L Molander	30 April 2005
Stayed at Metropole Hotel, The - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
The half day tour with guide to Victoria Peak, Stanley Market and Abardeen Village is worth the money, especially if you only have a few days to spend in Hong Kong. Shopping at the night market in Temple Street and a visit to Kowloon Park are also a must.

Stayed at City Garden Hotel Hong Kong - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
Excellent Chinese restaurant (Lei Garden) straight across from the hotel. Intimate Italian place 2 blocks west on Electric Road with EXCELLENT thin crust pizza. Starbucks near there. 5 minute walk to the tram or 10 minutes to MTR. Minutes from Causeway Bay for great shopping. 4 stops on MTR to Convention Centre.
A Darby - 2nd visit	18 April 2005
Stayed at BP International House - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
Hotel is 5 mins from night market. Better shops, Star Ferry, main hotels are 6 mins by taxi. Best buffet is in Royal Garden, 8 mins by taxi. Recommend Cinta J's Indonesian BBQ restaurant for absolutely the best live music and great atmosphere (HK Island Central district). Don't let pushy taxi drivers take you to the airport - insist they take you to the Airport Express rail, cheap and 25 mins only. Station is near hotel.

Stayed at Marco Polo Gateway, The - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
My wife and I just got back from a rather exhausting trip to Guangzhou and needed some R&R time before heading back home. We tucked ourselves in at the Marco Polo Gateway and enjoyed every moment of it. Tsim Sha Shui is every bit a walkers paradise - one can spend hours shopping or simply taking in the feel of thousands of people on the streets. We would reccomend Fat Angelos for Italian food - the ambience is excellent and the portions huge. Stop by your nearest Pacific Coffee for great Java and sinfully good Croissants. Shopping takes it toll- so if you need an extra large bag, try the by-lanes near the Hyatt. We bought two titanic suitcases for about 400 HKD - roughly 60 US - a steal by any standards. Don't miss the Esprit Factory Outlet near the Kowloon Hotel- two floors of great bargain shopping for clothes. If you're in the mood for travelling within HK, use the MTR - HK's subway. It's the fastest, cheapest way of getting around town. Try tube-hopping -getting off at stations at random to explore areas less travelled. You could end up coming away from HK with an entirely different set of memories! Happy Travelling!

Try The Red Pepper in Causeway Bay. Excellent SzeChuan food. Street behind Lee Gardens.

Stayed at Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
In the hotel, would recommend Portal-Work & Play which combines business center, music lounge, seafood counter and internet cafe all tastefully wrapped in one location. In Langham shopping mall, Guangzhou Gardens is a good dining spot for Chinese food with good presentation. Nearby Harmony Bistro in Le Gourmet Grand Tower is very affordable and good.

Stayed at Kowloon Hotel, The - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
The hotel is situated at an excellent location, I took less then 45 minutes to travel from the airport to the hotel in the hotel transfer bus (HK120 per person per trip). Places such as the Art Museum, Cultural Centre, Space Museum etc are just within walking distance. Going to places such as the Ladies' Market, the Wholesale Market, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Ocean Park etc are so convenient as the MTR station is such around the corner. No worries for food as the hotel is surrounded by tonnes of eating houses and resturant. I don't even need a map to find my way back to the hotel after a day's shopping and munching. Please check the weather before travelling, we had a group of travellers who travelled in sleeveless shirts, shorts and mini skirts, it was about 17 degrees celcius when we arrived! Oh, remember to bring lotion or spray for muscel aches and sprain if you intend to shop, as most of the MTR station have lots of stairs (hehehehe). It was a wonderful trip and I am already craving for the next one.

Stayed at YMCA - The Salisbury - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
Enjoyed a delicious dinner at the "Dynasty" restaurant at the New World Renaissance Hotel. Otherwise, explored Hong Kong on our own and found the city easy to navigate and the wonderful free parks a respite from the busy metropolitan life. Would love to come back again to Hong Kong.
B Toronto	31 March 2005
Stayed at YMCA - The Salisbury - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
As a former hong kong resident I visited my favorits spots: oliver's deli counter in the prince's blg (central) and the banana leaf curry house in causeway bay (jaffe road) for lunch. There is a small "prizemart" store in the alleyway close to the "mc'ds" on queens road central. if you are itching for some american brand treats, it is a great little place to visit. A fraction of the cost of similar items in Beijing!!

Stayed at Stanford Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
All public transport excellent and cheap. Hong Kong Tourist Board at Starr Ferry provides bus timetables and maps. Can recommend the restaurant next door to the Curry A La King on the way to Nathan Rd (name translates to Baked Shrimp Head!! ) not far from hotel heading towards Nathan Rd. Shamrock Hotel on Nathan Rd, has Chinese buffet for $50HK (Approx $10 Australian). Highly recommend Stanley for sightseeing and markets, The Land Between Tour booked through HK /tourist Board, Macau day trip, tram ride $2HK when you alight (on HK Island) The PEAK ON A CLEAR DAY. Stanford is close to Delifrance, Pizza Hut, Spaghetti House (great value), Wellcome supermarket downstairs near Pizza Hut. Avoid Hong Kong island on public holidays and Sundays, although the Phillipo's gatherings are a sight to be seen. Highly recommend the high speed train service/taxi to hotel on arrival and the hotel free shuttle bus then train back to airport. Train takes 23minutes with a minimum of fuss. Our entire 14 days was a minimum of fuss. Plenty to see and do.
