Him, micollh, the weather for HK has been 22-27C for the past few days. So, I don't need sweater. If you have small kids and will be traveling to the peak, long pants and a sweater will do. Otherwise, dressing in layers, T-shirt and then a sweater is easier because can remove sweater when you are indoors. Please remember to check the weather before leaving to see if a cold front is approaching. Have fun.

Anyone can advise how much to exchange? 6D5N (2A n 1C)

You only need cash for food at small shops and buying tickets for trams, ferry rides etc. Assuming your family eats all 3 meals outside and snacks too, you may need about $30 - $50 per meal. $100 - 150 a day = $600 - $900 on meals

Add the odds and ends for transportation and entrance fees etc, it's best you change $1500 or more.

The rest of the shopping / restaurants can use credit card. If you rather not use cards, then it really depends on how frugal/ spendthrift you are.[


Thanks!

The reason I like Hung Heung's wife biscuits is that they are freshly packed if you pick from the store. I can't find fresh ones from Weng Wah. Only find their vacuum packed ones only. Fresh taste so much better :). Another biscuit store I like is Kee Wah. I like their walnut and almond cookies. They have great gift packs for buying back for friends too. Enjoy eating in HK!

[starlight1968sg]

Do you mean I can buy weng hua wife biscuits at the duty free shops in HK airport? Would the price be cheaper?

There are weng hua branches near Yau Ma Tei subway which is near my accommodation when I am in HK.
As for Hung Heung wife biscuits, any branches near Yau Ma Tei subway?
Thank-you.
