Hi we are going to Hongkong on Dec 2-5.. which hotel is nearer Tsim Sha Tsui? Bridal tea house, You ma tei or DORSETT SEAVIEW? ... which is nearer the shopping area?
Also where can we buy 2nd hand gadgets like dslr cameras and psp? Thanks
Nov. 18,2009 04:13
Mr.Herman replied:
The distance from these two hotels to Tsim Sha Tsui is almost the same, so both are ok. But, the Dorsett Seaview is much closer to the Jade Market and the Temple Street Night Market. The Bridal Tea House is closer to the Ladies Market and the electronic products market in Mong Kok.
Nov. 18,2009 21:59
Ms.Sisley replied:
As I know, the Bridal Tea Hourse, You Ma Tei is almost at the same place with the Dorsett Seaview. Both of them are close to the Temple Street and the Tin Hau Temple.

Ms.Sisley replied:
1. Both are ok. Here are details:
Taking the Airport Express (HKD90&20 minutes) to Kowloon and then take the free bus K2 here to Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel, where the Ocean Terminal is just located.
Taking A21 (HKD33&1 hour)and get off at the Middle Road, Nathan Road. Then, you could walk to the Ocean Terminal in 10 minutes.
2. The ferry between Hong Kong and Macau are frequently so you could catch one at anytime. Where is your hotel? It is suggested that you return to Hong Kong earlier if your hotel is far from the ferry terminal and the airport. Here, you could book a ferry ticket in advance: http://www.turbojet.com.hk/eng/home/index.asp
On the other hand, you could check-in your luggage at Kowloon station of the Airport Express in advance. Here is the details: http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/airport_express/complom_checkin.html

Hello;
We are two adults and three children. May I know
1) From airport to 香港日航酒店(Nikko Hong Kong Hotel) located at 香港市油尖旺尖沙嘴东部 麽地道72号?
2) From hotel to Ocean Park
3) From hotel to Shenzhen (our hotel at Shenzhen is located at 深圳市南山区华侨城光侨街3-5号?
Could we find food around hotel (we will be there around 7PM)?
Thanks!

Mr.Herman replied:
1. you could hire a cab from Hong Kong Airport to arrive at the hotel directly. The fare is about HKD300.
For a cheaper one, you could take the bus A21 at the airport and then get off at the 16th station called Mody Road, Chatham Road South. Then, walk along the Mody Road eastwards, you could arrive at the hotel easily. The bus fare HKD33/adult and HKD16.5/child.
2. Firstly, please take a cab from the hotel to get to the Star Ferry Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui. Then, take a ferry to the Pier 7 at Central. Just at the Man Kwong Street in front of Pier 7, you could take the bus 629 to get to the Ocean Park directly.
For easier but more expensive, you could hire a cab arriving at the exit B of Admiralty station, Hong Kong Island firstly. And then, take the bus 629 here to the park.
3. you could walk to Hung Hom KCR East Railway firstly in 5 minutes, and then take it to Luohu Port. Go through the Port, you could hire a cab of Shenzhen driving to the hotel directly. Alternatively, you could take the subway at Luohu Port and then get off at Huaqiaocheng station. The Hotel is just located at Exit A.
4. It is easy to find a restaurant around the hotel. You could ask the hotel staff to recommend one when you arrive there.

To your questions, Ms. Crystal:
1. Take bus A21 at Airport (Ground Transportaion Centre) Bus Terminus and get off at Middle Road, walk one minutes to your hotel: Bus fare: 33HKD
2. Use Hong Kong MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui - Lai King - Sunny Bay - Disney Special Line to the park, fare: 18HKD
3. Take MTR to Admiralty (8.5HKD for just one stop), then change to Bus 629 to the Ocean Park directly, bus fare: 10.6HKD
4. Walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station to Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR Station (they have underground passage connected). Take metro one stop to Hung Hom, ticket: 4.5HKD. Then change to East Rail to Lo Wu, ticket fare: 33HKD. Pass the border, you are in Lo Wu district of Shenzhen.
5. Take metro to Sheung Wan (8.5HKD for 3 stops). Go upstairs to find the ferry piers of HK-Macay Ferry Terminal to Macau.
Cheap food: get to Yau Ma Tei area, food in Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay and Wan Chai area are not expensive

We are arriving Hongkong Airport on Jan. !3, 2009. We are booked at Metropark Kowloon Hotel. What kind of transportation can we take? We are a small group of 8, 2 children including. Also, we are going to Disneyland. How can we reach there from Metropark? Please give me details on fares. THANK YOU...

Mr.Shan replied:
The fastest way is taking the Airport Express to get to Kowloon firstly. It is HKD90/ault and a half/child (2~12). At kowloon station, you could take the free bus K5 to reach the hotel directly. Well, the cost should be almost the same with hiring two cabs from the airport driving to the Hotel directly.
From Metropark, you could use the metro to get to Disneyland easily. Please take the metro at Mong Kok and then transfer to Tung Chung Line at Lai King. Finally, transfer to Dinseyland Resort Line at Sunny Bay. The fare is HKD18/adult and HKD9/child.
