Just one week to go before we leave on our city trip to Hong Kong and I\u2019m looking forward to it so much! I\u2019ve been in Hong Kong 8 years ago for a couple of days when I was travelling to Australia and loved the city with its \u201ceast meets west\u201d atmosphere. On one hand you\u2019ll find the tallest skyscrapers and enormous shopping malls and on the other you\u2019ll find the more traditional China. Therefore, a lovely combination!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Off we go!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Friday, the 23rd of February we fly from Amsterdam Schiphol directly to Hong Kong with\u00a0Cathay Pacific<\/a>\u00a0in 12 hours. We hear Cathay has great inflight service for kids so we\u2019re really curious to find out! On our way in we have a day flight and on our way back we fly at night. I\u2019ve been preparing Flo and Lotte for a long flight and I\u2019m always surprised at how much they enjoy flying. They\u2019re really looking forward to this flight. Perhaps the small presents and snacks that I\u2019ve packed for the flight help a bit.<\/p>\n

What are we going to do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is loads to do in Hong Kong! This Hong Kong travel guide<\/a> is a real help. Often Hong Kong is a stayover destination as was the case for me 8 years ago. Luckily I had 2 days to spend back then. I loved the city so much I\u2019ve decided to go back now for 9 days, this time with the kids! Especially during this time the Hong Kong climate is perfect, about 20 degrees. The city has a lot to offer and not only to me, but for the kids too!<\/p>\n

I may have read about a 100 articles trying to map out the stuff we really need to have done before we get back on the plane to Amsterdam. I\u2019ve asked Kev, Flo and Lotte too. When I asked them \u201cwhat do you want to do on our city trip to Hong Kong?\u201d Lotte and Flo shouted \u201cseeing Mickey!!!\u201d together. Hence, CHECK, Disneyland is on the list. Kev wants to visit the Tian Tan Buddha, nice!! We haven\u2019t been to Asia in two years so seeing a Buddha seems like a great idea to me.<\/p>\n

Aside from that I would really like to take the famous Peak tram to the Peak (I reckon the kids will appreciate this too), spot some rare pink dolphins in real life (second on the kids\u2019 wish list), viewing Hong Kong from the star ferry and, if possible with Kev\u2019s fear of heights, take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. And, especially relevant, there needs to be time for some serious relaxation of course; lounging at the pool (fingers crossed for good weather), strolling through the city, shopping and sleeping in at least once. Need more inspiration on things to do in Hong Kong for kids<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Our hotels\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re in Hong Kong for 9 days and I\u2019ve booked 3 different hotels:\u00a0Dorsett Wanchai<\/a>,\u00a0Hyatt Regency Hong Kong Sha Tin<\/a>\u00a0 and of course a Disney Hotel;\u00a0Disney Explorers Lodge<\/a>. We\u2019ll spend our first nights in Dorsett Wanchai, a four star hotel which is located smack in the middle of Hong Kong Island and which is well-known for its beautiful and special interior. Hyatt Regency Sha Tin is a luxurious 5 star resort and supposedly very child friendly. We will be relaxing here for a couple of days, enjoying the pool and have the kids participate in all kinds of activities. We\u2019re also very much looking forward to having an extensive lunch in the award-winning restaurant.<\/p>\n

The last day of our trip we\u2019ll be sleeping in the Disney Explorer Lodge so we can enjoy Disneyland to the fullest. Sounds good right? On this day we\u2019ll stay in Disneyland until the park closes, after the parade. Our flight leaves at 00.30 hours which is perfect because we can hop into a taxi and leave for the airport after a long and exhausting day of Disneyland with a festive ending. I think (and hope) the kids will sleep through the night so the jetlag won\u2019t last very long when we arrive back in the Netherlands early in the morning.<\/p>\n

But first\u2026.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We need to pack. And I\u2019ve told myself to do so in time for once, instead of last minute. Do you have any tips for our city trip to Hong Kong? I\u2019d love to hear them! Oh l\u2019m looking forward to it so much!!!<\/p>\n
