Salamat kaayu bai @pirehro! Hehehe

karon pa gyud ko nag check sa google maps and ako nalang i grupo grupo ang lakaw kung unsay naa sa duol para d hago sa byahe..


day 1 - upon arrival sa airport.. adto ngong ping 360.. until noon lang then byahe para disneyland until mag parade/ fireworks cla.. then after ani go to tsim sha tsui para ngita hostel dayun gawas napod para mu try sa ila market

day 2 - macau ghapon then nig ka gabie adto mong kok/ causeway bay para laag2x ug window shop.. kung naa maganahan.. then palit pero not much kay 20 kilos ra man pod baggage padung uli

day 3 - i drop na na nako ang plano nga WOTW kay ako ra isa nya wa na time magprocess pod visa.. i adto ko nlng siguro na ug nanlian garden... then to ocean park (ganahan ta ko sa rides like abyss ug flash pero ako ra isa so sa sunod nlng kanang naay kuyog para lingaw.. hehe) nya inig ka gabie kay the peak or avenue of the stars... asa mas nindut aning avenue of the stars or the peak?

sunod nako plan is to check for the transportation pero i guess i'll have to go with their MTR using the octopus card.. ako nlng pangitaon unsay numero sakyan ug mga schedules aning mga lugara

Packed kaayo imung IT murag kapoyon ka ana. Hong Kong is a walking city, so if you want to squeeze all these places into a brief trip, dalag comfortable na sapatos ug Alaxan hehe.

Anyway, some tips based on experience.

Day 1

Buy a SIM card for your phone so you can stay online and use Google Maps. You can buy a one2free SIM for 88 HKD, good for 7 days na unlimited mobile data. Go to the arrivals hall (sakay sa lift pasaka ug 1 floor) and look for the 1010 booth.

Palit daan ug tickets sa Disneyland ug NP360 sa China Travel Services, naa ni sa airport gihapon. There's a section duol sa customer service area na puro travel agencies. Palit ka daan diri para dili naka mulinya para tickets didto.

Palit nalang sad ug Octopus Card sa customer service kay mag bus man ka padung NP360.

Take the S1 bus to the terminus sa CityGate (Yes you can use your Octopus Card for the buses). If daghan kag dala na bag, leave them at CityGate lockers sa basement 2. It's $10 for a small locker, $20 for a big one for 2 hours. Pwede ra ka mubayad with an Octopus card.

Be sure to leave NP360 before 12:00PM if you want to enjoy Disneyland, and be sure to account for the travel time sa cable car. You can try all the rides sa DL even if udto naka magsugod kay weekday man, so the lines aren't so bad.

I doubt naa pa kay energy mag laag2x inig gabie ani, so call it an early night nalang.

Day 2

Unless hilig ka ug casinos and malling, I suggest you skip going to the Venetian, Wynn, Grand Lisboa etc. and instead go straight to Senado Square. Nagkalata ang street food and Koi Kei bakeries diri, so you won't have a problem with food. When we were here, nag sale ang Bossini, Giordano, Hang Ten etc. sa ilang winter collection, so pwede sad ka mag shopping diri.

Day 3

Opening sa Ocean Park is 10:30 AM I think. I suggest you drop Nan-Lian kay Saturday ni, so expect a huge crowd in Ocean Park. Ayaw kahadlok suway sa rides, alkanse kas mga insik na bagag nawng, mu cut pa sa line haha. If from TST ka, just go to Admiralty, take the 629 bus to OP.

5 to 6 pm is a good time to go to the Peak. Don't waste your time at Madame Tussauds, mahal pa, touristy pa kaayo. Again, since this is a Saturday, expect long lines sa Peak Tram.

Kaw na bahala where to go next. I would go straight to Mong Kok nalang to maximize my time. Try not to do too many things at once kay dili ka malingaw ana.

