Hi, planning to go HK in Dec. This is my first time. (2A 1C-6 yrs old). For shopping, which is better? Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay? For shopping will be 1 day is enough as I don't think my girl will enjoy. Main reason going to HK is for my girl. Is 2 full days in Disneyland too much? Ocean Park 1 day is enough right?

Tsim sha tsui is in kowloon

from tsim sha tsui mtr station to causeway bay mtr station is only a couple of minute by mtr

if i were you, i will get up late in tsim sha tsui, have a leisurely brunch (avoid the lunch time office crowd) in one of their cha-chan-ting, shop around tsim sha tsui after brunch, put shopping back to hotel room, then head to causeway bay, and by evening take the tram to the Peak, have dinner there, enjoy the sunset view and nite view, then head back to hotel

can't advise on DL & OP, i have never been there though i go HK every month

Thanks for your reply. Any recommend on the hotel which is near to mtr and shopping area? Just in case, my girl is tired then can go back hotel to rest.

you don't need 2 full days at disneyland if it is off-peak, but advisable to spread your visit over 2 days since your girl is 6 yr old and for more relaxing trip. there is an outlet mall just 1 train station away, so if mummy gets bored :evil:

Ocean park 1 day is enough. Don't forget the pandas

for us 1 day shopping in hong kong is NEVER enough.
