Hi,
A bit of long range planning here. Have read this thread and thought it had some great ideas in it. http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/day-in-hong-kong-8009.html However it is locked now, hence a new one.
Have just booked Mrs 11 and Jnr 11 PER-HKG-JFK next Dec (in J, how nice am I?
). I'll be following a week or so later and unlike them I wish to get the early arriving flight into HKG and the last flight out. It leaves 12 hours in total on the ground but I'll call it 8-10 given 2 x immigration and some lounge time.
I've been to HK a few times so I've done most of the real touristy things but am happy to do a couple again.
Here's my intended things to do:
1. Tim Ho Wan at HKG station for some Dim Sum (usually easy/quick for a solo);
2. Fa Yuen St market (not the Ladies market, but close to them);
3. Sham Shui Po for some gadget shopping and a great Coconut Milk drink.
Optionals for me are:
1. The Peak (did it a few years ago but I think I'll add this one for the fun of it)
2. Nathan Road TST (a few golf shops near The Salisbury)
Questions:
1. Will my Octopus Card I kept from a month ago still be valid when I return;
2. Any other suggested items; and
3. Does anyone have recent experience of the CX Arrivals Lounge looking after their luggage (I'll travel Carry-on only) for that length of time?
Thanks
