Stop over, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur or HK

[gareth h]

Any advice / experience on this? we’re heading out to NZ next year, these are the stop over options (depending on who we fly with). We did Oz a few years ago with a stop in Singapore so want to explore a different city.
Any thoughts?
TIA

We did a 2 night stop over in Hong Kong, was really good, flights were better value also. Interesting place to look around.

Used to do NZ for a couple of months every winter when our daughter was living there, used Cathay Pacific more than others with a 2-3 night stop each way in HK and stayed at the Shangri-La on TST in Kowloon. Have also gone via Dubai or Singapore on Emirates and Singapore Airlines, it's easy to walk around HK and lots of interesting things to see.

Hong Kong is more fun and accessible than the other two. It's a brilliant city to visit for any length of time. Get the train into the Central station and you step out right into the thick of it.

Shanghai is a great city but it's enormous and not easy to find your way around in just a stopover.

KL is nice but there's not much there compared to the other two.


HKIA/Cathay Pacific are miles ahead of the other airline options you have.

We did a cruise starting in KL a couple of years ago and flew out a few days before it started. Would definitely recommend KL, great city, not too big, Petronas Towers visit is worth doing, food is excellent and its all great value. I'd have another few days in KL in a heartbeat.
