May 24th, 2008 | Category: Life Log | 15 Comments

For the whole next week, I will be in the Hong Kong. ShenZhen and GuangZhou. My dad, younger brother and I are going to China for holiday. We do not follow any travel agency tour. We travel at our own, kind of backpackers. We will spend 3 days in Hong Kong, 1 day in ShenZhen and 2 days in GuangZhou.

Planning a tour online

Basically, we did everything online, such as booking AirAsia flight tickets and hotel rooms. There are many websites for travelers on hotel booking and travel guide. My brother and I did online research for a couple days to find the good one. I also asked for friends advices.

The AirAsia return flight tickets (Hong Kong) is about RM1,000+ for each person (not the recent RM0 promotion). The Hong Kong hotel room is HKD450 per night for 3 pax. ShenZhen is slightly cheaper. We will stay in a 4 stars hotel in GuangZhou with river view.

As for the attractions, we didn’t plan much about it. We have a list of attractions of each city but we haven’t planned a traveling route. Freestyle! :P

Shopping, shopping, shopping!

Hong Kong is well known as the shopping heaven because it is duty free for branded stuff. I checked a Canon camera listed price, Hong Kong is few hundred bucks cheaper than the listed price in Malaysia! That’s around 20% cheaper!

Next week, I am going to have my vacation at TWO different places: Cameron Highland and Kota Kinabalu of Sabah. What a busy but happy week!

Before that, I am going to Kuala Lumpur today. I will stay overnight at my brother’s place. We will have dinner together and watch the Japanese movie “L”. Then, I go to Cameron Highland with my friend tomorrow morning.

It has been many years since the last time I went to Cameron Highland. In my memory, it is a beautiful and relaxing place. I always prefer Cameron Highland over Genting Highlands.

I will spend 3 days 2 nights at Cameron Highland to enjoy the beautiful nature and the fresh vegetables and fruits. Oh, and the tea too!
