#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck I Club To Kwa Wan Hotel Review 🇭🇰✨ 4 days, 3 nights for just "$6,000" (all inclusive), no sharing required! If you're looking for a truly great stay in Hong Kong, I have to say that I Club To Kwa Wan Hotel is a great choice! (This chain has many branches, so choose the one that's most convenient for you.) --- 🏨 Why did you choose to stay here? It's right next to the MTR, very easy to get around, and the price was better than expected! And most importantly, there's no deposit required (but there's a 3% tax — Hong Kong only started charging it in January 2025). --- 🛏️ The room was a complete surprise! We got a corner room on the 12th floor. When you open the door, it's... Ice-cold air conditioning. No keycard needed to turn on the lights. Super convenient! The room was bigger than I thought, not stuffy, and no need to squeeze your luggage. The bed was soft, clean, and smelled great. Beautiful view without trying too hard. No carpet! Dust allergies will love it! No cigarette smells or musty odors. All amenities are provided: hair dryer, toothbrush, toothpaste. The only thing missing is bottled water. However, they do have self-serve water dispensers in the second-floor lounge, which is great! --- ☕ 24-hour lounge (awesome!) The second floor offers free: Hot/cold water Tea, coffee Bread Spacious seating, great view 24 hours a day, no holds barred, which is a nice way to save on breakfast! 🤣 --- 👨💼 Excellent service from the staff. Both the counter staff and the housekeeping staff are super nice! We asked a lot of questions, but no one seemed to be upset. I was truly impressed. --- 🚌 Getting from the airport Super easy: Take bus A22 and get off at the Lok Shan Road: Ma Tau Wai Road stop. Cross the road and walk straight to the hotel. It's very close. --- 🍜 The food around the hotel is also great! Nearby are everything: 7-11 Welcome Supermarket Market Good-priced local restaurants And don't miss Sunmoon Dim Sum. Every dish is delicious. The menu is all in Chinese, but the prices are very reasonable. The owner is friendly. Just point at the picture and order! --- ✨ Summary: A real bargain! No pushy words! Great price. Rooms are cleaner than expected. No deposit required. Easy to get to. 24-hour lounge. Friendly staff. Lots of food options nearby. If you're looking for a truly "worth every penny" hotel in Hong Kong, I highly recommend I Club To Kwa Wan Hotel. 👍✨

I went with a friend for 2 nights and 3 days in May 2025. 🇭🇰 This is the cost per person ⬇️ Airfare: Cathay Pacific round-trip, ¥40,000 (Booked through Rakuten) Hotel: Disney's Hollywood Hotel, 2 nights, ¥20,000 (Booked through NEWT) eSIM for 3 days, ¥577 (Booked through Klook) Disney tickets: ¥16,473 (2-day) (Booked through Klook) Early Entry Pass: ¥3,444 (Booked through Klook) Meal voucher (Booked through Klook) Day 1 ¥3,216 (Lunch + Ice Cream) Day 2: ¥5,127 (Lunch + Dinner + Ice Cream) Taxi fare from airport to hotel: ¥3,000 I also bought an annual pass, but I can't remember how much it cost 😇 Total: ¥91,837 Otherwise, souvenirs cost about ¥10,000 💰 Total: ¥100,000 ✈️ For my first overseas Disney trip, I chose Cathay Pacific over low-cost carriers ✈️! We had in-flight meals, we could watch videos on the plane, and we arrived in no time! 😌🇭🇰 It was incredibly hot and humid in May, so a parasol and sunscreen were a must... 🥵☀️ I bought an annual pass, so next time I'd like to go during cooler months 😂 I only ate in-park meals, but the portions were so generous I was completely full! 😇 I'd heard prices were high, so I brought some mizuocha (tea and instant noodles) just in case, but I'm glad I brought a drink too. 🥤 I didn't eat the instant noodles 😂 I used Uber for the taxi from the airport to the hotel! I had planned to take Uber back to the hotel, but I spotted a taxi with a credit card sticker, so I asked the hotel staff and they said they accepted credit cards, so I took that instead. 🚖 Taxis in Hong Kong generally only accept cash, but some taxis apparently accept credit cards. 🚕 So this time, I only paid by credit card. 💰 I didn't exchange any money. 👍 You can get by with just your broken English, so I recommend it even for those who aren't used to traveling abroad. 🙌 I don't think there was a deposit at the Disney's Hollywood Hotel where I stayed. 🙃 #HongKong #HongKongDisney #HongKongDisneylandHotel #HongKongDisneyInformation #DisneyHollywoodHotel

