I had heard there was a karting track out at Kai Tak. Haven't been personally. I was going to look into it last month, but alas ended up in Soho instead. Anyway, if you find it, let us know,...

Thanks for the tips guys, :up:

I've been on a hike already, and was thinking about going to Macau as well.
Where's the go-karting in Macau?

Any more suggestions are welcome ! i have 3 days to spend !

places to go

Hi all,

I'll also be in HK at the end of next week for a few days. It's my first visit in 10years so if anyone has suggestions on what to see and do that would be great. If your keen to have a beer with an aussie just post or pm me.

Cheers VneII

There're many activities available in this Asia's World City, even in three days =)

Well I went to plane spotting with friends (spotters and pilots) at HAECO some days while I was in Hong Kong, great fun...but spotting isn't as good as the one in Amsterdam!
If you are interested in planes...

Hi Guys and girls,

Just wanted to let you know i enjoyed 3 nice days in a hot and humid HKG last week.

day 1 : day at the beach at Repulse bay :up: (took mini bus # 40 from Causewaybay)

day2 : botanical gardens and zoo ( http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/parks/hkzbg/en/index.php ) and computer mall

day3 : biked Cheng Chau island on a mountainbike, had dinner at the harbour over there.

I have another 3 days in HKG in two weeks from now,
Any more ideas ?

The karting place is definately closed. The terminal at Kai Tak is in the process of being pulled down.

As for suggestions, you could go up to the peak (on a nice day! ) and go for the short hour walk they have around the peak and take the Peak tram (although it is due for some maintenance this month I think).

Go and have a wander around Stanley market, and have a beer in one of the restaurants/pubs that overlook the sea.
