Need Favour

Hi... I am May, It%26#39;s been long time I dont visit HK, my last trip is 1986 then 2007 (but only stay for a night then leaving for BKK the next day). So I need a favour...

I Am going to Hong Kong this coming 22 March 2009 via Macau. Taking AirAsia to Macau and then ferry to Hong Kong. ETA to Macau is around 8 pm. I will leave for HK the next day, probably about 10am.

(a) How many hours trip with ferry from Macau to HK?

(b) How to go to Peterson St, Causeway Bay from Ferry harbour HK?

We have some list which is we want to visit such as:

1. Lantau Island

2. Madame Tussauds

3. Jumbo Restaurant

4. Ladies Market

5. Tsim Sha Tsui (Avenue of Stars)

Would you like to tell me where should I go first and how to go? (we just have 3days and 3 nights at HK).

And How to get to the airport by airport express train (from Peterson St, Causeway Bay)? and how long it takes from Peterson St to airport ? I need to arrange it well so I wont miss the flight :) and also have enough time to sight seing at HK Airport :)

I am leaving for Singapore at 26 March, 13.30 flight by Singpapore Airlines (which terminal?)

Thanks before

May

Need Favour

a) ferry is one hour, but you have immigration at both ends.

b) If you go to the Macau ferry terminal in Sheung Wan, catch the MTR 4 stops to Causeway Bay.

c) What do you want to do on Lantau? See the Big Buddha? visit Tai O village? Big Buudha takes half a day, as does Tai O. try to avoid weekends and holidays.

Jumbo%26#39;s food isn%26#39;t that good, and it is over priced. Maybe just go for a look.

Try to avoid Md Tussauds and the peak on weekends and holidays.

You can also catch airport bus A11 from causeway bay to the airport. takes one hour. See www.nwstbus.com.hk/routes/routeinfo.aspx鈥?/a>

If you go by airport train, you need to catch the MTR to Central station, then transfer to Hong Kong station, and then catch the airport express to the airport. Total journey time around 45 minutes.

Need Favour

a. The ferry trip takes about one hour.

b. Follow the signs from the pier to MTR Sheung Wan Station, where you can access the Island Line of the MTR. Causeway Bay is just a 4-stop ride. Buy you Octopus card at the Sheung Wan MTR Station%26#39;s Customer Service Center. Octopus is a stored value card that is valid on most transports. Refer to other links in the forum for more details.

c. From Causeway Bay, the free shuttle bus H2 that goes to Hong Kong Station for the Airport Express stops at several hotels. The closest one to Peterson St should be Park Lane Hotel. Alternatively, you can always catch a taxi direct to HK Station for about $40 plus $5 per piece of luggage. Another option is to take Airport Bus A11 ($40 per person) direct to the airport (ask the hotel for where the bus stop is).

You should leave wherever you are staying by 10:30am to get to the airport on time. There isn%26#39;t much worth seeing at the airport so I wouldn%26#39;t bother with spending additional time there.

Sightseeing: Three days are plenty to see the list you mentioned and you could see quite a bit more. Lantau may take up to one day if you decide to see Giant Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, Citygate Outlet Mall, and Tai O village. Ladies Market could be as little as one hour to 1/2 day depending on your shopping habits. Jumbo Restaurant is not recommended. The Peak (with Madame Tussaud%26#39;s) is a 1/2 day max. Avenue of Stars, TST promenade, Symphony of Lights Show (8pm daily) and Star Ferry take mabye 2 hours. For other things to do and see:

Thanks a lot. Will you recommend me some nice and specific food at HK? How about Yung Kee Restaurang which is famous of their roast Duck? (32 - 40 Wellington Street, Central, HK)

Thanks before

ooppss..forgor, my staff said she wants to visit Lantau which has one big tree, where we hang our wishes and they believe it will come true. Do you know where is it?

Thanks again

May

Thanks Sammy, You explain it so clear and it helps a lot...

Yung Kee is famous for roast goose, not roast duck. However, the quality of the roast goose varies. It can be very good one day and relatively unimpressive the next. Either way, the goose is very expensive. The rest of the item on the food menu, including dim sum, are actually above average. Just don%26#39;t expect it to be cheap. Reservations are essential unless you go at off-peak hours.

The wishing tree is not at Lantau but it%26#39;s at Tai Po at New Territories. See link below for a previous discussion:

Thanks a lot :)

Btw, I dont see the page that you were trying to tell me (For other restaurant recommendations, please see the Sticky Dining thread started by Katetam at the top of the forum page.).

One more question, my staff wanna go to clubbing. Can you recommend a good place, safe, nice atmosphere and more elite...and how far is it from Peterson st? Is it safe to go home at late of night by taxi?

Clubbing - how elite do you want? Try Lan Kwai Fong area.

Hong Kong is safe.
