Tips To Make Your Trip Pocket-Friendly

Hong Kong budget travel trips
  • Book the tickets for hotels, air travel and for places like DisneyLand in as advance as possible and chances are that you may get good discounted deals.
  • Travel by foot – as the city has a great infra for pedestrians and large number of people walk in the city. It is also great if you are looking to explore the local lively streets of the city.
  • City restaurants may be very expensive – but there are few joints which offer great food in a good budget. You want to try Dai Pai Pong – street side restaurants offering great local delicacies which won’t hurt your pocket.
  • City’s metro train – Hong Kong MTR may be your best friend for travelling around the city. For travelling to not so big distance – we suggest you catch the city buses – which are the cheapest travel mode out here. For further discount you can also get your travel passes which will allow you to commute on MTR or city buses in a very inexpensive manner.
  • Staying in city hotels can be real expensive – but if you do good research then you may just get lucky and find decent guest houses in a cost bracket of INR 2000 – INR 4000.

Travel in off season. Hong Kong basically has a good climate all around, but still in the months of October to December are best because during this period climate is conveniently cool. Late December to early January is the peak tourist traffic time at Hong Kong – that also means everything will be much more expensive. July-August is the off season – sees relatively less tourist crowds and therefore is the most inexpensive time to travel and stay in Hong Kong. Add to that peaceful beaches and not so crowded markets will double your joy and peace of mind.
