Travel Tips:

1. Book flights that arrive early morning and leaves Hongkong late evening to be able to maximize your stay.
2. You may feel uneasy staying at the Chungking Mansion if you are a group of girls. If you opt to stay in Chungking, Learn to ignore the people outside who would insist on offering you stuff.
3. Buy tickets via Klook app or website. They offer discounts and you would not need to fall in line once you arrive at Hongkong's tourist attractions.
4. Always check for the country's temperature prior to preparing clothes for the trip. Climate when we arrived was cold. We visited during the 1st week of February.
