Hong Kong stopover

Figure out the best place to stay on Khao San Road in Bangkok and where to escape when you've had enough of the mayhem. From Singapore Slings to the changes in Bejing after the 2008 Olympics, gab about it all here.

Hong Kong stopover

Postby AsiaExpert » June 4th, 2009

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to let you know I edited my articles/postings about Stopover in Hong Kong (mostly by removing places that were closed down from the list, and adding some new restaurants, bars and other hangouts that are worth knowing about...).

Hope you'll find it useful...

1) How to cover Hong Kong's "must-sees" on a day-long stopover

2) A detailed guide for an overnight stopover in Hong Kong

3) A day trip of Hong Kong's Chinese culture and markets

4) The best cheap hotels and guest houses in Hong Kong

Cheers,

Hi there,

Here's a question that nobody at HKIA seemed willing to answer: is it possible to buy a laptop in Hong Kong airport? If so, will the price be competitive?

I have a 1.5 hour transit. I live in mainland China and I know that laptops are much cheaper in Hong Kong than they are here, and cheaper than most places in the world in fact. So I'd like to take advantage of this brief time period in Hong Kong to pick up a cheaper laptop, seeing I need a new one anyway.

Thanks,
Benson
