I have travelled much of the world and to me, this is the best skyline especially at night. There are many places to view the skyline from Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront to Victoria Peak which are probably… Full review by Liveandsee23

There are two good locations to enjoy the Hong Kong skyline. The first one is at Victoria Peak. The second one is at Tsim Sha Tsui, preferably on a Star Ferry which also puts you in the middle of t… Full review by Michael K
What is he situation for toutirsts currently in Hong Kong. Is it safe? Can tourists get around safely and explore the city or would you advise agaist travelling and staying in Hong Kong whilst the protest are happening? Have booked 5 nights in October and considering cancelling due to the protests happening. Dont want to spend 5 nights in the hotel unable to get around the city due to the protests and constant tear gas being sprayed etc.. . advise please from any tourists currently in Hong Kong.

My husband & I just returned from 7 nights on Hong Kong Island & we experienced no protesting problems. We stayed at Harbour Grand HK & only went over to the Kowloon area one night and didn’t like it. Too busy for us,ppl hassling you to buy fake watches etc,so we stayed mainly on HK Island. We took the MTR and a few buses for getting around.Buy an Octopus Card & any $ still on it at the end of your holiday is refunded. We took the Tram up to Victoria Peak - great views,plan to be there over lunch as quite a few restaurants and some shops. We took a ferry over to Macau. ( Took 1 hr & make sure you get the one that goes to the Taipa Macau wharf,then 5 mins in taxi to Hyatt, where the show is,see below) This area is like a mini Vegas. If you go over, you must see The House of Dancing Water Show - it will blow you away.Its on at 5pm & 8pm & goes for about 80mins.Only place in the world it’s shown. We took a ferry out to Lamma Island,little fishing Village.Had some great Seafood at Sandy’s We took a bus down south to Stanley - Stanley Markets and some cute restaurants again with good seafood. The ferry’s leave from HK Island We flew out late Sunday night and had no probs getting to the airport by taxi. 45 minutes. But later that evening the protesters did set fire etc to the MTR Central station entrance on HK Island. We were considering cancelling our holiday,but felt because we were down on HK Island there was less risk of protesting. We really enjoyed our week. I hope if you do go you have an enjoyable time with no problems
Hi.. I'm going on this September with my daughter which is six years old and my sister. Any place which is convenient to stay and should we take three days of double deck bus tour? I have three nights in Hong Kong before I move into Disneyland hotel.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile in Kowloon on Nathan Road and it was great - right by the MTR and a 8 min walk to the ferry terminal. Safe and surrounded by good restaurants and shopping. As for bus tours, it depends on what you want to see. If all of your sights are on the bus map and that's how you want to get around, yes, that's a good idea but it's a bit slow and expensive. Maybe take a day off the bus for touring at leisure?
Hello everyone. I have a general question. I have 7 days between seoul and Hong Kong. how many days is good for each. also what area and which hotel is good in Hong kong? for me the most important thing is to be in center of all actions and don't have to travel a lot in a short time I have.

I think 3 days in each place is good. In Seoul - try and get a hotel near the Myeongdong area. I stayed at Hotel Venue G. It was within 30 min walking distance to most of the interesting places like Insadol, the Palaces, the temples, Tapgol park, the shopping areas, Money museum etc. The metro stations were within 5 min walking distance. For Hong Kong, I preferred Hong Kong Island over Kowloon. I stayed in Harbour Grand hotel in North Point. It was a pricey hotel as I was with my family. I am sure you can obtain a more economically priced hotel in the Causeway Bay area. This is a lively place with lots of eating places, bars and shops. Give yourself one day to visit Kowloon. The star ferry runs frequent services between Hong Kong and Kowloon. In Kowloon you will find Kowloon Park, Nathan and Chatham Roads, the avenue of stars, promenade (to watch the light show), Jade market, many shops and eating places, museums. Spend another day going to Macau on the early morning Turbojet ferry and returning in the evening. Best to book tickets in advance and online - so that you get cheap tickets. Otherwise, you will pay for more expensive tickets if you go to the ferry terminal to buy tickets as the cheap ones are all sold out. Spend another day in Lantau Island. Take the yellow metro line to Tung Chung. From here take the cable car to Ngong Ping Village to see the Buddha and the monastery. From here take a bus to Tai O fishing village - and return to Tung Chung by bus. If you need any other information, let me know.
Hi All, I'm planning for a trip to Hong Kong with Family including kids. My questions is as follows: a. How many days shall we plan? b. Shall we include Macau as well, is it worth visiting with kids? c. Shall we stay inside Disneyland or outside in a hotel and visit disney land? d. How shall we plan our days? Any suggested itinerary would be really helpful and appreciated Regards Amrit

a. 4 days 3 nights should be plenty . b. Add One more day if you go to Macau. If you do go, catch the “Dancing Water” show which will impress kids & adults. I’m not a big fan of Macau. But, some might like the Portuguese restaurants , glittery buildings Las Vegas style including one that’s a replica of Eiffel Tower. c. If your kids are fairly into Disney stuff then it might be fun for them to stay one of the nights in one of the Disney hotels. Various Disney characters move around in the Hotel restaurants which is nice for kids. Downside : some price premium . d. Use the recommendations on Trip Advsior eg visit the Peak, Victoria Harbour, Ocean Park... Stanley .
