Hong Kong and Macau 3 Days and 2 Nights Itinerary
Here is the detailed 3 days and two nights itinerary we had during our recent trip to Hong Kong and Macau:
Day 1 – Hong Kong (Lantau Island Tour, Hong Kong Disneyland)
- 3:40 AM – Check-in at Ninoy Aquino International Airport – Terminal 3
- Breakfast at the terminal
- 5:40 AM - Manila to Hong Kong Flight via Cebu Pacific (5J108)
Sunrise during the Early Morning Flight to Kong Kong
- 7:40 AM – Arrival at Hong Kong International Airport
- Go through Immigrations Hall (we waited in line for around 1 hour because of the long queue, so be sure to rush ahead of the other passengers immediately after arrival)
Hong Kong International Airport
-
- Exchange currency to Hong Kong Dollars
- Visit Hong Kong Tourism Board Visitor Information Services for maps and brochures
- Claim Hong Kong MTR Airport Express Travel Pass (bought online)
- 9:00 AM – Transport to Wing Sing Hotel in Yau Ma Tei
- We actually rode the Airport Express MTR to Kowloon MTR Station and then rode a bus (I already forgot the number) to Jordan MTR Station , which is one station away from Yau Ma Tei MTR Station . We travelled light, so it wasn’t much of a hassle carrying our baggage around.
- If you have light baggage, you could also take the airport express line all the way to Hong Kong Station and then switch to the Tsuen Wan MTR (red) line in Central Station. Drop off at Yau Ma Tei Station.
- Use Exit C at Yau Ma Tei MTR Station and walk to Wing Sing Hotel (2 blocks away)

- Walk to Central MTR Station to switch to Tsuen Wan (red) line
- Drop off at Yau Ma Tei MTR Station
- 10:30 PM – Shopping at Temple Street night market
- Temple Street is just found outside Wing Sing Hotel, so it’s pretty convenient if you want to do a little shopping and go back to your hotel room to call it a night
- Dinner
- You can buy a AC socket adaptor converter thinggy in Temple Street for HKD 5-10. Hong Kong Island mostly uses 220 volts, which is the same in the Philippines, so you can safely use your chargers/electronics but the shape of their plug is “the big T plug” one, not the the “2 parallel line plug” that we use (excuse my ignorance of electronic terms).

Day 2 – Hong Kong (Star Ferry Ride, Victoria Peak Tour, Ocean Park, Ladies Night Market)

Walking to the Peak Tram lower terminus
-
- This is a difficult part. Make sure you have a map with you so you don’t get lost. What we did was to orient ourselves with some landmarks along the way, so it will be easier to find the lower terminus. Just be mindful that it is just very near St. John’s Cathedral. If you think you’re getting lost or don’t know where you’re going just ask around for directions, there are a LOT of Filipinos in this area, especially on Sundays.

7 hours in Disneyland? I think that’s not enough.. hehe..
11 November 2009 at 5:07 pm #
thanks guys … more pictures to come soon!
@Rex: Yeah, we spent 7 hours in Disneyland and didn’t get to see everything. Actually, the only thing I was excited about in Disneyland the fireworks display, so it didn’t bother me that much. The Disneyland is more for young kids. Ocean Park was more exciting for me and I wish we woke up earlier so that we could have spent more time there.
… Two days is so not enough to experience Hong Kong

23 November 2009 at 2:59 pm #
hey daisy. There were four of us during our trip and the expenses posted here were based from that … though, the only expense that we shared was the hotel. I posted a summary of our Hong Kong and Macau expenses here.
25 November 2009 at 11:28 am #
Php 21,126.74 per person << medyo expensive na ito..
cheaper if you were able to avail of the P1.00 fare of cebu pacific…
and there are lots of freebies in macau na di nyo yata na-discover hehe… you can even avail of complimentary ferry ride from HK-macau-HK for free… also sandwiches and drinks like bottled water is free sa mga casinos, no need to buy from 7-11. there are also eat-all-you-can buffet for MOP 50.00 (around P250.00+) sa mga casino restos.

