Just before you plan your trip to Hong Kong, you'll have to book your accommodation and that's when our article will come in handy ? In our opinion, the best area to stay at is Tsim Sha Tsui or Wan Chai! Two of Hong Kong’s largest mosques and a number of halal eateries are located in these two areas. Plus, both locations are really convenient for tourists. [Find out why Hong Kong is one of the top 18 places you need to visit in 2016!]
Getting around
Travelling around Hong Kong is pretty easy, given how the city is well-connected through a series of Mass Transit Railway (MTR) services that include trains and trams. Though bus services are also available, it takes much longer to get from destination to destination, which is why the MTR is the preferred mode of transport for most. If you're in Hong Kong for a day, opt to buy the MTR Tourist Day Pass, which gives you unlimited rides on all MTR services! #HHWT Tip: Use our code TRAVELHHWT to get $5 off your first purchase on Klook! Staying over the weekend and planning on travelling around? The re-loadable Tourist Octopus Card comes with HK$50 of preloaded credit; you can use it while shopping and dining at discounted rates! Octopus fares are around 5% cheaper than ordinary fares on the MTR, so you'll save both time and money. Purchase these two passes in advance on Klook to enjoy instant confirmation on your bookings plus easy pick up from Hong Kong International Airport! #HHWT Tip: Get from the airport to the heart of the city in less than 25 minutes when you board the Airport Express!
