3 Day Stop in Hong Kong

[SimonV8ster]

I'm stopping in Hong Kong and have 3 full days there for sight seeing.

Does anybody know where the best place would be to base myself. Need to find some accommodation that suits.

Thanks.

All depends on what sights you have in mind. I’ve visited Hong Kong a few times and have stayed both on the Kowloon side as well as the island and enjoyed both. Kowloon, I stayed at The Peninsula as like you I was only there 3 nights and wanted to make the most of it. The Star Ferry over to the island is basically on your doorstep and you can walk up Nathan Road on an evening and see all the markets which I think I st but Mrs GMan wanted a look. The Marco Polo didn’t look too bad either, just called in for a drink though on the way out of the shopping mall next to it, they had a great rum selection for some reason.

Central I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental which was a great hotel. I was there on business so didn’t do much sightseeing, I was just going from the office to hotel to Lan Kwai Fong to get pissed.

Thanks, booked a place in Kowloon , looks ideal to do a whistle stop tour of Hong Kong !!

Stayed in the Mandarin Oriental last time I was there, which was lovely a few years ago now..still seemed to spend most of my time in Mad Dogs Bar though!
