Hong Kong Trip 2014

Alhamdulillah, our Hong Kong trip was a successful vacation trip. HAHAHA. For the background, kami terbeli (terbeli ke?) flight ticket ke Hong Kong last year during sale by AirAsia. Ticket for 3 persons (2 Adults and 1 Children) RM1,200. Murahkan? Added up few hundreds untuk luggage, meal and hot seat jadi la RM1,600. As for the info, we are travelling with our 3years old kid and disebabkan ada budak kecik, we decided to prolong duration to stay in Hong Kong sebab tak nak rushing sangat. Posting ni untuk sedikit perkongsian pengalaman kami ke Hong Kong last month (January 2014). I will listed all the tips which will definitely menolong korang yang nk ke Hong Kong nanti.

Timeline planning ke Hong Kong

Tip 1: To facilitate plan vacation korang, tgk cuti umum China Mainland sebab kebanyakkan pelancong kat Hong Kong ni dari China tanah besar. Over the weekends memang ramai orang sana, hotel rate pon akan slightly mahal then normal. Tempat2 attractions kat Hong Kong pon penuh dengan org sana. Cuba elakkan pergi masa cuti diorang.

Tip 2: Aku recommend gi masa awal tahun, slightly after New Year Eve sebab cuti sekolah dah habis, christmas dah habis, duit dah habis (HAHAHA). Orang pon dah kurang and weather pon best nk berjalan sebab dingin je. Kami suka cuaca dingin ni sebab nk berjalan selesa, xberpeluh.

Planning Before flying to Hong Kong

1. Kiblat Compas – Buleh beli kat kedai buku agama (aku xpercaya sangat apps dalam smartfon)
2. Makanan segera sebab di Hong Kong susah nk jumpa makanan yang halal
3. Visa to Shenzen/Ghongzhou (kalau ada plan nk ke China) sebab di sana dah xleh nk apply visa
4. Bawak lip balm - cuaca sejuk
5. Baju sejuk – kami beli di Uniqlo kebanyakkannya. Kalau nk beli di HK pon ok, Cuma aku rasa harga xde la jauh beza.
6. Download MRT map dlm smartfon korang siap-siap.
7. Bawak ubat demam,batuk, selsema, travelers kit.
8. Checked whether condition 1 week before fly at http://www.hko.gov.hk/contente.htm supaya dapat prepared suitable clothes nk pakai kat sana nanti.

Useful Tips for Hong Kong Travelers :

1. Time differences di Hong Kong vs Malaysia – sama mcm M’sia cuma siang pendek, malam panjang.
2. Bawak botol kosong – gunanya untuk berwudhuk, buang hadas, air minum sebab air mineral agak mahal di sana.
3. Tissue – Bawak wet tissue untuk tunai hajat dan disposable cover toilet bowl.
4. Masa shopping di Ladies Market atau Temple Street, prepare rate conversion table sebab Hongkie nie rasa offended bila kita keep on calculating depan diorg.
5. Free wifi at MTR Central – so kalau korang memerlukan access internet, lepak di MRT Central dulu
6. Certain hotel di Hong Kong ada provide luggage storage just for HKD10/hour/piece, tapi kena tnya hotel provider ni. Di area MRT Central pon ada Luggage storage area untuk HKD45/piece for 1^st 3-4 Hours. In case korang sampai awal and bilik belum ready, buleh make use of this facility and start journey dulu. Masa tu xder la terbuang menunggu bilik ready.
