In our 3 days of stay in Hong Kong, I would describe it as a jam-packed city with soaring skyscrapers and multicultural people. It is really one of the most on-the-go cities in the world and I relish the given chance to visit here.
I went here with my sister and two best friends, all for the joy of traveling and also celebrating Paige's birthday week. Credits to Herschel Rivera for the booking and Paige Jason for the directions.
TIP: For currency exchange, I would suggest Sanrys's Money Exchange in Robinson's Galleria. For this trip, I only brought HKD 1,000 (PHP 5,920) for my pocket money.
So here's our 3-day itinerary:
Day 1
Arrived at the Hong Kong airport around 8:30am via Cebu Pacific Airlines(airfare: PHP 3,913.81 round trip ticket). Upon arriving, we bought the octopus card worth HKD 150 ( PHP 888). It is a stored value card you can use to ride the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) and bus in Hong Kong. You can also use this to purchase something in 7 eleven and Mc Donald's. If you didn't consume it all, you can have it refunded and they will deduct HKD 9 to whatever amount you have left.
TIP: Download Airlines Promo App to be updated about the cheapest flights. Better book your tickets early so that you won't have to spend your money all at once.
We rode the bus going to Tsim Sha Tsui, where our inn is located. (Homy Inn, PHP 2,520)
We left our luggage at Homy Inn then had our lunch at Mc Donald's (price range: HKD 32-40).
The Peak Tram
It is reachable by foot in MTR Central. This should not go amiss in your Hong Kong Trip as it offers spectacular views of the city. The downside is the long queue, but nonetheless, this ride was really worth the wait.
Madame Tussauds
The Peak+Madame Tussauds costs HKD 280 (PHP 1,658).
Known for its great wax figures of famous people around the world. It's really interesting how they look alive.
