DAY 1

-We arrived at Hongkong International Airport around noon. At the airport we got some map;
change our USD for Hongkong Dollars and buy Octopus Card for our transport. There’s a tourism
booth at the airport, so feel free to ask when you need some guidance.

-Took a bus going to Tsim Sha Tsui for our Hotel. We decided to stay at Tsim Sha Tsui because it is
near to most of the tourist attractions, near the Train Station and there many budget places to stay in
this area. (Please see the list of Hotels, apartelles at Tsim Sha Tsui below)

-Check-In at Chunking Mansion. During our visit, we stayed at Chunking Mansion at Nathan Road,
Tsim Sha Tsui. There are many hostels, apartelles in this area at a very affordable price.

-Lunch at Chunking Mansion. There are small eateries at the ground level of Chunking Mansion.
There are also many restaurants nearby.

-After our lunch, we decided to visit some tourist attractions nearby. Below are the places we
visited.These attractions are just a walking distance from Chunking Mansion: Museum of Art,
Space Museum, Avenue of Stars, Nathan Road

Must read:

 Tsim Sha Tsui

 Hongkong Space Museum
 Hongkong Space Museum and Avenue of Stars
 Nathan Road
-Temple Street/Men’s Night Market. This place is still at Tsim Sha Tsui. We decided to have this as
our last destination before we went back to our hotel for our dinner and rest.

DAY 2

Disneyland. We dedicate the whole day for Disneyland. For those who have kids may opt to visit
the park for 2 consecutive days as it is quite difficult to complete the park in just 1 visit. Make sure
to leave your hotel early in the morning so that you can enter the park the moment it opens for that
day.

DAY 3

Our third day in Hongkong was intended for Lantau Island. Instead of taking the bus, we decided to
take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car for a different experience.

After our Lantau Tour which we completed at about 3 PM. We decided to visit Ladies’ Market (part
1). Of course, we wanted to have a shopping spree despite our tiring Lantau Adventure.

DAY 4

Our Day 4 was spent at the main Hongkong island.From Tsim Sha Tsui we took the Star Ferry.
Upon arrival at Hongkong Island, we proceeded immediately to visit the Victoria Peak, then
proceed to the Ocean Park to spend the rest of the afternoon. When we came back we stayed at
Victoria Harbour in Kowloon to witness the spectacular Symphony of Lights.

DAY 5
We decided to have a day trip to Macau on our last day. That was 6 PM when we came back and we
decided to go back to the ladies Market for more shopping for the last time.
