audio-visual products, souvenirs, curtains, DVDs, etc and a number of restaurants to dine in.

Another popular area which is close to it is the Dongmen or known as "Laojie" (or "Old Street"). It is wider than Luohu Commercial City but has a similar focus on Chinese-made and counterfeit goods. Prices are also much cheaper than Luohu.

Here's how to get to Dongmen from Luohu.
Get into the Metro train subway station --> take the Luo Bao Line (or Red Line) train and get off at "Laojie" station (3rd station from Luohu station), 5 mins @ RMB2.0 and then take exit A.

Shopping tip! Please do bargaining. Example if the prize is RMB100, then start to bargain say at RMB30. One thing for sure, you can get the item below half of the introductory prize.

BTW, change some of your HKD to RMB at any money exchange counters that you'll see on your way to exit the immigration building. It is safer in there. Current exchange rate is 1 HKD (Hong Kong Dollars) = 0.81764 CNY (Chinese Yuan Renminbi).

Just my two cents advise for your safe trip to Shenzhen!
