Hong Kong 3 nights suggested itinerary?
« on: July 30, 2009, 08:40:03 AM »
Hi all,

I'm going to Macau for 1 night then onto Hong Kong for 3 nights.
It's my first trip to Hong Kong and Macau.
Can anyone suggest an itinerary please? I would like to take in all the most important sites, try dim sum and visit electronic / clothes markets.
Where is the best area to stay in Hong Kong ? Want to be handy for travelling around so can see as much as possible. My budget is around 450 to 500HKD a night.
Anyone suggest any hotels to stay?

Thanks for your help.

DON’T FORGET TO GET A GUIDEMAP of HONGKONG AT THE AIRPORT (its free)

Cosmic Guest House (Mirador Mansion) is strategically located at the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui with utmost convenience. The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) station is situated just below our building along with 37 bus lines accessible right outside our front entrance. Travelers have the choice of taking, the Citybus A21 Route, the taxis or the MTR Airport Express to reach Cosmic Guest House from the airport.
By Citybus A21 Route: Travel Time 50 minutes Cost: HK$33
Airport bus is the most popular method to get to Cosmic. Before you head toward the bus station, make sure you have enough cash on you. It’s HK$33 to get to Tsim Sha Tsui. The Airbus Station is located near Hall B on the Arrivals Level (Level 5) of Hong Kong International Airport. Find the bus stand for A21 Airport <-> Hung Hom KCR Station Route. You will see a map of the terminal. There is usually a lineup of around 10. The bus departs approximately every 15 minutes.
When you are on the bus, be sure to first secure your luggage then find a sit on the lower level. In 45 – 90 minutes (varies with traffic) you will reach the 13th (1st being the airport) stop – Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.
Once you got off the bus, you will encounter a number of sales representatives aggressively tying to persuade you to their guest house. Some would even claim they are from Cosmic. Please ignore, and then proceed approximately 50 steps in the direction of the bus. You will then see the Mirador Mansion front entrance on your left. When you are in the elevator, hit 12th floor. When you are out, Cosmic Guest House should be within your sight.

You’ll be driven up the ‘golden mile’, as it’s known, before reaching Temple Street Market, a maze of streets packed with curios and souvenirs. Although both of these things can be done individually for free, Temple Street Market and Nathan Road can be packed with people and a little overwhelming, therefore some people find a guided tour more relaxing.
