Trip to Macau - Get the ticket from Ferry Terminal (that why I recommend to stay at Royal Pacific Hotel, cos getting the ticket is just at the basement, do remember to bring along your passport when you purchase your ticket, you can get 1 way or 2 ways, but be prepared if you get 1 way, in case return late at night, it gonna to be crowded, then you may have to...)
- @ Macau, you may travel via public bus to visit places of interest :
- Ferry Terminal #10, 10A, 10B, 12
- Famous Ruins of St. Paul's #17, 18, 19
- Senado Square #10, 10A, 11, 18, 19, 21, 21A

- Kum Iam Status #12, 17, 23
Trip to Shenzhen :
Arrive at Lo Wu, Immigration Clearance - Luohu Checkpoint, pls complete "Declaration of Health Form & white card (get from the custom, some custom officer quite rude, "ren" ok.
(white card similar while we travel to JB also must complete ya). (Very crowded and usually a lot of "uncle or aunty" with big "tai ru" bags or whatever "items" to cross over to Shenzhen or vice versa.
Once you are over...beware of your belongings...look out for direction to travel via Metro Line to places of interest...shopping there nothing fantastic...
The ticket price of Shenzhen Metro is calculated by section. The starting price is RMB2.00 Metrol Line 1 is from Luohu Station to Window of the World Station, and the ticket for the whole journey is RMB5.00
Metrol Line No. 1 -
Luohu---International Trade Centre---Old Street---Garden Theater---Science Hall---Huaqiang Road---Gangxia---Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre---Shopping Park---Honey Lake---Cheong Temple---Zhuzilin---Overseas Chinese Town---Window of the World.
Must visit :
Happy Valley - The large scale high tech modern theme park comprises two parts : theme paradise and happy line
Window of the World - slogan "Give me a day and we will show you a splendid world.
The park assembles 130 world wonders and is divided into eight areas : World Square, the Area of Asia, Ocenia, Europe, Africa, America, World Sculptures Garden and International Street.
Splendid China-China Folk Culture Villages : 100 spots arranged according to their position in China
Seaside Tours - Dameisha and Xiaomeisha - Beaches Park - tope eight scenic spots. The sand is white, fine and smooth, known as "Oriental Hawaii" ideal destination for summer.
Along the journey, while return to HongKong, do make a stop at Metrol Line - "Old Street", if you want to try a massage at some famous Hotel (decent, worth trying, children also can have a fun-filled day there) or spend a night (which include overnight stay with massage).
Be prepared if you return during the day...crowded, at all times, avoid weekend. If possible return after 10pm...lesser crowd, easy to clear the custom.
Trip to Disneyland Resort :
Take Tung Chung Line (orange colour), last stop is Tung Chung, just before the last stop, alight at "Sunny Bay" change to Disneyline Line (pink colour)
If at Central (red line), must change at "Lai King" to Sunny Bay (orange colour) or walk & take from HongKong Station (orange line) and alight at Sunny Bay
to change to Disneyline Line (pink colour).
If you have been to Japan (Tokyo) or America (LA), HK Disneyland is not something different, maybe quite boring and rides are nothing fantastic and limited. Do stay until 7pm, cos of the firework everynights. Both the hotels (Disneyland and Hollywoods), rates are quite deep. If wants to stay for a night or 2, would recommend 1 night at Hollywood and 1 night at Disneyland. Do it on the last 2 days, and ensure that you'll not travel back to HongKong or Kowloon Island, cos it is quite near to Airport.

Trip to Disneyland Resort :
Take Tung Chung Line (orange colour), last stop is Tung Chung, just before the last stop, alight at "Sunny Bay" change to Disneyline Line (pink colour)
If at Central (red line), must change at "Lai King" to Sunny Bay (orange colour) or walk & take from HongKong Station (orange line) and alight at Sunny Bay
to change to Disneyline Line (pink colour).
If you have been to Japan (Tokyo) or America (LA), HK Disneyland is not something different, maybe quite boring and rides are nothing fantastic and limited. Do stay until 7pm, cos of the firework everynights. Both the hotels (Disneyland and Hollywoods), rates are quite deep. If wants to stay for a night or 2, would recommend 1 night at Hollywood and 1 night at Disneyland. Do it on the last 2 days, and ensure that you'll not travel back to HongKong or Kowloon Island, cos it is quite near to Airport.

Just came back from HK.
Remember to get the ticket for the ocean park and the tram to victoria peak at the hk airport. Its cheaper. The counter to get the ticket is just next 2 counter selling the MTR cards.
Update: The ticket for the tram ride+mdm tussuad wax museum+sky terrance has increase to HK$155. Used to be HK$140.
Hope it helps!
