My last budget trip was in Hong Kong and Macau last June 2017. The weather in Hong Kong and Macau during that time was sunny with a dash or rainfall (very little). It was too hot. Nevertheless, we still walked and rode public transportation which is by the way very efficient knowing that Hong Kong has millions of commuter daily. Both Hong Kong and Macau attractions mostly are walkable if you are really on a tight budget.
I travelled with my family. We were five - three adults and two teenagers. I traveled with my son one day ahead from my sister's family.
First stop was Macau where we stayed for three days. We took the 45-minute ferry ride to Hong Kong where we stayed another three days. On our last day, we went back to Macau for our flight back home.
Here are few tips to remember when you are on a budget travel to Hong Kong and Macau.
1. KLOOK. For discounted activities, attractions and things to do, buy tickets at Klook.com I bought our disneyland tickets and meals (I really advise you to buy meal tickets at klook as it is too expensive inside disneyland), The peak tram tickets and Macau tower tickets.
2. Book hotels at booking.com for cheaper deals.
3. Use public transportation = buses, MTRs and ferries.
4. Walk. Most attractions can easily be reached on foot.
5. Food? Go local. It is always cheaper to eat local food and street foods than eating at your well loved fast food chains like McDonald's or Burger King. Our family meal at Burger King costs us 300 HKD while a big heaping family meal at a local restaurant with rice and bubble tea was only 200 HKD less.
6. Airline. PISO FARE from Cebu Pacific is always the best.
SO, that's a few tips for a family budget Hong Kong and Macau travel.