♦️Heartfelt Advice 1. There are four security check lanes at the entrance. It is recommended to choose the two middle lanes, especially the right lane, which is faster. However, do not bring these items in your backpack: reflectors, tripods, sunshades, small stools, self-heating pots, alcoholic beverages, pungent foods, sunscreen sprays, and pressure cans. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 2. The park usually opens at 10:00 AM, but here’s a tip: enter at 11:00 AM. At this time, there is no need to queue at security or ticket gates, making entry super smooth! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 3. For friends coming from out of town, if time allows, it is recommended to spend two days! On the first day, plan for half a day to take photos, watch fireworks, and enjoy 1-3 popular attractions; on the second day, focus on rides and shows. If budget is limited, consider staying at hotels near Tsing Yi Station or Tsuen Wan Station, which are affordable and conveniently located! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 4. If you are among the first batch entering the park, don’t hesitate to go straight to Frozen Ever After and then to Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars. If you enter more than ten minutes after ticket scanning, head directly to Tomorrowland and save Frozen Ever After for the parade or light show time! ♦️Heartfelt Advice 5. Popular attractions have single rider lines. If you are alone or don’t mind splitting up with friends, use the single rider line to save time (Toy Soldier Parachute Drop, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain). ♦️Heartfelt Advice 6. Frozen area: Most kids rush here right at opening. Take the boat tour to Arendelle and the Frozen world with stunning scenery. There is a shortcut that takes about 7 minutes: Main Street, U.S.A. → through the castle → around the left side of the castle → past the carousel on the right → straight ahead to reach. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 7. Recommended photo spots: Dream Garden behind the castle (less crowded, vibrant colors, and you can still capture the castle), Main Street, U.S.A. shop windows (each window is great for photos!!), Frozen Plaza fountain (beautiful but crowded), and the carousel at night (use flash for photos). ♦️Heartfelt Advice 8. Highly recommended attractions: (Most popular) Frozen World - Frozen Ever After (Most thrilling) Tomorrowland - Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (Front row seats) Tomorrowland - Iron Man Experience (Stunning) Grizzly Gulch - Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars (Sunset photos) Fantasyland - Dumbo the Flying Elephant ♦️Heartfelt Advice 9. If an attraction breaks down during your visit, be sure to ask staff for a FastPass. You can use it to ride later or for another attraction. ♦️Heartfelt Advice 10. Fireworks show times vary daily, so check in real-time. Recommended viewing spots: near the trash bin facing the castle in the plaza, and around the restaurants on both sides behind the castle for the best atmosphere.

