hihi
Just came back from Disneyland
We fly via Tigerair to Shenzhen, cross over to HK for day trip.
From the port Luo Hu to HK Disneyland, via double decker bus then train was a great experience, along the bus route, you get to see the Tsing Ma Bridge and the many sights of buildings.
Disneyland was great as usual, they added some new sights as compared to 2 years ago when I last went. but it rained and we paid $50+ for a umbrella and a raincoat...
So, pls bring your small umbrella and disposable raincoats for kids.
Park tickets can buy at site. Do hold on to your kids tightly, there has been recent cases of children lost in there and never found.
Shopping in HK, forget it unless you want branded stuff. The things are way too ex there, that's also why we stayed in Shenzhen. The food, hotel is cheap, the shopping is cheap. Massage is cheap, cost $20 for a 1hr foot massage, 2 hrs full body massage. Pedicure/Manicure $4. We had seafood dinner that has the lobster sashimi, elephant trunk sashimi, roast goose, fish, vege, double boiled soup, all for $200 SGD.
The stuff you get in HongKong all comes from Shenzhen, you see HK store owners talking to the SZ owners abt replenishing goods, which are sellable etc. 2 years ago, I stayed in HK, saw a pair of shoes, seller charged HKD 500 before bargaining. I crossed over to Shenzhen, same pair of shoe, RMB 280 before bargaining, and in the end, I got it for 50RMB.
Children's clothes shoes are fraction of the price you pay in Singapore. But must BARGAIN real hard. We go by 1/3 rule, they tell you the price RMB 100, you tell them RMB30, cannot? Walk away. Chances are next shop sells the same thing. If they ask you to go back into the shop, you get it at RMB 30. If they dun ask you back, means that thing will cost more than RMB30, so you go another shop and tell them RMB 40.
