Hong Kong: Travel to HK

[Jacfm]

Hi all,

 

Sorry to be posting this over here. This is the only place I can think of to get ideas for practically anything. Anyway, I would like to check how do you book hotel room for Hong Kong via internet. If you have done so, how do you ensure that the booking is secured (Not cheated by some IT savvy buggers)...

 

Secondly, what is good in Hong Kong? Suggested Hotel, food, restuarant, sight-seeing, etc.

 

Thanks for all your valuable feedback.

 

Regards

[Shull]

No such thing as 100% safe internet transaction. If worry, go to the tour agents. Even agent can fail and fold up.

 

Yap, search the previous posts on Hong Kong or join a tour forum.
