An unusual trip!! - 8D7N Hong Kong& Macau travel guide: itinerary & tips
These few weeks I was thinking of compiling all my travel story and itinerary into my blog. Main reason for this thought is because of my forgetfulness.
I can't deny the truth that without recording my memory in my blog, I will gradually forget all the hard work I had done for planning my travel.
So, I start my post with my trip to Hong Kong and Macau. ( Memory flashing....... )
One of the special thing about my itinerary is no arrangement to theme park or Disneyland. If you are keen in visiting the Ocean Park or Disneyland in Hong Kong, you may spare few more day for this 2 themepark .
Here's my 6D5N itineraries:
Day 1 : Arrived Hong Kong International Airport -->Check in --> Mongkok
- From Airport to Mongkok, it took about 1 hour plus bus journey, which consider the cheapest, but in the same time time consuming transport choice. I prefer airport bus more than the airport train.
- I stayed around Mongkok, which the room space is very small ( Well, every inch of the land of Hong Kong is so precious )
- Mongkok at night is very happening. A lots of youngster mingled around and enjoy their night after work.

Day 2 : Hong Kong Museum of History-->Tsim Sha Tsui --> 1881 Heritage --> Promenade
- Walking around Tsim Sha Tsui area, with lots of shopping mall and high storey of building. Easy to get lost, but in the same time, I enjoyed hopping around shopping mall, to get myself cool ( I went during hot summer season) and using the shopping mall to recognise my location.
Day 3 : Central Region: Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum --> Victoria Peak --> Wan Chai
- Central region of Hong Kong is the opposite of Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok, which is divide by a river, can be connected by various public transports.
- To reach Victoria Peak , There are various public transport to choose. ( I know this after the trip) Personally I chose Tram, which is the most well known by the tourist.
Day 4 : Ferry to Macau --> Senado Square --> Ruin of St Paul --> Fortaleza do Monte --> Casino hopping
-Most of the big casino in Macau have free shuttle bus, either from Ferry terminal, Airport to the casino. You can save transportation fees by using the free shuttle bus wisely.
Day 5 : Taipa --> The Venetian Macau
- Macau divides into 4 parts. Most of the attractions are located in Macau Peninsula. Well , don't forget another 3 parts of Macau, especially Taipa. It is the island south of the peninsula, accessible via three bridges.
-Don't miss the Taipa village, you will find a lot of hidden gem when you walk around the narrow street.
Day 6 : Macau Fisherman's Wharf -->Nam Van Lake --> Ferry back to Hong Kong --> Western Market (Sheung Wan) --> Causeway Bay
Day 7 : Ngong Ping --> Lantau Island --> Tai O Fishing Village
- If you have more days in Hong Kong, do come to this part of Hong Kong, which you will find the laid back side compare to our normal busy impression of Hong Kong.
- Highly recommend Tai O Fishing Village, which is a quaint and picturesque village, with the traditional stilt houses predominant of the old Southern Chinese fishing villages. Great place to find dried seafood.
Day 8 : Depart from Hong Kong International Airport
- Well, I really spent more day than others in Hong Kong and Macau, some more without visiting any themepark. I really enjoy the food in Hong Kong and Macau, even it's really more expensive with higher living expense.
- Eating dim sum is something a must when you visit Hong Kong. Almost everyday in Hong Kong I have dim sum and I enjoy it.
Date visited : 20th -27th August 2016
Disclaimer: My Hong Kong/Macau vacation is NOT a sponsored trip. I paid for all expense of trip.