Winter is the perfect season to savor rich and flavorful dishes! Recently, I had the pleasure of enjoying a limited-time authentic Shanghainese meal with friends, and it was not only authentic but also incredibly delightful. We visited the familiar Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui's The Chinese Restaurant to taste the Shanghai flavors brought by Chef Liu Zhifang, the Executive Sous Chef from Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park. As a fan of Shanghainese cuisine, I was filled with anticipation. First up were the Jellyfish Head from Zhoushan ($148) and Razor Clams in Spicy Sauce ($188)! The restaurant thoughtfully served these dishes individually, and the presentation was exquisite. Razor Clams in Spicy Sauce! The chilled and refreshing sauce was packed with a spicy and aromatic flavor, and the chewy razor clams were incredibly addictive. Jellyfish Head from Zhoushan! Made with fresh jellyfish heads from Zhoushan, the dish was delightfully crunchy, paired with tangy and appetizing Italian balsamic jelly, making it a perfect starter. Salted Pork and Bamboo Shoot Soup ($198/person)! The creamy and rich soup was incredibly sweet and flavorful, featuring my favorite bamboo shoots and tofu knots that absorbed all the deliciousness. The savory and umami taste of the soup was simply irresistible. Braised King Prawns ($168/person)! The impressive presentation of the large prawns was eye-catching. The sweet and savory braised sauce was perfectly balanced, and the tender, bouncy prawns coated in the flavorful sauce were absolutely divine. Grandma's Braised Pork Belly ($328)! The pork belly, with its perfect balance of fat and lean meat, was braised to perfection. The fat melted in the mouth while the lean meat was tender and flavorful. It was so delicious that it was hard to resist pairing it with rice. Crispy Spring Rolls ($88/3 pieces)! The filling included shredded pork, bamboo shoots, and cabbage, making it very hearty. Each bite was crispy yet not greasy, with a rich and satisfying flavor. Pan-Fried Dumplings ($98/3 pieces)! Shaped like crescent moons, the dumplings had a golden crispy bottom. The dough was soft yet crispy, and the filling was aromatic and delicious. Mango Sago Pomelo Dessert ($58)! I loved the version here, as it wasn't overly creamy and had a strong fruity aroma. It was filled with plenty of mango and pomelo pulp, and the sweetness was just right, making it very enjoyable. The à la carte menu by the guest chef from Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park is available from now until December 31.

Recently, Hong Kong has been experiencing a wave of discounts, and I discovered b.o.t.h. by Texas Burger. Their dinner set menu offers a variety of choices at very reasonable prices! Their signature homemade burger dinner sets start at just $69, and you can also add on other delicious items. Home-Made Burger 🍔 Texas BBQ Cheese Beef Burger + Crispy Fries $113 The beef patty is juicy with a hint of spice from the cheese and BBQ sauce, making it very flavorful. The bun is soft, and the portion of fries is generous! Comes with White Peach Iced Tea. 🔸 Canadian Bone-In Pork Chop with Sea Salt Caramel Apple Sauce The pork chop is tender and chewy, perfectly paired with the apple sauce. Comes with Chicken Skin Dumplings (4 pcs) and Hot White Peach Tea. 🔸 Buffalo Wings (5 pcs) $118 Large-sized wings with classic Buffalo flavor, served with blue cheese sauce. 🔸 Classic Banana Soufflé Pancakes $98 Preparation takes 25 minutes. The soufflé pancakes 🥞 come in three large, fluffy pieces with a rich egg flavor, paired with caramelized bananas 🍌 that rival those from specialty dessert shops. b.o.t.h. by Texas Burger (Tsuen Wan) 📍 Shop 337, 3/F, Tsuen Wan Plaza, 4-30 Tai Pa Street, Tsuen Wan

📌 Climb Victoria Peak (the highest point in Hong Kong) and enjoy the views of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Take the Morning Trail route to the Peak Galleria shopping mall. Another option is to take the Peak Tram and see the famous views from a slightly different angle. Try to arrive at the Peak by sunset to witness the sky changing colors and the skyscrapers lighting up with millions of lights. 📌 Try the Local Cuisine In Hong Kong, you can easily find food to suit any taste. But visiting Hong Kong without trying the local delicacies is a real crime. For delicious dim sum, head to Luk Yu Teahouse. To taste the famous BBQ pork with rice and pineapple buns, I recommend Kam Wah Cafe and Sun Kwai Heung. 📌 See the Big Buddha Don't forget to visit the nearby Po Lin Monastery. To make your trip to the Buddha truly unforgettable, take a ride on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car (the longest in Asia), during which you won't be able to take your eyes off the emerald-green islands and the sparkling waters of the South China Sea. 📌 Enjoy the Hong Kong Panorama From the Avenue of Stars, you can enjoy one of the best views of Hong Kong. For the full experience, come here at 8:00 PM to watch the famous "Symphony of Lights" laser show, which is listed in the Guinness World Records. 📌 Have Fun at Theme Parks For 40 years, Hong Kong's Ocean Park has been entertaining visitors with thrilling rides and the chance to see animals from all over the world. And, of course, head to Disneyland for a magical date with Mickey. 📌 A Few More Interesting Recommendations from Me: I love the Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai districts. They are always vibrant, with plenty of establishments and shops to suit any taste. The Ozone Bar at The Ritz-Carlton hotel. This is the highest bar in the world, located on the 118th floor. The panoramic view will leave you speechless. Fans of lively nightlife will love the Lan Kwai Fong district. It's Hong Kong's main entertainment street, full of bars, music, dancing, and people enjoying life.

If you're in Hong Kong, I definitely recommend visiting Victoria Peak. From the top, you'll enjoy an incredible view of all of Hong Kong. Try to arrive at the Peak at sunset to see the sky change color and the skyscrapers light up with millions of lights. 🌇 🕐Opening Hours: 7:30 AM - 11:00 PM 🚕There are several ways to climb Victoria Peak from Hong Kong Island. 📌The most affordable option is bus number 15, which takes 30-40 minutes to the summit. The stop is at Exchange Square, which is located near Hong Kong MTR (Exit A2) and Central (Exit F) stations. 📌You can also take the Morning Trail to the Peak Galleria shopping mall. 📌Another option is to take the Peak Tram funicular and see the famous views from a slightly different perspective. When ascending, try to get a seat on the right side and on the left when descending, so you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Victoria Harbor. The entire journey takes 10 minutes, and a roundtrip ticket, including entrance to the observation deck, costs HK$270 (approximately 2,800 rubles). Carriages depart every 15 minutes.

The Hong Kong Cultural Museum focuses on showing local cultural and artistic characteristics. The space is spacious and the atmosphere is modern and humanistic. It is a good place to take a photo and enjoy Hong Kong's diverse culture. Both indoor exhibitions and outdoor landscapes are full of architectural beauty. A closer look shows many local comic book masters such as Lao Fu Zi, Cowboy, Yu Lang and other related exhibition areas, which is amazing. Hong Kong comic culture is so exciting. Recommended Route: It is recommended to start from the entrance and stroll through the lobby of the main hall to feel the characteristic architecture combined with natural light. Then there are classic characters from Yuro manga. Finally, visit the back garden of the museum. The outdoor space is surrounded by green trees, suitable for sitting and resting or taking pictures, and feel the leisurely side of Sha Tin. Must-play items/photo spots: - Comic exhibition area: large statue of Old Man, comic wall, every scene is suitable for photography. - Featured Exhibition Hall: Regularly different local art, history thematic exhibitions, the content is often updated. - Museum backyard: outdoor with tree shadows and modern architecture, extremely Hong Kong local aesthetic. The Hong Kong Cultural Museum is not only an art venue, but also collects precious local comic memories. It is perfect for slow walks, hipster photos, and allows you to feel the extraordinary creativity of Hong Kong comics.

You can also pay extra to upgrade your meal, with plenty of options to choose from. 😋 Here’s what I tried this time: ✝️ Appetizers - Veal with Tuna Sauce - Tender veal slices 🐮, roasted and thinly sliced, topped with a slightly salty tuna sauce, served with salad greens 🥗, oil-preserved sun-dried tomatoes, and dehydrated capers. The flavors are rich and layered, with the sweetness of the veal perfectly blending with the other ingredients. - Beef Tartare (+$58) - Finely chopped Fassona beef, soft and smooth, paired with pickled shallots, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese sauce, and mustard egg yolk sauce, served with crispy crackers. The texture and taste are full of delightful surprises. 🎉 ✝️ Main Courses - Duck Ragu Pappardelle ($258) - The restaurant’s handmade pappardelle has a chewy texture, and the duck ragu is rich and slightly aromatic 🌱, topped with Parmesan cheese 🧀. It’s flavorful till the last bite without feeling heavy. - Buffalo Mozzarella Parma Ham Pizza ($288) - The pizza is made fresh on-site 🍕, with a crispy crust, a perfectly balanced sweet and tangy tomato sauce, creamy and stretchy buffalo mozzarella, and 18-month-aged Parma ham. The salty and savory ham pairs beautifully with the refreshing arugula, making it a must-try. 🤤 ✝️ Desserts - Panna Cotta ($48) - The panna cotta is delicate and creamy, served with raspberry jam and fresh berries 🫐, offering a refreshing sweet and tangy finish. - Tiramisu ($58) - Perfect for Instagram, with the UNO logo dusted in cocoa powder on top. The ladyfingers soaked in coffee liqueur are layered with mascarpone cheese, delivering a rich coffee flavor with just the right sweetness. Pair it with a cup of cappuccino (+$20) or latte (+$20) for an excellent experience, or opt for the 90-minute free-flow drinks for an indulgent treat. 🍹

If you also think that the Christmas atmosphere must be shiny, joyful, or you are a little childlike like me, then definitely collect this trip! This time I rushed directly into Hong Kong Disneyland and made a special pilgrimage to the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Main Street in American Town - seriously, at that moment, both adults and children, the mood will be ignited by this giant Christmas tree✨ The lights at night plus a pool of romantic crowds is the kind of exclusive happiness that can only be found in Disney! 🎄Itinerary Highlight Recommendation This year, the Christmas tree lighting on Main Street in American Town is really super atmospheric. The lights and music make the whole atmosphere feel like a fairy tale world has come. Beautiful and healing to take pictures, with the night view of the Victoria Harbor as a background, super fantastic! Many families, couples, and parent-child combinations at the scene did not feel crowded, and everyone waited patiently just to witness the moment when this Christmas tree lit up. And Disney’s Christmas-themed decorations are surprising every year, full of happiness! 📍American Town Main Street Address: Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong Opening hours: year-round 10:30–19:30 (Mon, Wednesday, Friday-Sun) 10:00–21:00 (Tue, Thursday) It is recommended to arrive 40 minutes before the lighting ceremony to occupy a good seat. ✔️ Disney Christmas Tree Photo Tips 1. Recommended viewing time: It is recommended to reserve in advance before 7pm (or according to on-site announcement), the later the more people. 2. Photography angle: Shoot from the direction directly opposite the Princess Castle, with the bright night sky behind, rich composition layers, super out of the film. 3. Remember to bring your jacket as the weather turns cooler, and the wind in American town is stronger in the evening than expected, hot chocolate is highly recommended on the drink list during the wait! 4. There are many Christmas limited items in the shops in the park. 🍴Food recommendations Have a cup of Mickey-shaped hot cocoa before your trip, or try Christmas-only items (such as turkey legs, gingerbread man desserts) at the Main Street restaurant that will warm you up from your heart to your stomach in minutes. And some restaurants such as Corner Café and Plaza Inn have special Christmas packages, built

This trip to Hong Kong was filled with joy and the vibrant spirit of Christmas. Upon arriving at Harbour City, the first thing that caught my eye was the magnificent "Magical Christmas" decorations. A giant Christmas tree adorned with sparkling lights, along with Disney elements like Mickey Mouse, added a warm and charming touch to the atmosphere. Every corner was meticulously decorated, turning into perfect photo spots that no one could resist capturing. The surrounding area was filled with laughter from both tourists and locals, creating a truly festive and happy energy. After strolling around and admiring the beautiful lights, the highlight of the evening was the breathtaking view of the skyscrapers at night along Victoria Harbour. The dark sky contrasted with the shimmering lights of the buildings, especially those adorned with Christmas decorations and colorful LED patterns, bringing the city to life. Watching the ferries glide across the water reflecting the lights was a serene yet deeply impressive moment. Hong Kong during the festive season is not just beautiful but feels like walking through a Christmas movie scene. Everything—from the lights, colors, sounds, to the atmosphere—was perfectly in harmony, making this evening one of the most memorable moments of the trip. ❤️✨

#hongkong ##RepulseBay Repulse Bay — Hong Kong's beach district Repulse Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained beaches in the city. It's free of the usual Asian chaos: clean sand, calm water, a well-maintained promenade, and a very relaxed atmosphere. 📍 Where is it In the southern part of Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is one of the most prestigious and green areas. 🚇 How to get there There is no direct metro, but it's very easy to get there: — Bus #6, 6X, 66, or 260 from Central (terminus at Exchange Square) — The journey takes 20–25 minutes, the bus stops right at the beach — It's a 1-minute walk from the stop 🏖 What awaits you? — Wide sandy beach — Very clear water (surprisingly so for a metropolis!) — Well-maintained promenade with palm trees — Beautiful views of the islands — Calm, resort-like atmosphere, completely different from central Hong Kong ⛱ Infrastructure — Showers, restrooms, changing rooms — Lifeguards — Cafes, shops, and small restaurants along the beach — The Pulse, a large shopping complex right by the water, offers restaurants, coffee shops, a supermarket, and work space 🎎 What's nearby? If you're looking for a stroll, there are some great places nearby: — A temple on the shore with giant statues—Tin Hau & Kwun Yam Statues (5-minute walk) — Deep Water Bay Beach—a neighboring, quieter beach — Ocean Park—a large theme park, 10-15 minutes by bus 💡 Good to know: — The beach gets crowded in the summer; It's best to come in the morning or closer to sunset. — The water is cool in winter, but it's still worth the trip for the atmosphere. — There's almost no shade on the sand—bring a hat or umbrella.

This restaurant is located within a historic building in Wan Chai, offering both indoor and terrace seating. The indoor decor is elegant and grand, exuding a vintage charm, with dim lighting creating a romantic ambiance 💖. The terrace seating, on the other hand, allows diners to enjoy delicious food while taking in the street views of Wan Chai—so chill~ 😌 We visited on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the afternoon tea set for two. The set includes savory bites, desserts, and drinks, priced at HKD398 for two people, offering great value for money! 🤩 (For an additional HKD200, you can enjoy unlimited sparkling wine 🥂). Afternoon tea is available every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday from 3 PM to 6 PM❕ The savory items include lobster rolls, beef sliders, beef tartare with caviar, tuna and avocado tart, homemade mini pizzas, and a variety of sandwiches—such a rich selection 😋. Among them, the beef sliders and tuna avocado tart were the most delightful surprises. The former featured tender and juicy beef, while the latter was refreshing and appetizing ✨. As for the desserts, there were plain and chocolate scones, tiramisu tarts, and even a cake trolley where you could choose your own cakes~ 😍 The overall quality of the afternoon tea was pleasantly surprising. The environment was elegant and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and courteous, even proactively refilling our wine~ 👍🏻. We heard that the restaurant also features live music performances, so we’ll definitely come back for a drink with friends next time 😏. 📍THE STAGE - 2/F, 60-66 Johnston Road, Wan Chai

#hongkong Sai Wan Swimming Shed — an atmospheric spot by the water in Hong Kong If you want to see not only skyscrapers but also experience the calm, cinematic side of Hong Kong, come to Sai Wan Swimming Shed. This is a wooden pier by the water where locals come to swim, and tourists come for incredible photos against the backdrop of the sea and islands. 📍 Where is it? West Hong Kong, Kennedy Town / Sai Wan. This is a "local" area of ​​the city — quiet, without the tourist crowds, and with a beautiful waterfront. 🚇 How to get there The most convenient option is the metro and walking. — MTR Kennedy Town Station — Exit A — From the exit, it's about a 12-15-minute walk along the waterfront. The walk is easy, and the view along the way is very beautiful — the sea, boats, and sunset. At the entrance to the swimming area, there are stairs leading down to the pier. It's small, metal, and gently sways—be careful if the waves are strong. 🌊 What awaits you? — An atmospheric wooden bridge over the water — A beautiful view of the islands and the South China Sea — A perfect spot for sunset photos — Sometimes locals actually come here to swim Good to know: — It's best to arrive during golden hour: the sunset here looks stunning — If you decide to swim, be careful: there are sometimes strong currents 🎎 What to see nearby? After your visit, you can stroll through Kennedy Town: — Belcher Bay Promenade — Cafes and coffee shops on Catchick Street. If you feel like sitting down (for example, Waffling Beans or %Arabica on the promenade)

