I’ll be there in about a month when we’re playing Norwich if there’s a supporters branch to watch the match with. Staying in the grand Hyatt

@shields_supporter used to run it back in the day

Not sure if anyone gets together anymore.

Grand Hyatt is a good spot.

I did,demolished in ‘93.

Loved it when I went. Fair bit to do: Victoria peak, cable car to Buddha statue, day trip to Macau (wasn’t that keen on it), plenty of walks (we did dragons back and lions rock).

Food was amazing too, didn’t have a bad meal

Just left after 21 years. Shadow of its former self. Don’t bother.

China has dismantled a great place imo.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Nah

 

[zwartekat]

Worth seeing for a couple of days on your way to somewhere else, imo

Would agree with this.

 

[Brian Griffin]

Would agree with this.

Once you’ve done the Kowloon ferry in the harbour and visited a wet market there’s not much left to do.

A night market maybe.

I hated it. Filthy and busy

Great fun for 2-3 days as a stopover but don't think I'd want to spend longer there.

Most drunk I've ever been in my life was going out drinking straight after getting off the flight and checking into the hotel. Jetlagged, got lost, phone battery died and I couldn't remember the name of the hotel. Ended up walking the streets until something looked familiar.

Lan kwai fong and wanchai are the best for bars,few in tsim sha tsui,what sort of “fun and japes” are you looking to avoid exactly?

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

Never been, but the banks are a nightmare to deal with.

I loved LKF and Wanchai (though skipped a few dodgy looking Chinese bars). Why would you want to avoid the "fun and japes"?

Really enjoyed it when I was there about 6 years ago.
