yes that's the one.

would it be cheaper if i get here in the US?
 3 of us would like to go is it worth the ~750?

It's not cheaper from the US. It's not worth $750 by any stretch of the imagination.

thanks just saw you preemptively answered.

You need a Chinese visa. If you have one already, great. Not worth going though if you plan on getting one just for that.

so what would you recommend for sunday?
guess ill do the JCC buffet (yes eating is my favorite activity)

i thought we were friends...
i did google it before asking to elaborate. i meant what would you recommend doing? from google it seems that for a fellow jew the main attraction would be taking the cable car ride... unless i'm missing something?

Ladies Market you can do whenever you have a few minutes, not worth planning it into schedule in advance IMO.
Ocean Park is a full day trip, we spent a whole Sunday there and didn't cover everything, but most things.
The Peak is very nice, we took an Uber to much higher than where the tram gets to and then walked down, the views up was amazing!

Link to the location where we went at the peak.

I'm a big fan of their hotels

i think i posted some ideas here before

Too much moving

I would suggest intercontinental for drinks
If your adamant about using your night do it
And stay the rest and shangrila or Sheraton

Hotels.
So worth seeing
And the pools
Intercontinental 3rd floor
Peninsula 8th
Ritz 118

might not be 35 pages back...

[davidmal]

Well Done.

Sheraton is not my hotel suggestion
only for those that are in a bind

Intercontinental is my go to Hotel in the area.
But I stopped staying in HK
I usually Land 5am
and leave HK around 6pm to China
or I arrive in HK 9am from China and leave to the airport around 3pm

enough time to give the wife a quick tour of HK
But I don't tour HK anymore.

What changed that you don't tour anymore? Because you've already seen things?

Exactly.
Been there saw that.
Going for over 15 years you lose all interest.

Wow, that's a long time. Anyone'd be board of a place after that long. I just think it's key to clarify that so people don't get the impression there's nothing to see there.

-Ave. of stars- pier
-Intercontinental Hotel (Lobby & 3rd floor pool)
-Peninsula Hotel (Lobby, 8th Floor Pool, Felix Lounge)
-Ritz Carlton Hotel (Lobby, Ozone Bar & 118th Floor Pool)

-Mul Hayam Restaurant at Kehilat Zion

Too much time?

Only if you're trying to make custom clothes.

Should we guess where you've already been to?