#NovemberDestinations2025 Hong Kong is a perfect place to take a half-day or full-day off on Friday, or even travel after work. Flights are less than 2 hours, there's no time difference, no language barrier, and you can set off anytime without much planning! Since we're only here for three days, we'll focus on Hong Kong Island, leaving Kowloon for next time. ✈️ Flights - Hong Kong Express (Low-cost carrier) Any carry-on baggage of any size needs to be weighed! I bought extra carry-on baggage allowance, but even with carry-on baggage, it still can't exceed the 7kg limit. 🚌 Airport to City - Citybus or MTR Airport Express Airport Express HK$115, Citybus only HK$42 Based on my hotel, the Citybus doesn't require transfers and takes about the same amount of time, so isn't almost a third of the fare a great deal? 😆 Don't assume the MTR is always faster! 💳 Octopus Card Not a must-buy! Not a must-buy! Not a must-buy! (Important, said three times) Most public transport accepts credit cards at the same price; having an Octopus card is slightly more convenient or secure, but it's perfectly fine not to buy one. 👌🏻 If you don't want to keep a physical card as a souvenir, you can just buy a rental Octopus card. ⚠️ The first purchase of a rental card costs HK$200, a HK$50 deposit + HK$150 stored value, cash only. ⚠️ Rental cards are not sold at the airport! You need to buy them at the customer service centers in specific MTR stations (they are available at stations frequently visited by travelers; you can also buy them in the city). ⚠️ If you want to return the card and get your deposit back within 90 days of purchasing a rental card, there will be a handling fee! If you don't use it at all within three years, a HK$15 administrative fee will also be deducted. Therefore, it is recommended that when making your last transaction, the balance should be exactly negative HK$50, so you don't need to return the card and won't waste your deposit! (The maximum negative balance for a rented Octopus card is -HKD 50 = deposit value) 🚎 City Transportation - MTR, Bus, or Hong Kong Island's unique Ding Ding tram ⚠️ MTR fares vary depending on distance, starting from HKD 4.9 ⚠️ Bus fares are uncertain; I took one for about 30 minutes and it cost HKD 7.7. ⚠️ Ding Ding tram fares are a flat HKD 3.3, perfect for running and jumping around Hong Kong Island (super retro and cute, great for taking photos). If you can take the Ding Ding tram, just choose it without hesitation. 🚠 Peak Tram - Victoria Peak Tram ⚠️ Don't buy tickets in advance! The queues for buying tickets on-site and buying in advance are different, but these days, far too many people buy tickets in advance! The queues for those who buy tickets in advance aren't necessarily shorter! If you find there are fewer people at the pre-purchase ticket counter when you arrive, just buy your tickets on Trip.com; the ticketing process is very fast. ⚠️ There are a few disadvantages to buying tickets in advance: 1. The date cannot be changed or cancelled. 2. Due to platform errors, the QR code for pre-purchased tickets may not scan. I encountered this problem! Others around me also had the same issue and ended up buying tickets on-site again. 🫠 ⚠️ If you want to take photos of the scenery, remember to sit on the right side. 🚌 Hotel shuttle bus (if any) The Emperor Grand View Hotel I chose this time was very affordable, but it provided shuttle buses to Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Station, etc., which was super convenient! I suggest considering this when choosing a hotel. Travel Dates: 2025/11
