For a list of Hong Kong's gay facilities or scene which covered saunas, pubs, discos etc you might explore the Hong Kong based gay web shown here:

For mature lovers, try the gay sauna 'Galaxy' at Harilela Mansion, Nathan Road, TST, Kowloon.

Anybody can recommend what is the best way to travel to Shenzhen? I found out that the best way is to travel by rail but I would like to hear from those who has experienced. Also, where to stay? Preferred to be <$100. Area should be central to saunas, bars, pubs, massage places.

I heard that massage parlours in Shenzhen can be as happening as those in Bangkok .. is that true?

Railway is the easiest way to get to SZ's Lowu district. If you would like to cross the border after midnight, you'll need to use the Huang Gang District's immigration which is accessible only by bus at the moment. The immigration is opened 24 hours. I won't recommend this for newbies as giving directions on where the bus stations are can be complicated.

Can't provide any info on accommodation or saunas. Never stayed or had fun in SZ.

Some China gay sites may be helpful:

www.gay163.com

www.boysky.com

Be careful of the money boys or men. They come in all shapes, sizes and age group.

Any advice on where to go for muscular or bodybuilders in HKG?

Seems like there are no places (massage or sauna) specialising in this area...

Some of the guys featured in gaychinastar really drooling .. wonder how much is outcall? Long Time & Short Time as the thai calls it?

What about any recommendation for accommodation? I heard about how people kanna cheated in SZ, was hesitating whether to go or not. I suppose staying in a well reputable hotel does help a little.

There use to be a muscular masseur at New Yuk Tak Chee but he has left and not sure where he has gone. The owner of New YTC said he has others but were not available when I was last there. :(

Not sure if above is within your budget. There are also "guesthouse" type accommodation in tsim Sha Tsui, Jordon, Ya Ma Tei etc. Just look out for their signs outside the buildings as you walk along Nathan Road. I do not know how they charge but expect poor sanitary and poor hygiene conditions. Actually, Rainbow's private rooms does offer good value.

Planning a trip to HKG in Oct. Heard that hotels there are very expensive. Any suggestion for cheaper accomodation?

Don't want to sleep in the saunas. Maybe some 公寓.

guest house charge is as low as HK$200/nite with a single bed. room size is slightly larger than a double bed without window but with a teeny

bath attached.

with window it is HK$300 upwards.

there are plenty along jordan road and argyle road on both sides of nathan road

during peak period (school holidays, exhibition etc) expect to pay at least 50% more. chances also it will be full house

I am going to travel to Hongkong next January.

Anybody here can advise which hotel/area is near centre and also near Gay clubs/bars ? There are many information in the mentioned links but it does not have comments so appreciate if you can give some comments.

Could you help to recommend which hotel (4* and above because it is company paid) ?

Should I book through Internet or through some agent is cheaper ?

Is it very cold in January in Hongkong ?

Thanks in advance ...

Castaway,

There are saunas in Wanchai, Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan, Yau Ma Tei, Causeway Bay, etc. Just book a hotel near MRT and you should find getting around easy. All these are or are near tourist belts so you can do your shopping there as well.

Which hotel? Ask your company's travel agent to recommend when you book your air ticket. There are package prices I belief.

January's temperature could drop below 15 degrees. Generally comfortable with a sweater.

enjoy

How about the gay bars/clubs ?

Any typical things such as food, nice restaurants, ... which I should not miss ???

Sorry if I asked too much ...

Castaway,

some guides for gay establishments (and these were posted umpteen times before)

http://sqzm14.ust.hk/hkgay/

http://www.gayhk.com/

Gay friendly hotel? er ... I am not aware of any gay hotel other than saunas that open 24 hours. YMCA Tsim Sha Tsui has harbour view rooms, and since it is YMCA, I think the rates may be cheaper than other 5 star hotels.

What food you should not miss? For dim sum, try some of the larger restaurants which will ensure freshness because of high turnover. Economical food for local people are available at kopi tiam equivalent known as cha chang tang. Noodles and porridge are usually available and some outlets also have roast goose and chay siew rice. Desert, try ginger juice on frozen milk. Most of these are available in those districts I mentioned in my earlier post here.

more info at http://www.discoverhongkong.com/seasia/

have fun

Hi Castaway, its easy to cross back and forth from HK island and Kowloon by MTR but traffic on the train is very heavy in morning and evening. lots worse than in Singapore and people walk very fast. best to stay near your office or those key clients u planning to visit so less travelling.

thanks nicefatboy, do you know what time is the last MRT train in HongKong ? Is it after midnight or just around 11 pm ? Weekend ?

