Hi


Anyone stay at Langham, Mongkok before? Worth the money to stay at the hotel?

My friend recommended and said the location is very convenient esp when I gg to have old folks and young children with me. However, I find it on the high side. Still cant decide now.

i'm heading there and will be staying at langham (mongkok) tomorrow i will let you know when i get back

this hotel was highly recommended by friends so going to give it a try.

i am back from hk...langham place not bad quite convenient if you going to those markets and it is next to a big shopping mall so convenient for food and shopping too...from there to ocean park or city gate about 30mins cab ride depend on traffic conditions ... the club L lounge is good ...food and drinks round the clock lolz so overall not bad

Not sure how true about the kids being kidnapped in HK … during my trip to hk, macau, guangzhou and shenzhen with my 10 year old son in Dec, the immigration officials are pretty thorough with the verification of my son and his identity. I guess there must be cases of kids being kidnapped and bought over to china and vice versa using fake identity.


This aside, we had a good time in HK and China.

We went in June 2 yrs ago. It is low season so crowd at DL manageable. But weather is very very hot and humid. We felt it was worse than singapore.

I also find Hong Kong, especially Disneyland very hot when I was in Hong Kong last year June. And I agree that it is much worse than Singapore.

I’m also going in June glad to know it’s low season and DL not that crowded. As for weather can’t be helped. I prefer hot to cold (as in dec) as the kids are less likely to fall mine. Mine are prone to cough and cold.

Actually if you stay indoors most of the time, then no problem. We didn't realize the heat till we are at Disneyland. But Disneyland also have lots of indoor rides and show, just happen that we queued very long under the very hot sun to take photos with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse (I think more than 1 hr - long queue and there are a lot of breaks in between for Mickey and Minnie to rest before they come back to continue the photo taking). We also waited for the outdoor car show in the hot sun longer than expected cause the show started later than indicated. If you skip this 2 and go for more indoor rides and shows, think it will be much better and you may not even feel the heat:) enjoy your trip!

Agree. The worst is not DL but Ocean Park. Mainly outdoor and DH and 2 DSs were literally drench in their own perspiration! DD and I took shelter in the panda enclosure
