Please advise the places for us to shop as we are a first timer in HongKong. As we are Muslim, is it convenient to find HALAL food there? Thank you
It is easier to find Halal food in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Nanthan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui area. You can choose a hotel there. Here are hotel list. http://www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/hong-kong-hotels.htm

Yes, this hotel has very good location, just in the Tsuen Wan business center. There are some shopping centers around it. On the other hand, the hotel supplies free shuttle bus to Tsim Sha Tsui where you could do shopping freely!

Hello, I'll be going to hongkong with my family during the first half of december, and im most keen in shopping. Will there still be summer clothes being sold during this period of time? Could someone please advise me on where to find summer clothes during this period of time? Thanks ! :D
Most of the department stores in HK have been selling autumn and winter clothes already. So, I'm afraid that you will not find any trendy summers clothes. Just have a try in these large shopping plaza, such as Harbour City, SOGo or Citygate Outlets.

I know there are many wholesale shops located in Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan. You could have a try. Actually, if you would like to purchase clothes in bulk, Shenzhen supplies much better choices and cheaper price. Yes, you could apply for a China visa to mainland China.

It is reported that the temperature will go down around 15C, but not cold at all. You could wear a shirt and thin jacket there. For shopping, I think you could go the Citygate Outlets in Tung Chung, or these shopping plaza located in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, such as Harbour City and Sogo.

Well, it is suggested that you take a ferry to arrive at HK China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. Then, you could use the metro or cab to get to the hotel quickly.
If you take the ferry to HK Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, it is also easy for you to take the metro to reach the Hotel.

Nov. 4,2009 20:18 Mr.Sisley replied:
Not very sure about the cab fare. But, taking metro is also convenient and much cheaper. When you arrive at the terminal of Sheung Wan, you could transfer to the metro on the spot. Firstly arrive at Central and then transfer to the Tsuen Wan Line to get to Prince Edward. Go out from the Exit C2, you could walk to the hotel quickly.