Do they use ticket system as ezlink ?

Do you think taking taxi at night back to hotel from bars/clubs is expensive ? Price is similar as Singapore or more ex ? ;)

Last MTR trains usually by midnight, altho if I am not mistaken, Fri, Sat and Eve of public hols, they extend by half hour.

Buy the octopus card after clearing customs at airport. Can get deal for MTR + train ride to city. Check out the combos.. 3 days or 1 week etc. U can use the octopus card for trains and buses, etc. They were the predecessor of our cash card in Sg.

Taxis in HK do not hv midnight surcharge, so no worries. Lots of 24 hour minibuses take you between Kowloon n HK island, quite inexpensive.

Hope this helps.

Have fun. :)

If taxis in HK have no midnight surcharge and inexpensive so I wont worry much :D ...

Btw, do you know any tour operator in HK selling package for day tour to Macau (budget one) ? Can I just go alone by myself ?

Yes, no problem going over on your own. There's ferries going over from Central or SheungWan very frequently throughout the day. I believe you need to bring passport if you are not HKer. Take the free shuttle buses at the ferry terminal to the various big casinos. From there take a taxi to wherever you want.

If u do a day trip, start with the usual tourist sites eg St Paul's Ruins,Fortress, walk down the older & colorful part of Macau, buy the famous almond cookies from the old baker shops. Then grab a cab to go to Taipa Village to see the Taipa Houses Museum, and the old Portuguese area.. the portuguese restaurants mostly open only in the evenings, but you can get very good grilled sardines at some of the cafes for snacks or high tea. Get a map first (online or from your hotel) to chart your walking tour.

Coloane is quaint too, but you may be packing too much in one day.

Return to hit at least one of the big casinos like The Venetian (replica of LVegas) or MGM Grand or Wynn's. The Casino Strip is quite colorful and glitzy at night. Plenty of good cantonese restaurants around too eg. the one on ground level in the building just directly behind Crown, or the coffeehouse inside Crown Casino serves excellent HK food too. Sorry can't remember names of the restaurants I went to, but they were v good.

As the exchange rate difference is minimal in favor of the Macanese dollar, the locals are quite happy to accept HKD.. so no need to change any local money. Cab fare is quite cheap so just hop into a cab to get any where. :)

Marco Polo is located in a row of 5 star hotels and shopping centre known as Ocean Terminal. Shops here are mid to high to luxury range. LV, Prada, Feragamo, Brooks Brothers, Hilfiger, RL, etc, etc, etc, are all here. If that is not enough, DFS, Armani, H&M, Dior, etc, etc , etc, are across the road. If you intend to visit the luxury shops, be prepare to Q with long lines of Mandarin speaking fans of luxury products who are already covered from head to toe in familiar brands and who will pay for their purchases and puchases and purchases in hard cash.

Tsim Sha Tsui MRT is 5 minutes walk away (ask the hotel concierge for directions). Along the way, you will find other more affordable buys in the like of Bossini, Giodano, Esprit Outlet, Adidas, HMV, etc, etc, etc. Try the local brand G.O.D. (Goods Of Desire) in Silvercord shopping centre for perculiar HK design fashion. If you like Japanese stuff, large stores of Uniqlo and 无印良品 are at Mirama Shopping Centre, also walking distance away. Young trendy fashions are available at shops under I.T. Group. They carry different brands (Bathing Ape, Fred Perry, etc. ) and can be found at B1 or B2 of Silvercord Shopping Centre. Oh, you will also find Toast Box and Food Republic at Silvercord. Give them a miss.

Macau Cha Chang Tang (kopi tiam) is in one of the side road opposite Ocean Terminal. Try their ice coffee. Tang Dynasty, also opposite Ocean Terminal, serve HK style food (noodles, porridge, some dim sum, etc). If you must have western food, Hard Rock Cafe, Dan Ryans, etc, etc, are all in the vicinity.

Wally Matt bar is walking distance and so is Galaxy sauna. I believe Nichome sauna is nearby too but have never been there. Addresses at www.gayhk.com
