Tips To Make Your Trip Pocket-Friendly

  • For hotels, air travel, book the tickets and for places like Disney land make your booking in advance if possible. The changes are that you may get good discounted deals.
  • Walking – because the city has a great space for pedestrians and a large number of people walk in the city. It would be great if you want to explore the city’s lively streets.
  • Restaurants can be expensive – but there are places which do offer great food in your budget. Try Dai Pai Pong – street side restaurants offering great local delicacies which won’t hurt your pocket.
  • City metro train – In Hong Kong, MTR will become your best friend for traveling around the city. If you’re not traveling big distances – we suggest you prefer city buses – which are the cheapest travel mode out here. For more discount, you can also get your travel passes which allows you to travel back and forth on MTR or city buses in a very inexpensive way.
  • Staying in city hotels can be a big thing – but if good research is done by you then you may just get lucky and find nice guest houses in the range of INR 2000 – INR 4000.

Try to travel in the off-season. Hong Kong basically has a pleasant climate all around, but still, the months of October to December are best because during this period the climate is conveniently cool.

In late December to early January is the peak time in Hong Kong – that also means everything will be much more costly.

The off seasons are the months of July and August. In these seasons, comparatively fewer tourist crowds and therefore is the most inexpensive time to travel and stay in Hong Kong. Those peaceful beaches and not so crowded markets will multiply your joy and peace of mind.
