Why not you go to the following website and find all the necessary info?Originally posted by winnie^_^:ard hk $200 is sg $40 loh..
oh.. go shenzhen take kcr ah..
mongkok is easily accessible..
thn how abt go shenzhen abt how much?
who is the blur sotong ah?
KCRC (serving Kowloon, New Territories and Lo Wu)
http://www.kcrc.com/html/eng/services/services/east_rail/index.asp
MTR (serving HK Island, Kowloon, Lantau Island, and HK airport)
http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/train/intro.html
Star Ferry (crossing the Victoria Harbour, between HK Island and Kowloon)
http://www.starferry.com.hk/new/en/schedule/index.asp
Anyway when you arrive at the HK airport, don't forget to take a copy of the HK map (free of charge, available at the arrival hall). The map should have detailed street plans of the popular areas (e.g. Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, etc) plus a route map of MTR + KCR. If you're kiasee, invest in a travel guide (Lonely Planet or Rough Guide or Fodor etc) or borrow one in a public library. Make sure the guide book you buy is the newest edition (best published in 2006), because the HK transport system keeps changing and every year they add new stuffs (new stations, new rail lines, new bridges, new tunnels, etc etc)...
Last but not least, the blur sotong normally end up in the frying pan in a store selling snacks. You can find the fried sotong in snacks-shops all around HK (plus smelly bean-curd, pig intestine, curry fishball, siew mai, butter corn, yong tau foo, cheong fun, etc etc etc)

went to hk for honeymoon in oct...so, here goes my 2 cents worth...
wanton noodles are served soup, dun bother with the dry ones...they dun add chilli like in sg, they have chilli oil instead...
shop, shop, shop...most of the shops sell nice and cheap clothes, unless you go to boutiques...places for good bargain like temple st or ladies st (miao jie, nu ren jie/ miu gai, leui yan gai) can find "original imitation stuffs"...most of the peddlers come from mian land china...so they can speak mandarin if you are not really good with cantonese...remember to bargain if you buy in bulk...
to travel on the MTR, you can buy daily pass for HK$50 over the counter if you produce your passport...ask for the tourist daily pass...
apart from the Peak, you can try Repulse Bay, causeway bay, xin guang da dao etc...
also, ask around for the Esprit factory outlet, you'll find lots of bargain since they sell off season clothings...you can find pieces from as low as hk$99 for a polo tee...we rang up bills of almost hk$1500 there...
ermm...that's all for now... -

When are you coming to HK? I just arrived at HK today and the temperature is around 14C. It's expected to drop until 12C this weekend.Originally posted by winnie^_^:is it? but many pple here said it is very cold.. oh my god.. i scared of coldness..

Zhonghuan = Central
Maxim is a company operating fast-food chains, restaurants, bakeries, etc. The Maxim fast-food chain sells rice/noodles set meals and many other HK delicacies... You order and pay first at the cashier. Then you get a ticket and give it to the counter. Minutes later, the counter will announce your order (in Cantonese) and you just collect your food. Other similar fast-food chains are Cafe de Coral and Fairwood.
Maxim restaurants are good places to have Dim Sum. The price may be higher than other restaurants, but the quality of the Dim Sum is very good. (There are many branches all around HK)
I may go to Mongkok tomorrow or on Monday. I will check whether summer clothes are still on sale... (I also want to buy some clothes... haha) -
