How would you spend nine days over Singapore & Hong Kong?

[Progressive]

Hello Guys,

Me and the other half are taking a nine day trip during March to Singapore and Hong Kong, travelling from Western Australia. The start and end travel dates are fixed due to flight costs / logistics although the travel date between the two is to be decided.

For those who have visited these places previously, how would you split your time? We were considering four days in Singapore and three days in Hong Kong, albeit with no real logic to the allocation of time.

Would be interested to hear your opinions...

Night safari in Singapore is a must, I'm sure there are a few PHers based over there and will be along to add to this.

4 Days in Singapore.............
Yup night safari is good option.


Depends what your interests are ? History, Food, Sightseeing, Clubbing, ......
Can probably help more with more info.
Where will you be staying ?

I think there's more to see and do in Honkers than Sing (Sorry, XJSJohn!) although, as stated above, the Night Safari's certaily worth doing in Singapore.

I would split to have max 3 days in Singapore, the majority in HK. I'd suggest trips to other islands (Lamma, fast boat to Macau) plus giant buddah (sp?), Stanley, Victoria Peak (night's the best for the illuminated view of HK Central & Kowloon), junk boat trip, etc.

That said, there are a number of PHers in both Sing & Honkers who'll be along to poo-poo the comments so far!

Been awhile since I was last in HK but you should try visiting Ned Kelly's Last Stand it's the oldest pub in Hong Kong and also the oldest Jazz bar in Asia! and the food's not bad either

Singapore: Dinner at Equinox on 69th Floor of Swissotel.

Truly stunning

I would spend a bit more time in Hong Kong, a little bit more to do there....much more of a party place also.

Probably sightseeing, culture, food, drinking. In that order. Not really clobbers at our old(er) age. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep any more coming if you have them!

If you fancy a relaxing day on a beach, Bintan is only a short boat journey from Singapore

If sightseeing is first priority I'd recommend
Singapore River Trip
Singapore Flyer (The big wheel)
Gardens By The Bay
The Asian Civilisation Museum
Nigh Safari
The F1 Pits (free !)
Fort Siloso on Sentosa
The Old Ford Factory

Culture
Walk around Chinatown and Little India
The Marina

Always worth a beer at I-Altitude, Ku Da Te (expensive) or Level 33 at dusk for the view.


Edit - Top Tip - Sign up with Groupon.sg now and you'll get loads of discount vouchers for a lot of this (plus a lot of other crap) but will save you money.
