Hong Kong Disneyland
@fndyfsoul
I was here with one day ticket on a fine day Saturday (Cost 1.2 Mio IDR), it's not super crowded and you can enjoy all the rides without purchasing 3 or 8 fast rides on klook. Also, make sure that you are checking on disneyland website if there is any fireworkshow on 9 pm.
What to Bring :
- Tumblr
- Octopus card (needed when you are going to the disneyland hk)
- Additional Clothes (sometimes it can get hot)
Recommended rides :
- Grizzly Rides
- Mystic Manor

Sheung Wan
@fndyfsoul
Take the chances to stroll around the Sheung Wan, check out on the Ferry Harbour as you can see there is a good place to sit and relax while you are here.
When I was in this place, it's windy and very breathtaking view. This place located near Sheung Wan MTR, you will not miss it

Times Square
@fndyfsoul
You can visit here at night, it's located in the causeway bay, you can directly visit here when you go out from the Causeway Bay MTR.
A lot of shops/restaurant and it's quite crowded, so you can feel the Hong Kong vibes here.

Avenue of Stars
@fndyfsoul
One of the best places to sit and relax in Hong Kong.
It's Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, it's really close with the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR (only 7 mins walk). You can enjoy the view here (Tall building and the sea view), make sure to take photos on the Famous Sculpture, and don't forget to take photos with Mr Jackie Chan Hand Sign (Make sure it's Jackie chan not Jacky Cheung) lol

The Peak Tower | Sky Terrace 428
@fndyfsoul
One of the biggest lesson here is always check with the Hong Kong weather, make sure to book and go there when it's sunny so you can see this places much clearer. I went there on the afternoon when the rain is coming and all I got is foggy view.
If you book by klook the peak tram roundtrip and sky Sky terrace 428 package, make sure to enter the terrace when the weather is better (as it only one time enter and you cannot re-enter the place)
Tips :
- Make sure you are on the right side of the tram when you ride it. It will give you better view of the building and all the scenery through the top

Ramada Hong Kong Harbour View
@fndyfsoul
One of the affordables hotels in hongkong, I was staying here for 3 days, it's located near Sai Ying Pun MTR (5 mins walk) and there's a lot of restaurant and places to eat. There's also 7/11 here and a convenience store for you to buy some snacks or souvenirs from hongkong.
Afterall, it costs you like 700k-900k IDR per night, make sure to book via agoda (prices there much cheaper) and also no deposit for this hotel, you can enjoy your stay at here.
Minus :
- The lift took sometime to go up and down (only 3) and i think it's super slow
- It's not that spacious
P.s :
- Don't forget to checkout the Swimming pool on the rooftop if you have some time.

Broadway Macau
@fndyfsoul
Range Price : 950k - 1200k IDR
One of the best and cheapest hotel in Macao, it is 5 stars hotel indeed (as it part of the Galaxy group).
The room are super spacious compared to hotel in hongkong, they give you welcome drink including (4 bottle of water (2 not cold, 2 are) and also complimentary drink like Coca Cola (2 Cans) and Sprites (2 Cans). Not to mentions, the staff services is top notch, they are super friendly and very helpful. One time we ask where is the bus station, not only they tell us but they lead us where is the Bus Station.
Meanwhile, The hotel is super strategical, located with broadway street (all cuisine from around the world is available here) and not that crowded. They also have their own casino and nearby with 7/11. Plus, there is bus stop in front of the hotel, making it more easier to travel around macao
P.S :
- Make sure to go to their swimming pool as its the best one (I havent take the chances to check on the swimming pool) I only discover it when I checkout from the hotel. The swimming pool i mentioned is the one located in the Mall Galaxy (it's part of their group, if you stay there (Broadway or galaxy), u gain access to the luxury swimming pool.

Parisian Macao Eiffel Tower
@fndyfsoul
I know, Public transport in Macao can be confusing. Beforehand, if you don't have the macao pass, you need to prepare coins (exact amount) cuz no change (6 mop to be exact). once you have this, you can go easily and travel around macao.
First thing you need to know : checkout your gmaps a lot and take notes on the number of the bus.
For Example :
Write your from and the destination and check what bus is available. Sometimes, there is no direct bus from Broadway to your destinations, but this can be easily solve if you know what next bus needed to be taken (Ignore the Bus with Code "N" as it only for midnight ride around Macao).
Tips :
- Take a look at on your gmaps what bus available
- Free shuttle is available til 8pm on the basement, this ride will goes to londoners. (it's not that far anyway)
- If you book the entrance ticket to the Eiffel Tower, you can go up till 37th floor.
