Our HK Itinerary

Like what I told a forummer, Hong Kong to me is something akin to lost-and-found. I went there thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it, and that I just went there for the sake of my kid and my parents, but to my surprise, I enjoyed it alot. Alot better than when I went to Taipei.

To be fair, I did a more detailed research on Hong Kong, especially where food is concerned, and I was more experienced when it comes to planning an F&E trip to a small country the second time round.

Our actual itinerary was quite different from my planned one.

My planned itinerary included trips to trying out all the recommended eats, but it turned out that my family members were not keen to go places to try the food out. And they woke up kinda late. I planned that we would wake up at 8am and set off to our designated places by 9am but oftentimes, my family members woke up at 10am and we would be on our way only by 11am earliest!

Thank you for your very informative blog. I actually booked a room at Cityview for my family. The hotel was good, decent and clean, but most of all, it was so conveniently located to the MTR station. Thanks!

You are welcome! It's always a pleasure and excitement to know someone has benefitted from my blog just like how others' blogs have benefitted me :)

Oh yes, the hotel is indeed very conveniently located, but the last I checked, the rates have gone up. I probably have to source for another hotel if I ever return to HK!