wat is mtr? bus or train?tnx
25 November 2009 at 4:41 pm #
Missy: MTR is Hong Kong’s railway (train/sunway) system
Demonoid: Oo nga, and we could have just skipped Madame Tussauds while we’re at it. Cool, really helpful talaga yang tip sa mga naga plan to go to Macau.
25 November 2009 at 8:48 pm #
the food is quite expensive nga lang sa HK… for example a 2-pc chicken value meal sa KFC (without rice ’cause they dont serve it even sa McDo) would cost you around HK$ 29-32 so I chose other restos instead na may rice like Coral Garden, same lang naman ang price nila but mas mabubusog ka.
i remember when i went alone sa HK disneyland last chinese new year because yung kasama ko attended a seminar so i explored disneyland on my own hehe… there were so many (as in marami) domestic helpers there because they were given 3 days holiday ng kanilang employers, they were so excited and I happen to meet some of them na taga iloilo and negros.. they were bringing with them foods and coffee like going to a picnic, they invited me in so naki-join na rin ako sa kainan nila as in pakapalan na talaga hehehe so i was able to eat valenciana with them in disneyland.

Mas expensive nga compared sa mga fastfood dito sa Pinas especially sa mga theme parks like Disneyland and Ocean Park. We also bought ba-on when we went to these theme parks, we would buy McDo in downtown HK and then just bring them. We also tried eating in the canteens/restaurants of the theme parks, the food wasn’t anything special and were overpriced.
When we went there marami din mga Pinoy

Hi chymera00, thanks so much for the useful tips you posted here. We will be in HK by Dec 22 and we would like to follow your itinerary.. BTW, is the ariport express tkt valid for 1 wk coz we plan to use it in our return trip to Airport.. we want to take bus to the city from the airport then use the express tkt in going back.. again thanks so much and also is CEbu PAc terminal located in TERM 1 or is it TERM 2.. from MAP
14 December 2009 at 9:47 pm #
the Airport Express Tourist Travel Pass is only valid for three consecutive days of use. It’s a good idea to that you decided take the airport express for your return flight since it’s convenient (and you won’t be worrying about missing your plane). I suggest taking the Tourist Travel Pass on the last three days of your trip … or you could just buy a one way ticket in the travel express (without the 3 day unlimited pass).
Here are some pages that will help you out:

Thanks for the infos. Will be planning to go this jan and follow your itinerary. By the way, how do you achieved those beautiful pictures like the fireworks display? I have nikon d40 and i am new in photography and i want to photograph the display when we go there. Thanks.

hi marcos,
i found your itinerary very helpful. We’re visiting HK this february and your info does help.
got some questions, regarding star ferry, do they follow their schedule found http://www.starferry.com.hk/services.html?
i noticed in your post you took a 10:30am star ferry ride from tsim sha tsui to central pier but based on the link there is no 10:30 schedule for Tsim Sha Tsui/Central service… am i missing something?
thanks in advance,
girlie
12 January 2010 at 6:04 pm #
We did the starferry ride during the weekend. I think they strictly follow their schedule.
If you look to the schedule posted in their website carefully. You will notice a time range and a corresponding frequency. The time range posted there is not the expected time of departure and arrival. Rather it shows the frequency of trips for that time range.
For example
Based on the schedule posted
(On a saturday) From 7:15am – 10:40pm, there will be a starferry boat leaving the pier every 6/8 minutes and from 10:30 – 11:30 pm, it slows down to every 10/12 minutes etc….
The whole Starferry ride from Tsim Sha Tsi to Central only lasts for around 10 minutes.

got it! thanks a lot!
15 January 2010 at 4:29 pm #
hi again!
i was wondering if from Tung Chung MTR going to Lantau island, could we just take a bus instead of the Ngong Ping cable car ride?
thanks in advance
15 January 2010 at 8:36 pm #
yes, there are buses available but I forgot what number. The bus terminal in Tung Chung is just near the MTR Exit.
29 January 2010 at 4:23 pm #

whoa! your comment is very much appreciated too. I’m glad I was of help to you and your group during your trip. I hope I can travel to other places naman in South East Asia so that I can make more itineraries kaso walang budget pa ngayun.
During the trip I got my mem card full as well. I think I got like 16GB worth of pictures, lol. Most of them were useless pero bihira lng maka go out of the country, so sinulit ko nlng

Hi. i find ur website so helpful.. We plan to go to Hong Kong this April.. Unfortunately, we were not able to avail the low fare of Cebu Pacific.. Anyway, I juz want to ask regarding ur total expenses.. u mentione above the following:
