Travel: China - Hong Kong

[kittybank]

Mid nov should not be too cold right?

[LOLMum]

should be okay, i usually have an umbrella and a jacket. no point letting the kids catch a cold.

I’ll be traveling to HK in early Nov. Appreciate some advice :


1. Which are the 3 or 4 star recommended hotels in Kowloon (pref near to MTR stations)? Also, is there any with family rooms (2 adults + 2 children)?

2. Thinking of visiting Macau on free & easy. Will it be easy to travel around?

3. Anyone has visited Zhuhai (in China) during your HK trips? Is it worth visiting?

1. you can browse asiatravel.com for the hotels; ymca salisbury is a hotel, not a youth hostel, it is relatively cheap and good, if you can get a booking. it is near to tsinshatsui mrt, next to the peninsula, surrounded by nathan road / canton road shopping and eating


2. just go and take a ferry there, one departure every half hour or one hour, the ferry ride is about an hour long; there is ferry terminal at canton road, walking distance from ymca salisbury, i think is 5th floor of the Gateway Building....connected to prince hotel shopping mall, or take from HK side

3. not worth the time and money. zhuhai is actually across the border from macau, similar to shenzhen/luowu (HK)

Hi Micollh


The last time I didnt check in my stroller as I was still using it inside departure hall. I just passed it to the stewardess who stored it away for me.

Over in HK airport the staff will leave the stroller outside (on the sky bridge as you walk out of the aircraft). So no trouble at all.

I kept it with me cos I find easier and faster to move with kid in the stroller at the airports. I was also worried it might get damaged if I checked it in.
