Ocean Park (æµ·æ´‹å…¬å›)
 MTR cost from Jordan to Admiralty is HK$7.90 and takes about 10 minutes.
 Opens from 10am to 6pm
 Take City bus 629 from Admiralty MTR (Exit B). Outside Lippo Centre and opposite Far East Finance Centre. Bus fare: HK$10.60 ~ S$2.50 (first bus at 9am and last bus at 4pm). Takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
I also 1st time going HK. I did my own research and this is what I got. Not sure how accurate is it but at least for your reference.

hi KG,
so sorry! hv not been comin here for quite awhile...
you're flying off tmr! hope u can get to see this msg...jus spoken to my fren...is very difficult to negotiate the fare at a flat rate on e spot...they would definitely wana on e meter and it would cost anything hkd300 or so.
my fren would try to give me e contact no. later ^^

Hi KG,
sorry for the late reply. jus got hm.
yup the no. is +852 6754 1100. Do u know how to speak cantonese? before you board the plane, just give him a call...check with him the price. give him an estimated time to pick you and ask him where to wait and also cab no.
alternative way is to take e airport express(train) to kowloon station...from there, transfer into a cab which costs roughly abt sg7. it's not e normal mrt so u definitely hv seats and space to place ur luggages. take a look at the link, it explains

btw, is better for you to print out a copy of ashley's add in chinese as it's not located on the main road...some of e cabby might not know the english name...

Hi Serene,
I believe the Prudential Hotel is in the heart of all the shopping along Nathan Rd. Hong Kong is a dynamic city. If you enjoy the urban lifestyle, you'll love Hong Kong.

Hi Rachael,
I'm just back from HK last evening. The weather is SUPER GOOD there...ard 24 deg C.
Would like to thank you for the apt recommendation. Ashley Apartment is really a GOOD GOOD choice. It is very clean & modern. The Superior room is very spacious too. Location is great too. Within walking distance to all the nearby shoppings & eateries.
The receptionist "Joey" is very friendly too. She recommended us where to eat, shop & sight-seeing.
For breakfast, she recommended us to Tao Heung Super 88 (稻香超级渔港）@ The Silvercord - Canton Rd (8 mins walk from apt) for dim sum. For 2nd day, she recommended us to 澳门茶é¤åŽ…for their famous Pork Chop burger breakfast set. It is located at Lock Rd which is 2 streets away from Ashley apt.
For dinner, we had roasted duck around the corner of the apt - Hing Fat (å…´å‘茶é¤åŽ…). They served good food here.
We will definitely stay again in Ashely Apt for our next trip.
Thanks again.

Rachel,
We took Airport Express to Kowloon Station (HK$220 for 4 person) and then transfer into cab to Ashley Apt. It costs HK$42. It is very convenient.
Once again...thank you for all yr valuable info.
My kids enjoyed the last 2 days of the trip at HK Disneyland Park too. We stayed in Disneyland Hotel. A very nice & comfy hotel...where kids enjoyed breakfast together with the Disney Characters (Mickey & Minnie, Donald & Daisy Duck, etc).

Serene,
From what I understand, Prudential is centrally located. With shops surrounding it. I believe you won't be disappointed.
Enjoy your time in HK!
