Beware of this Chinese Herb/Medicine shop in HK
By KWANTC | 10/18/2010 10:30:38 PM
Dear LTHS_22,
As a Hong Kong-er I am really sorry for the mishap which you have encountered.
I wish to offer some advice to those who are coming to HK :
Based on what you said, that is unfair trade practice, this is against the Law in HK. If similar incident comes up again, insist you are not going to pay and call the Police for assistance, a lot of them are on foot-patrol on the streets. The HK Customs & Excise Department is the law enforcement agency responsible for enfocement of trade descriptions and related trade practices. The department operates a 24-hour complaint hotline : (852) 2545 6182, call this number right way.

Itinerary to HK
By KWANTC | 10/18/2010 10:17:56 PM
Dear Christine,
Reserve one day each for Disneyland and Ocean Park, these two places are ideal for your kids, how fortunate they are!!
In the evening after the Ocean Park trip (probably you will take the route 629 bus back to Queensway), go to the Peak, take a taxi and ask the driver to take you to the Peak Tram Garden Road Terminal, the taxi fare should be around 20 - 30 HKD. Then take the Peak Tram for the Peak, there you can have a marvelous view of the famous Victoria Harbour night scene. There are many Chinese and Western restaurants at the Peak, and also Burger King and MacDonalds, no need to worry for the kids.
If you like a little bit of leisure-walking, reserve half day for Cheung Chau, go there in the morning and have lunch there. There you can have a one to two-hour walk, no cars but bikes, have a look of the countryside scenery, and enjoy Chinese-style seafood. Go to Outlying Ferry Pier No. 5 at Central District for the ferry to Cheung Chau. On return to HK Island in the afternoon take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui, the pier is right next to Pier No. 5. Have a little bit of shopping at Tsim Sha Tsui and make sure you are at the promenade before 8 pm to catch the Symphony of HK (exact name not sure, something like that) fireworks and spotlight show. You can also see Bruce Lee at the promenade.
Spend half a day at Wong Tai Sin Shrine. You can have a feel of traditional Chinese custom there, there is also a very beautifful Chinese-style garden, perfect for picture taking. There are shopping arcades next to the Shrine, no need to worry for meal.
Queensway (transfer to Ocean Park), Outlying Island Pier and Wong Tai Sin can all be easily reached by the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), I think the hotel operates shuttle buses between hotel and Tsing Yi MTR station.

A pawn shop in the hustles of old tramway
By FAERIEQUEENE | 7/22/2008 11:38:42 AM
This new attraction in the heart of Wan Chai is a pawn shop in its last incarnation. The urban renewal project in Johnston Road, Wanchai, now houses an art gallery and a restaurant/pub.. The heritage building in colonial style with verandahs, is also located near the former site of the Wedding Card Street, one of the casualities of Wan Chai’s redevelopment.
In the hustles of the tramway, the building is good to take picture with.
The restaurant/pub is however notorious in its service and food quality in relation to its price…
A trendy Chinese restaurant is just opened and yet to be evaluated…
76 Johnston Road, Wan Chai

Hong Kong Sunrise
By DAVEC | 4/14/2007 3:16:22 PM
Should you find yourself in Hong Kong and bored in the early hours then venture down to the front at Kowloon by the Star Ferry terminal and await the sunrise. The early morning sun gives a beautiful glow to the buildings on Hong Kong side and makes a change from the usual tourist photos.

Sik Sik Yuen Garden
By PRAISEHIMANYHOW | 8/2/2005 10:24:18 AM
This sanctuary offers viewers a picturesque Kodak moment in just about every inch of the garden. As an exotic yet traditional Chinese garden, Sik Sik Yuen is full of pavilions, ponds, streams, rocks, bridges, flowers, trees, a corridor, and a man-made waterfall.
The garden is one of two gardens on the Wong Tai Sin Temple Compound. Along with the Sik Sik Yuen Garden, the other features of the Wong Tai Sin Temple include: the triple-arch gate; two terraces; the main altar; the Three Saints Hall; the five geomantic buildings of Bronze Pavilion, Archives Hall, Fountain, Yue Heung Shrine, and Earth Wall; the Unicorn Hall; the Ye Mut Hall; the Fung Ming Hall; and the Nine Dragon Wall Garden.
Lastly, after a leisurely stroll through Sik Sik Yuen, if you enjoy having your fortune told then you can visit the fortune-telling arcade, which also is a part of the Wong Tai Sin Temple complex. Additionally, there are oblation stalls that are in this complex.

Hong Kong Tips
By PEPPERMINT | 12/14/2004 11:58:48 AM
Travelers entering Hong Kong from Mainland China may find there are differences between the two areas.
To enter Hong Kong, Valid passport is a must but visas are not necessary for some countries. Try to find this out before your departure.
CNY can be uses in Hong Kong also. So if you have some extra CNY with you, you don't have to exchange it back to dollars or what's so ever, then exchange it again to HKD.
Better to carry identification certificate or document with you.
Different from Mainland China, tap water here is drinkable.
Work Hours of Government are from 9a.m to 5mfrom Monday to Friday and 9a.m to 1p.m on Saturday. This is different from 5-day system in Mainland China.
Toilets are free of charge. No smoking in public transportation vehicles and certain public places.
Time zone (GMT+8) and voltage (220V) are the same as in Mainland China.
