Hi guys,

I will be going on a 4D3N trip in end Apr 11 and be staying in
Hotel Benito (7 - 7B Cameron Road) in Tsimshatsui (Very near the MTR). Not too sure whether anyone has stayed there b4? It was highly recommended by a friend.

If anyone knows that area well, care to recommend any good food, e.g. Cha Can Teng and shopping which is highly recommended? I mean I can do a rough search but it will be easier for folks who are familiar and quick to point out.

Cheers!

Hong Kong government has a free Wifi, usually around tourist attractions.

Hong Kong airport has free wifi.

Most fastfood restaurants have free wifi

Most MTR has free wifi but signal may be bad

Express buses from airport to city have free wifi onboard

Of you can invest in a prepaid 3G...



Any one knows where I can surf free Wifi or internet in Hong Kong? Starbucks? Mac? Hotel?

Most shops and small restaurants will be closed on those days and some even stay close for up to a week

You may need to pay slightly more for food during CNY and reservation is almost required when dining out during CNY because HKer have the practice of going out as family and friends for meal in restaurants during CNY.

Why do you want to go to HK during CNY? It will be quite dead like Singapore or any Chinese majority city/country.


Cheers

Read somewhere that there are tour agencies in HK where you can get Disneyland tickets at HK$ 262 instead of the usual 350, and also cheper tickets for Ocean Park and Ngong Ping 360.
Anyone can provide the address of the agencies.
Supposed to have counters in the airport right ?
Where exactly is it ?

Give yourself ample time for immigration and custom clearance in HKIA. Are you taking taxi to HKIA? Maybe you should to save some time on traveling.

OP opens at 10am, maybe you can have say 5 hours in OP and set off for HKIA?
