All branches are practically the same. Tsim Sha Tsui has all these brands.

@commoner

which is the best place to buy cheapest/discounted tickets to OP,Disneyland,Ngong ping? Is it Golden Crown, Taisan or CTS?

Any updated prices to these 3?
'
thanks!

[erleynes@px]

By the way, perfumes are a lot cheaper in HK. I both my Armani Diamond here at regular price and its about 20% cheaper.

Precisely, just want to narrow down the area where to shop. These brands have many branches in the TST area, so any branch will be a good bet to score good deals?

for giordano, i guess better ang citygate. kumbaga, sa tst, buy 1200, get 300 rebate ang discount. pag dumating sa citygate, buy 1000 get 300 rebate.. basta mas mababa ang rebate nila. mas madami din ang goods sa esprit outlet sa citygate kaysa sa china hong kong city and sa mongkok although may kaunting pagkakaiba iba ang mga ito, bought my esprit watch sa tst. wala sya sa mongkok. perfumes, cheapest sa Humpreys corner carnarvon, meron doon puro mga tester. got a cool water 125 Ml tester for only HKD 198. Bossini is cheapest sa china hong kong city although maliit lang sya. cheapest nike, adidas is not along sneaker street, it is in camel paint building in kwun tong.

cheapest lacoste shoes is in citygate, but go to the 9th or 12th floor i think. best place for bargains is in wan chai, where they have some sample shops. also check out the sales at the SOGO at causeway.

Baka may alam kayo na hostel or guesthouse na below HKD300 and rate per night for 2 persons. Sa aug 20 to 25 kami.. mejo tight ang budget eh.. Thanks.

[fritz17]

BTW guys if Nike lang sasadyain niyo sa Citygate Outlet, maddisappoint kayo. Mas maganda pa yung Factory Stores dito sa Pinas.

nalungkot din ako sa pagclose ng Wing Hoi

For those who've just been to HK and stayed at TST area, saan kayo nakapag-exchange?

You can move Ngong Ping to Day 1 or before Disneyland so you can go to Macau on Day 4.

But this will take away all your time for decent shopping. You can still do minor shopping after Ocean Park and after Disneyland. Kung hindi naman talaga shopping habol niyo, then good.

Head to Macau early on Day 4 because it's a weekend and a lot of people go to Macau. Buy roundtrip tickets to be sure. You can get the 9PM or 10PM ferry back to HK. Bring Bonamine kasi maalon sa gabi.

Then after ngong ping deretso na po kami sa The Peak.. Then we will make the Macau trip on Day 4.. Is that ok sir? Thx!!

[mommyMJ]

pwede pala in-town check in for CX, so does it mean pwede kami umalis ng ocean park ng 5pm going to YMCA to pick up our luggages then check in at in-town check in sa kowloon MTR station then airport express??? kahit di kami magmadali at mag dinner na muna kami sa Jordan ay ok lang for 9:40pm flight???

Thanks Commoner!

Punta muna kayo ng hostel pero huwag kayo magtatagal para wala masyang na oras.
