Travel: China - Hong Kong

I always use Asiatravel.com to book my hotel in HK. Going again next week....sigh!

Do you know if branded stuff are cheaper in HK???? Eg. Gucci (besides the 7% gst)?

Also, I heard rolex/ watches are cheaper there too. Know of any reputable shops?

With the current exchange, it appears quite favorable.

We are looking forward to our trip in November :lol:

you may want to google for the authorised agent in HK for lolax/kuci etc

it could be cheaper, and you are right about the HK$ - and I would add also due to weaker Euros thesedays but Swiss Francs may still be strong

my personal preference is The Salisbury, walking distance to Tsimshatsui MTR station

Which stanford at Kowloon is it ? IF it is the Intercontinental, its price willbe about double that of The Salisbury, depending on which day

and if you spend a lot of time in Mongkok at ladies street / temple street then Metropark is ideal

Thanks!

If ladies street is really worth to go then maybe we will book Metropark. Thanks!

aunties clothes probably can find around smaller boutiques along Nathan Road and Harbour City (Canton Road)

Hi,

Going to HK mid Dec. Read through the thread, don’t seem to have muc comments on shopping places. Looking for nice ladies and men’s wear with good value for money.

Any recommendation?

Since going in Dec, will there be only winter wear n no summer wear suitable for Singapore climate?

Please share your experience.

Thanx Thanx!!

Hihi..


I am intending to bring my 2 kids with me next year either Mar or Sep. But I am confused on the Hotel booking. My DD is 3yo and DS 1yo.

:?

May I know is 2 double beds enough for us?
Do I need to include my DS during the booking? Coz whenever I stated 2 adults and 2 children, not many hotels are available for me to choose.

Actually I want to book Metropark hotel Mongkok which is within my budget. So is there any recommendation on the hotel around $130 budget/night?
