yeah....might be better off taking the mtr, especially after 2015 when they extend the hung hom mtr directly to central. otherwise for now you can take cab to TST, and then shoot down to central.
Picking up this very old thread about Royal Peninsula. Anyone still living there has advise on how things might have changed.
What are you looking to know Krypton? Don't feel like going through the whole thread to find your question...
Specifically what is there nearby in terms of provisions and daily shopping. Is there a local market nearby (in addition to a supermarket) where one can buy vegetables and fruits? How long are the bus queues during morning peak hours? Is the free shuttle still available?
Hung Hom wet market is not toooo far, and there is a Park and Shop and Welcome just behind RP and into Whampao a bit (the wet market is further down that road, maybe a 10 minute walk?). There are a couple other smaller fruit stands of sorts around that same area as well. Quite conveinent I would say. Waits for the bus depend on the route but the Cross Harbor stop is about a 10 minute walk or so all under cover - obivously warm in the summer. There are also a couple bus stops right alongside RP - not sure exactly which buses stop there though. I know 115 is one of them... Free shuttle has been discontinued.
Thanks for the pointed answers. I am pretty much sold on that location, specially since I like a jog in the morning/evening and the waterfront looks like a 10min walk. Anybody selling is welcome to PM me
Ha... I bet people owning there now (my in laws) (I actually live in Whampao right above the BIGGEST Park n Shop ever) will be holding on to their apartments waiting for the MTR stop to open up in the new few years?
Yeah they have ripped out the whole first floor of those buildings where the now expanded Park n Shop is that imparanoic mentioned. Some random shops, restaraunts... but better than what was there... that odd logisitics place or something like that which seems to serve no purpose for the local, general public.
Its a nice spot, pleasant staff, clean. Also very close to Si Sun for a little honkie style burger if you fancy that.
