After exploring few of the best tourist destinations in our country, I had dreamt of exploring other countries. I look forward to achieving my travel goals: know what and how other countries look like, how do their foods taste and know more about their culture. As a beginner, I'd like to start somewhere near and convenient to go to. Hong Kong was the best fit for me as my first out of the country travel - it's near (less than 2 hours of flight), convenient (transportation thru trains interconnected) and magical (it's a must that you should be greeted "Have a magical day!" in Disneyland).
I made a list below that may guide you just in case you have plans of travelling to Hong Kong.
MUST VISITS PLACES:
1. DISNEYLAND
How to get there:
By MTR, from Tsim Sha Stui Station ride a train bound to Tsuen Wan Station and get off to Lai King Station. In Lai King Station, ride a train again bound to Tung Chung Station and alight to Sunny Bay Station going to Disneyland Resort.
2. PEAK TRAM TOUR
How to get there:
By MTR, from Chungking Mansion walk around 5 minutes toward to Tsim Sha Tsui Station. In Tsim Sha Tsui Station, ride a train bound to Central Station. If you avail your tour voucher in Klook, meet your guide at Central Station exit K (street level). Look your guide who will be holding a 'KLOOK' sign 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.
3. NGONG PING 360, CABLE CAR
Standard Cabin
Ngong Ping Village
How to get there:
By MTR, just a train going to Tung Chung Station then exit B. The cable car terminal is located adjacent to the station. By bus to Tung Chung you can ride with the sign of E11, E21, E23, E31, E32, E33, E34, E41, E42, 1R, S1, S2, S21 or S23. If you get your voucher in KLOOK, it is inclusive of : (Rountrip ride in standard cabin, Free visits to the Tian Tan Buddha, Polin Monastery and the Wisdom Trail.) For Php 1,088.00
4. NIGHT MARKET
Located near Jordan Station, best place to buy souvenirs. The price is quite cheaper than day time, plus you can still haggle. Also, there are a lot of food stalls where you can eat in cheap price if you get hungry.
5. SNEAKERS STREET
Located near in Mongkok Station. In Hongkong, this is the best Sneakers Store with the cheapest price. The Sneakers Street is along Argyle to Dundas Street. It is a heaven for a sports shoes lover.
Brands that can be found there: Nike, Converse, Adiddas, Reebok, Sperry, New Balance, Puma and many more.
6. GARDEN OF THE STARS
7. HONG KONG HARBOUR
8. AVENUE OF STARS
Garden of the Stars, Hong Kong Harbour and Avenue of Stars are just walking distance from our hotel Chungking Mansion.

You can use the card in MTR, buying foods and many more. This card serves as your wallet. If you prefer to ride bus, this is a must because the bus drivers will not give you change. Unless you can pay the exact amount of fare every time.
