Hong Kong

Can someone tell me about the weather conditions in next few days( 20 to 25th June) at Hong Kong..particularly is the rainy weather convenient to visit the major tourist attractions during this period?

Hi, I am going to Hongkong for over 2 weeks in Christmas. First, is it a good idea - how pleasant weather is there? Rain, wind, or like European September? And another question: i am going to make some trips to other places nearby. First, i planned to go to Sanya, but it is apparently quite expensive flight. Are there some cheap airlines, like Ryanair, to go to places like Singapore, or Phuket, or other worth places?

Going to Hongkong next thurs june 20, hope can meet new friends from here, anyone going there too?

Planning my first long trip this fall, but it's tough to wrap my head around the time difference.

If I take the redeye flight from JFK after midnight Thursday morning, when I arrive, it will be Friday morning there, right?

If I want to spend four days there from Friday morning through Monday evening, will it be Monday night when I arrive sixteen hours later at JFK?

Hi, I'm traveling to HK in the 1st week of June and am planning on buying an iPad and a Samsung phone. I figured, I'd visit Sa Yeung Choi and look at the products there then if I'm feeling suspicious, there's a Fortress Branch nearby and I can make my purchase there. (It would probably be a bit expensive but still cheaper from where I am.) What I want to ask is: is it safe to buy my gadgets from this place? What do I have to watch out for? Can I bargain? What time do they open/close? I'm planning to drop by at around 3-4ishPM. Is that okay?

Is anyone familiar if there are reasonably priced shared apartments or dormitory near Queen Mary hospital for long-term stay? I'm looking for a place to stay for my forthcoming studies in HK University and training in QMH. Thank you for your suggestion.

I m looking for package forwarding service (it is like a MyUS.com ) ,send package from Hon Kong to Japan.
It would be helpful if you could share information about that kind of service.

Staying in the City Garden hotel from 23 tilll 26 of may.

Looking at my options for travel methods. We are flying into HKG from Canada and staying at the YMCA Salisbury (Kowloon). If we want to travel to Bejing in 1 day (not overnight train, and yes we'll have our visas), is it easy enough to get some sort of shuttle from our hotel to either Guarngzhou aripoort or Shenzhen airport? The cost seems to be cheaper than flying from HKG, by a few bucks or more, maybe. I looked for a bullet train but we'd still have to get to Shenzhen for that anyway and I'm not sure how reliable they are.We are also going to spend a couple days in Pingyao (via Taiyuan airport), 3 or 4 nights in Zhangjiajie (either direct or through Changsha?), and either an afternoon or max 1 night in Xi'an, and we're travelling by air (preferred) or train (not overnight though). So, here's me trying to juggle the routing around, see what flows better. Suggestions? Also, I need clarification on how traveling from Kowloon to mainland China works, with respect to either Guranzhou airport or Shenzhen (which is easier, less complicated, cheaper?). Thanks!

Doing some research on hotelswith a view of Victoria Harbour from the Kowloon side. The lowest price hotel with a ROOM with a harbour view is the YMCA Salisbury, and I've booked it but they tell me that most of their 'partial harbour view' rooms will be under renovation while I'm there in September thus I'll likely have no view at all BUT what about other hotels? I don't wish to pay higher than the Salisbury however I thought maybe there is a hotel on Kowloon side that has a rooftop cafe or an observatory that we can rent the room (no view from the room) and is cheap or cheaper but you can still get a nice slice of the view if you go up to the roof and hang for a while? I don't want a bar or lounge, just an observation deck or rooftop cafe/restaurant I can take photos from at sunset/night. Suggestions?

Hi there kind expert travellers! My 7 year old daughter and I will be visiting Hongkong-Shenzen this 1st week of April. Our third day of stay is free but I want to bring her to Ocean Park.

Is there a free shuttle we can avail of? As for our fourth day, the morning is free until check out time. Where is the best place to do some quick and economical shopping? Thanks very much for your help.

we will be in HK airport on May for 10 hrs stopovers....what is the easiest way to reach HK Disney? thanks!

Hi everyone. Me and a friend will be staying in hong kong for 5days. On our last day, we'll go to disneyland until the end of the fireworks then go straight to the airport since our flight for that day would be 10:05pm. My question is, is it doable?

Hello everyone. I will have a 3-day stopover in Hong Kong soon and I would be grateful for some tips in terms of timing and suggested area for accommodation. I will arrive Hong Kong on 14 March at 3 p.m. and leave on 17 March at 5 p.m. What I am planning is: shopping (mainly clothes, maybe some electronics), take a ride on the Ngong Ping cable car, have a harbor cruise and see Macau (half day there – I’ve heard that is enough time to spend there). Is that all doable in your opinion? If not, what shall I skip from this short list? Could you please let me know in which area shall book a hotel to have possibly easy and convenient access to a/m attractions? Any tips will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
