Hong Kong : What to see, do and eat attractions in Hong Kong (HK) 4 days 3 nights tour itenary

Day 1

Reach airport at 2pm

Take airport express (buy from the counter 2 pax group tic cheaper than buying 1 by 1 card from the machine)

Alight at Kowloon (for Kowloon) / Hong Kong station (Hk island)

Assuming Hk island, walk from Hong Kong station to central station and take mtr / taxi to location (approx 1h)

Bathe and settle in, eat a light snack dim sum

Awarded Newsweek 101 best places to eat in the world 

Dinner: Thai food 

Night attraction: the peak 

Day 2- nature's glory 

Start at 8am

Shek O beach - refer to Shek o beach post for details.

Dragon's back - refer to other dragon's back post for more details.

Eat lunch (approx 2pm) 

Tip in HK: Hk often have hearty tea set. If you can eat around 2 or 2.30pm, go for it. Now don't let the name mislead you... It's not just scones and tea. It usually has noodles, drinks and soup - just like lunch, albeit at discounted price at stores. Pricing: instead of hkd60, it can be hkd30 (so you save hkd30, around sgd$6 for each set)

Highly recommended eating spot 

Lazy to walk too much since you have paid your dues?

Take a tram (Hk has fantastic and cheap transport) it costs only hkd2.5 and it's a flat fee. Only pay when alighting. Use an octopus card, just tap and go. This saves you the trouble from finding change and all.

You can just anyhow take a tram and explore the places. The tram goes to places like north point, causeway bay, sheung wan etc

For sheung wan, check out Hollywood road for old school charm. It's also a good place for brunch and chill in the cafe. Happy people watching! Having a good book in help will be awesome too!

Go nuts shopping @ sogo causeway bay if you enjoy. Skincare products are usually cheaper in Hong Kong then Singapore. I would suppose its due to Hk being a tax free city. 

Dinner and party 

Soho @ central to chill and party the night away 

Day 3- museum day 

Breakfast: eat dim sum @ Tim Ho Wan

Favourite outlet near fortress hill (residential area) ; use Olympia plaza and city garden hotel as your landmark. It's opposite a primary school at wharf road.

Weekday - typically no queue; expect queues at weekend 

Go to a history museum to learn more about Hk, art or how about the science centre? They are mainly located at Kowloon. 

Go crazy at the museums and learn something to impress your friends!

Take a star ferry if keen. If not, take mtr. Interchange station at admiralty mtr station.

Enjoy!

Dinner : lee gong guan

Day 4: It's a green green day

It's a day to the gardens. Personally like the one at admiralty. You can just follow the shangrila escalator and you will arrive at Hk park.

There's a free aviary there where you can enjoy the birds, fresh air (wanting in Hk) and just enjoy God's creation!

I know the Hk tourism board promotes the ngong ping 360 and the big Buddha.

But I find it a waste of time, thus I didn't recommend.

As for theme parks... Now, other alternatives for the previous days include theme parks. Choose from ocean park or Disneyland. Have yet to go to Disneyland in Hk.

Note: Ocean park rides are quite scary, so not entirely for kids. 

Most of all, enjoy Hong Kong! :)

Hong Kong - shopping at PRADA outlet and more

Shopping 

1. Prada / Miu Miu outlet at Ap Lei Chau (south horizons)

Prada/Miu Miu Outlet 

2/F, Marina Square, East Commercial Block, 

South Horizons, Aberdeen

(Note: Prada outlet is closed on Mondays!)

Take bus 590A from admiralty bus terminal located at exit D of admiralty station. The bus comes at 15 mins interval on average and starts at 9.35am. Hope that provides some estimation in terms of timing. It costs a mere hkd $5.50 (less than sgd$1) for the ride. It is a flat fee.

The bus ride will pass through the Aberdeen tunnel and is about half-an-hour ride. 

I ❤️ the buses in HK. They are clean and some have free wifi too! So hop on the bus and have some fun admiring HK. Alight at the marina shopping centre. It looks like this. 

When I reached at 1.10pm, I queued for half-an-hour in the afternoon. 

This may be good for a quick fix for those in Asia who want to get Prada. For those who compare this to Asia's retail prices, the outlet is slightly cheaper. However, do not use the Italy outlet mall prices as a benchmark because you will be sorely disappointed.

Here's an example of the range of colours available. Don't worry, there's the classic Nero (black) etc.

Prada wallets in the HK outlet 

Here is an example of price comparison. 

Case study on popular 1m1225 Prada Saffiano wallet

So a 1m1225 is Singapore retails at about sgd$720 if my memory does not fail me. 

It costs hkd$4100 at the Hk airport (note Hk has no duty to start with, even for downtown boutiques). So that works out to be about sgd$680.

The outlet sells 1m1225 wallet at around sgd$600. That's a saving of $120 compared to Sg price.

Hope this gives you a gauge.

As for the bags, well basically there's a lot of nylon bags for sale at the outlet. It costs around sgd$1000. 

Hope this helps!
