Hong Kong Tourist Spots

I was forced to go through this tour. Coz the board exam is so near that going to this trip made me feel so guilty.


I have been able to read as much as 4 Civil Code articles only!


And as a tour guide in this trip, I was forced to make agendas. And as I've noticed, there isn't much information on how to go through HK with much detail.


Our trip to Hong Kong. If you're going to travel through HK, the best means of transportation is through the MTR. The Octopus card costs HK$150, HK$50 for the deposit which is refundable when you depart HK. The minimum refill amount is HK$50. The Octopus card serves as an all-purpose transportation card which you can use in buses and trains.

Our first stop is the Giant Buddha in Lantau Island.


Now, how to get there. There are two ways in reaching it. First is through riding a bus. You ride the train to Tung Chung line, and go through B exit. From there, look for the bus station. Ride bus # 23. That bus goes to the Po Lin Monastery.



Second is through the cable car. On holidays, the rate is HK$155 for adults, for kids, I'm not so sure anymore. It's definitely lower if it isn't a holiday. That rate is for the round trip. The last cable going back to Tung Chung departs at 6:30pm.


Next is the famous Ocean Park. Go to Admiralty station in the Chai Wan line. There are arrows or guides in the station pointing to the Ocean Park buses. You can buy your tickets there too. The booth opens at 9am. Adult tickets cost HK$208. The bus directly takes you to Ocean Park entrance.



For Mong Kok night market, from Mong Kok, use exit A or B.



Stanley Market is one of the places where you can get cheaper products like bags and shoes. Go to the Exchange Square in Central Station. From the bus station, ride either bus # 6 or 6X. There is a difference in the routes. If you ride 6X, you can pass by Ocean Park. Stanley Market is situated in Aberdeen. Octopus card can be used. The bus ride costs about HK$7.45-8.55.



Peak Tram. Ride bus # 15 in the Exchange Square or walk 10-15 minutes from Central to go there. If you walk, you can pass by the Hong Kong Park. From Admiralty Station, use exit F to go to Hong Kong Park, then walk. The Peak Tram ride to HK tower costs HK$33 and HK$22 going back. If you want to enter the tower, it will cost an additional HK$115 if I'm correct. It could be HK$150. You can see the rest of HK from there. You can use Octopus card here.



Temple Street in Jordan. Get off in Jordan station and take exit A. 3 blocks away from the exit, you can see a closed street labeled Temple Street. It is similar to Mong Kok's night market.

Western Market. Get off in Sheung Wan Station, take exit C.



For museums such as the Space Museum, get off Tsim Sha Tsui Station. DO NOT GET OFF IN EAST TSIM CHA TSUI. Use exit E and walk south.



Wong Tai Sin Temple. Get off Wong Tai Sin in the Kwun Tung Line, and use exit B2.

Wan Chai Shopping District. Get off the Wan Chai Station in the Island/Chai Wan Line and use exit B1 or A4. Or any other exits. The whole place is a shopping district. The Wan Chai Convention Center is not near the MTR station, so if you're in for the long walk, see the convention center, it's nice.


DisneyLand. Get off Sunny Bay from the Tung Chung Line. There is an interchanging station there to Disney Land. The train is awfully Disney. Hahaha... I forgot how much the entrance to DisneyLand costs. But it is definitely more than HK$200.



To go to Macau, use Turbo Jet in Sheun Wan Station. Ticket costs about HK$100++. The ride is about 1hour. For those with motion sickness, i suggest you take a medicin before stepping into the ferry. =P




Hope that helped you adventurous fellas out there. There isn't this much detail when I searched the net. ^-^