Salamat kaayu sa mga advice @pirehro, @b00rdz, @jpcrown, and @bonjour

busy pa ko sa work so wala pa gyud kay ko ka basa2x pero gabie i was checking on these 2 sites:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ute_Map_en.svg

MTR

nindut siya kay naa gyud travel time apil ug pila gasto, ug asa pod ka hunong ug mubalhin ug laing MTR


bitaw, hectic gyud siya ug mura kog hangakon ani nga sked.. samut na nga wa pa nako gilabot kung unsa ko kadugay maka gawas sa airport nig arrival...

i'm wondering if ako i swap ang ako day 1 activities with day 3? will it really make a difference? i'm good with dropping the "nanlian garden" activity nuon.. sakto sad ang ocean park - the peak - nya avenue of the stars nga combo... if ever wala ray kalainan ang swap, then i guess ill just drop the ngong ping 360 nlng.. pero nindut baya siya pa picture2x.. lol..

Depende lang jud asa imong gusto pero if papilion ko ug 360 ug Disneyland adto ko Ngong Ping suko mangali akong sis last time mi adto Hongkong why daw nibalik ko ngongping pero grabeh eg pauli f cable car imong sakyan mga hapit mi 2 hrs naglinya para kauli mi......ang bus gud lau manpud so weight lang ka sa imong gusto pero kafoy jud noon ng daghan adtoon sa isa ka adlaw hehehe last trip namo 10 days mi didto one view ra per day amo makaya lol then we skip na mga theme parks ako rajud ganahan balikan if makavisit ko HK balik kay kana rajud The Peak ug Ngong Ping I find it so relaxing... but if nahan jud ka mga rides sa Disneyland or Ocean Park ka...

eprioritize lang unsa jud pinakagusto nimo adtoon then go from there....anyway makabalik raman pud ka HK anytime so no need to stress yourself kay dli na nya nmo ma enjoy imong trip....

Thanks bai @Vundaboi!

Mura'g kani akong day 1 dili gyud ni siya nindut kay ako gi huna huna ba..

1. Touchdown sa airport is 8:55 AM
2. Pag exit pa sa airport - immigration.. - kuha sa bag.. let's say 1 hour minimum (so 9:55 AM kintahay)
3. Travel time from airport to NP360 (let's just say 40 minutes)
4. Mag line pa noh? for cable car?? so kana diha nga part wala ko kibaw pila na ka minuto unya pag byahe pa para sa taas and back..

Kana palang 1, 2, and 3 kay 10:40 AM na wala pa ka nag suroy2x ngadto sa NP360.. wa pa say labot kaon... paksit na ko ana if ever i have to leave the place before noon.. so i might just pass on mr. buddha nalang...

mao'y nakanindut sa DIY kay kung unsay di kaya.. pwede ra ta mag buot ug drop.. sa sunod nalang balik ang uban...

ang dates nga naa man gud sa cebu pac nga naabtan nako sa ilang 75% off pag apr 2 was just those dates... last seats pa gyud na ang ako nakuha..

sa mga rides.. makuyawan ko if mu andar akong hubak man gud nya walay makatabang kay lay kuyog.. pero daku unta kaayu achievement if maka sakay sa abyss.. hehe.. ug kanang flash..

2. An hour spent in the airport is a good estimate, though mag depend jud ni siya on how many people there are at the immigration counters, and how long you wait for your luggage (ako pa nimu pag carry on nalang para diretso naka). You also have to buy your Octopus card and tickets for your Day 1's attractions.

3. Travel time from the airport to the Ngong Ping cable car terminal is about 10 minutes ra.

4. If you bought tickets for the cable car sa airport, instead of buying tickets pa jud onsite, diretso naka linya para musakay. This can still take a while, even on a weekday. Around half an hour ang travel time sa cable car per way.

Your day 1 is doable, since both DL and NP360 are in one island ra. Pero basin dili ka malingaw kay pirme ka nagdali.
