HK Trip 2015 (Day 5)

July 29th, 2015

It's my 5th day and it was my last full day in HK, so I tried to squeeze in as many places as possible from my list.

So.. We started the day by eating breakfast at the hotel, then off we go to explore Hong Kong! :)

First thing first: Shopping! I've been reading so many blogs about trips to HK, and there are quite a lot of people who went to Argyle Centre to shop, besides, I want to try the famous cold noodle which located in New Town Mall (connected with Argyle Centre). I was there around 12pm, but there were some stores that still closed, so I think it's better to go there by 2pm. If you want to shop in here don't forget to haggle! But, most of the stores I went have price tags so it's a fixed price, but you can try ;) There are a lot of stores that sell the same clothes with different prices, so find the cheapest one! ;P

HK Trip 2015 (Day 4)

July 28th, 2015

On my 4th day in Hong Kong, we went to Ocean Park. It took 15-20 mins (HKD 57) from our hotel in Causeway Bay by taxi. Since we are a group of 10 people, it's cheaper and faster to go there by taxi than citybus. The ticket price for Ocean Park are HKD 345 for adult and HKD 173 for child.

We arrived at 10 am, and it was scorching hot.

HK Trip 2015 (Day 1)

July 25th, 2015

Two months ago I went to HK to attend my cousin's wedding. The date is after my final exam, so it was a perfect time to celebrate and vacation! After searching and browsing for a few months, I found a few places to eat and shop.

And for you who like me ;) who need a prepaid sim card with data plan, you can buy it at 1010 store at the airport. From what I read, one2free seems like a good deal. I plan to buy the 5 days pass (HKD 88) but at the end I used other sim card because my uncle had already bought it.

And if you plan to use a lot of MTR or bus, you can also buy octopus card at the airport. Just buy the standard octopus card for HKD 150 (deposit HKD 50, stored value HKD 100), and at the end of your trip you can exchange your card to get your deposit and the remaining value back.

Get to the city? How? I think the easiest way is to use a cab. But you can also use Airport Express, for single journey to/from airport:
