Can you suggest how many days should i plan for each of these 3 cities in the 7 days times i am going to spend over there? Would Ferry or MTR be convenient and cost effective way to travel from HK to Macau to Shenzhen? We will be carrying our luggage with us and so, would MTR be convenient for it?
Which are we should choose for hotel in all the 3 cities so that internal city travel becomes easier and less time consuming? We are pure vegetarian, so which area will have veg indian restaurants?
I have more questions, which i can ask after i get clarity on the above questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alfred, check our hong kong food post -http://www.tommyooi.com/must-eat-food-in-hong-kong/
Hey Tommy Ooi..Very well handled blog and queries from visitors to it! It is simple and provides all possible info. Its crisp, and substantially brief. A highly recommended platform for the tourists to that region. It may be a good idea to give informative captions to the pics you use. And also acknowledge where you use pics sent by others, that is if you do use others’ pics.
I’m visiting HK n Macau this Xmas. Any suggestion please where the festivities on the Xmas eve are a must watch in Hong Kong? And if you do entertain guest posting on your blog, please indicate an area/ subject on which I can write.
Thanxs…Your name is as fascinating as your biog! – Subi Nagpal
Hi Subi, i think most commercial area are well decorated with Xmas festive. If you are celebrating new year there, the harbour will have fireworks
I already visited some of the places posted here and its actually good.
Tommy, Your site is of great help…we are planning to go in the first week of May in a group of 4 adults, 2 children aged 12 years and a child aged 5 years…looking for suggestions from you, on accommodation close to the city’s attractions, with easy commuting options, and preferably a holiday rental home with kitchenette… which area would be the best?
Hi Nandini, as long as it is near metro and not too outskirt, it should be fine. Common places are Kowloon, Tsim Tsa Tsui, Jordan, Yau Ma Teh, Central, Wan Chai, North Point
Hi there! Just got back a few days ago from HK and thought I would add a couple of things to this amazing blog. This trip I discovered the museum of Coastal Defence which is such a gem. Located in the Saiwan area, bus 85 takes you to the front door. If wishing to drive, there is 3 hour FREE parking on site! Where would u find that in HK? Spent easily 3 hours there, walking the grounds and also seeing the indoor exhibits. There is also a little cafe with outdoor seating. The sea views are spectacular, watching several eagles swoop down over the water. Another bonus: admission is HKD 20! Half price for seniors over 60.
Hi Chris, thansk for the recommendation. Will visit it on our next trip

Hi Tjioe, those attractions stated on my blogs are the ones they should visit π
Hi, Tommy. I will be at Hongkong for one day on July 2016. I have bought the Peak combo package with Klook and will meet the agent at 4pm @ central station.
Now, I am considering to pay Lanthau island a visit in the morning time. I have checked and the Ngong Ping 360 only starts operating at 10am on weekday. I need your opinion if I go to Ngong Ping at 10am (using 2 ways cable car transport), is it enough time for me to explore all, have my lunch there and be back to Central station before 4pm?
I will travel from hotel (@ Tsim Sha Tsui) to Tung Chung via metro and from Tung Chung to Central via metro as well. Would you kindly let me know how long will the travel time using the metro will take?
Any suggestion or information will help alot. Thank you in advance π
Hi Aurora, yes should be possible, make sure you reach early at 10am for the 1st cable car to maximize your exploration time.

Hi AT, we do have an article on HK food http://www.tommyooi.com/must-eat-food-in-hong-kong/
Great article, thanks for the tips! A dynamic and vibrant cosmopolis, Hong Kong has much to offer. However, there are also quite a number of crooks who target tourists in the country. http://travelscams.org/asia/common-tourist-scams-hong-kong/
Do be wary of the bait and switch scam, overcharging shops, weighing scale scam, shopping tours, fake herbal medicine scam, bad aura/spiritual blessing scam, fake antiques, counterfeit products, art scammers, pickpockets, spiked drinks and many more!

Thanks for this itinerary. I read this article before I went to Hongkong last June and it was really useful. I actually wrote a piece about my experience travelling in HongKong: https://letsgomoja.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/7-things-i-love-about-hong-kong/
Amazing blog with great information. Thanks, dear for sharing this amazing blog with us and keep it up and I will definitely visit these places with my friends
I’ve visited HongKong several times and I really like this place. Especially the surrounding little islands a beautifull for a day visit. And I can recomment a day-trip to Macau (just 1 hour by boat). When you travel in HK by subway (MTR) then perhaps our online subway navigation system might be usefull. It’s not needed to install an app.
