Shopping is great as the smaller shops for clothes & shoes in TST are open until almost mid-nite, the view at the peak was fabulous & clear when I was there. Can go to Ocean Park to see the Panda Bear (open in July'07) & also if you like thrilling rides. Rides in Disney are for kids but atmosphere is still nice, small so half a day is enough. Heard an empty Nong Ping cable car dropped into the mountain. Must eat the little egg cakes along the streets.

well for shopping wise, you shld go to 女人街, 旺角, 尖沙咀。。 For places of interest would be the 海洋公园 n Disneyland. But the Disneyland is really meant for kids, not so much for adults. Only some games appealing for adults. But you can take pics with all the characters and watch the fireworks. IN addition, you shld take the MTR there if possible cos' I heard the chararcters would be on the train as well.. I was with a tour grp the other time so didnt get to take the MTR.

Life is full of ups and downs. But one has to learn how to stand up on his own and continue his path to attaining enlightment...:mellow3: :mellow3:

Some additionals you might want to consider:
1. Lantau Island
2. Causeway Bay, Aberdeen - Lunch on the Floating Jumbo Restaurant
3. Wong Tai Sin Temple (which is accessible by the efficient LRT)
4. Lei Yue Men by Night for seafood
5. Shenzhen (China) - Splendid China and Window of the World (Pls check visa requirements if u/yur partner aren't S'porean)
6. Macau

Have a pleasant trip.

The easiest way to visit Shenzhen is to let some travel agency like China Travels take you in a coach. They require advance reservations. If you are adventurous or would like to have a flexible schedule in Shenzhen, you could travel by yourself. Here are some guidelines:

Money: Chinese currency is Renminbi (RMB). The official exchange rate in May 2007 was 1.00 HKD = 1.02 RMB. Within China, HKD is happily accepted. In fact, the exchange ratio on the streets is 1.00. Taxi drivers and ticket counters at Windows of World and Chinese Folk Culture Villages do not accept credit cards.

Visa and Entry: Take KCR East Rail from Hung Hom in Kowloon to Lo Wu, the last station at the border of Hong Kong and China. The KCR ride takes roughly half an hour. Octopus card can be used for KCR also. The free maps you picked up at the airport show the Hung Hom KCR station clearly.

At Lo Wu, you would have to stand in long lines at Hong Kong immigration counters. Beware of pickpockets! There are signs that warn you of the same. After crossing the Hong Kong immigration counters, you have to walk a little before you reach the Chinese immigration counters. However, to enter China, you first need a visa. (NB> Sporeans do not need a Visa to enter China). A four-day visa for Shenzhen is easily obtained for 100 HKD at the China Visa office in the same building. The visa office opens at 8am. Obtaining a visa takes less than ten minutes. Armed with a visa, you need to stand in another line to cross the Chinese immigration counter. Then, there is a very short line for customs. On the whole, expect a total of 1.0 to 1.5 hours to cross the Hong Kong and Chinese immigration counters.

Transport: Once inside Shenzhen, be careful of your belongings. Plenty of websites warn of petty thieves and pickpockets. There is a big shopping complex right in front of Lo Wu train station. You could either shop, or head for tourist attractions like Windows of the World and Chinese Folk Culture Villages. These attractions are next to each other and are around 15 km away from Lo Wu. The most convenient means of transport are taxis. The best place to take a taxi is Shangri-La Hotel, a very big hotel, clearly visible once you start walking out of Lo Wu. It was in fact a Chinese professor in Hong Kong University who recommended that I walk down to Shangri-La rather than head for the local taxi stands. He said he did not feel comfortable with the local taxi folks despite the fact that he was Chinese!

You *must* have names of destinations written in Chinese to tell taxi drivers where you wish to be taken. At Shangri-La Hotel, ask for local maps and a visiting card that mentions Shangri-La (to show the taxi driver where you'd like to be dropped when returning). A taxi ride from Shangri-La to Chinese Folk Culture Villages is around 15 kms and costs around 50 RMB. Many websites advise that you fix the rate a prior and not use the meter. However, I had no problems with meters.
