STOP OVERS

Cathay Pacific stops on the way to Sydney in Hongkong. Local arrival time in HKG is 08:00 hrs the following morning. Departure time is 23:00 hrs. Groups will be picked up by our English speaking guide (Mr. Charlie Chan) and accommodation is at either Star Guest House or Lee Garden Guesthouse in the Kowloon district. No breakfast because there is no overnight stay in HKG just dayroom. Kowloon is the famous district for shopping and also awesome harbour views! Perfect and safe area for backpackers, no BIG 5 star hotels but many local shops and restaurant. Guided transfer back to Airport. The guesthouse is very simple, small room with ensuite but don't expect any luxury. It's clean centrally located and a safe spot. Perfect for 3-4 hours sleep before you hit town.
On the way back you can stay longer in Hong Kong if you please. No visa required. For mainland China visa is required but Charlie Chan can help you out. He can also arrange various tours through Hong Kong and in / to mainland China.
