PRAYERS:
If you are going to be in Hong Kong for less than 15 days, you are
categorised a traveller. Therefore, your prayers (if you are a Hanafee) will
be shortened as follows:
FAJAR: 2 units Sunnat-e-Muakkida + 2 units Fard
ZOHOR: 2 units Fard
ASAR: 2 units Fard
MAGHRIB: 3 units Fard + 2 units Sunnat-e-Muakkida
ISHA: 2 units Fard + 3 units Witr Wajib
JUMUAH:
Both Men and Women are welcomed at Masjids in Hong Kong (especially
Kowloon Mosque () in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) - ()
& Masjid Ammar Wan Chai - ()where there are Wudhu and
prayer room facilities for both men and women - for all prayers including
Jumuah (Friday Prayers). There are however, very limited facilities for
women in other Masjids in HK.
To help you plan your Friday, theres a short lecture at 12:50pm, followed
by Adhan at 1:10pm, followed by Khutba (in Arabic) at 1:15pm and
Prayer at 1:25pm. The prayer usually ends by 1:30pm so try to reach the
Masjid before 12:50pm-130pm.
There are of course many other cheaper hotels but it is best to avoid hotels
near 100-200 Lockhart Road Wan Chai if you are traveling with the
family.
As long as you keep your options within Wan Chai ( ) and
Causeway Bay () districts, you will find yourself close to a very
happening part of town in terms of key tourist attractions, halal dining
options, transportation connectivity, entertainment/leisure options and
Masjid.
SPECIAL TIP:
To get the best hotel rates in Asia let alone Hong Kong, visit www.asiatravel.com to
get an idea what options you have and if your preferred travel agent can offer a better
rate, go with your travel agent but if they cant, book through this award winning
Singapore-based travel website. In most (not all) cases, payments are only made
directly to the hotel when you check-in so this option is very safe.
Alternatively, should you require a bilingual (English/Cantonese speaking) Muslim
travel agent in HK for travel bookings beyond Hong Kong, China and the rest of Asia,
email Sister Amina at taqwatvl@netvigator.com or call 2892 2361.
If however you decide to take a taxi from St. Johns Building, tell the driver:
Mosque Street (), get off at Pacific Coffee Shop and you will
know where to go ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE MUCH MORE
ENJOYABLE IF YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE AMAZING
CENTRAL-MID-LEVELS ESCALATOR UP.
While there arent that many Halal-dining options in this district, there are a
few (mostly Indian or Middle Eastern) restaurants nearby. However, this
whole area is definitely worth a visit. Besides, if you havent visited the
Central CBD area, you havent really seen the real HK!
(II) Stanley Mosque (T: 2813 7377) in Stanley, is technically located
inside the compound of Stanley Prison () (yes prison - but this
Masjid is open to ordinary people as well as tourists - however take note that
there are limited prayer facilities for women at this Masjid. Stanley
meanwhile is a hugely popular area among tourists and locals. It is also only
just over 40-minutes away by bus from Central, the financial business
district, (or 20 minutes from Wan Chai). It has some of the most SubhanAllah... beautiful beaches in Hong Kong a tourist-friendly night market and
a number of restaurants (at the time of writing in June 2013 all non-halal)
surrounded by stunning scenery and landscape that will make you question
whether you are still in Hong Kong. It can be unbelievably beautiful and
relaxing.
There is also Repulse Bay (), which is yet another popular tourist
stop on the way into Stanley (). Since a lot of wealthy individuals
working in Central () and other nearby districts live in Repulse
Bay/Stanley, avoid going into Repulse Bay/Stanley at 8am-9am or
leaving at 5-7pm as traffic conditions can get quite bad.
The 4 options of traveling INTO Repulse Bay/Stanley are:
(1) From Central (): The best way to visit Stanley/Repulse Bay is to
catch the bus 6, 6A, 6X, 66 or 260 (40mins) from Exchange Square,
Central bus terminus - () (near MTR Hong
Kong Station, ( - Exit D) or quite simply, take a taxi.
(2) From Wan Chai/Causeway Bay: Take the minibus 40 near Tang
Lung Street, Times Square, Causeway Bay ()
(20mins);
(3) From Tsim Sha Tsui: Bus 973 (80mins) from Tsim Sha Tsui East (
)from inside Concordia Plaza (); or
(4) Simply take a Taxi - which will cost approximately US$13 from Central
()- or US$25 from Kowloon.
(V) A smart way of making the most of your day at Repulse Bay/Stanley at
the end of your visit is to take the 16M green minibus from Stanley and
head straight to Chai Wan MTR train station ()- (exit C)
via the Tai Tam reservoir - () for stunning Subhan-Allah...,
views locals take for granted and tourist know little about. Its a 20-minute
journey and worth every cent of the shockingly cheap US$1.3 fare per
passenger.
Once in Chai Wan, you can consider making your way to the (III) Chai
Wan Mosque (T: 2556 5507 or 923 89764), in Cape Collison ()
Chai Wan (15 minutes away) Again, there are no prayer facilities for
women at this Masjid - or take the MTR train and head straight back to your
hotel or to Wan Chai (20 minutes by train) or Tsim Sha Tsui (30 minutes by
train) where there are a number of Halal restaurants.
If you are not in a hurry, take the Chai Wan MTR train and get off two stops
later at Shau Kei Wan MTR () Get out through the B1
exit and hop onto the Tram () - operates from 5am-midnight daily and enjoy the slow, yet amazing Subhan-Allah..., 40-minute journey to Wan
Chai or 1-hour journey to Central.
In the evenings on the tram, you will get to see a very different side of Hong
Kong no taxi, bus, or other modes of transport can offer.
NOTE: Every taxi needs to run by the meter in HK and most do. If you come across a
dishonest driver, please write down the (1) Vehicle registration number of the taxi; (2)
name of driver; (3) date and time of incident; (4) your name and email address and
send a short letter to: info@tcu.gov.hk and the authorities will take action against
him/her.

HALAL FOOD:
Should you decide to eat at a Chinese or Thai restaurant limiting yourself to
seafood and vegetarian dishes only, be warned that the local Chinese in
Hong Kong tend to add pork floss on top of a number of dishes as a top
garnish. Therefore, when ordering food, clarify and re-emphasise on no
pork floss ()
Also, in a number of restaurants, cooks sometimes prefer to sprinkle or
marinate seafood with a hint of alcohol to enhance its flavor therefore, when
ordering seafood, clarify and re-emphasise make sure theres no alcohol
in seafood. ()
Theres also no way of knowing what they were cooking using the same
utensils in the kitchen before they started cooking for you so best to avoid
non-halal restaurants.
Finally, at 7-11, Circle K, supermarkets, pastries and cake shops, read the
ingredients label carefully to ensure the item does not contain any gelatin
i.e., animal fat.
While there is a document attached to this file with a list of Halal restaurants
in Hong Kong (it may not be the most updated). To obtain the latest, most
updated version, it is best to visit www.discoverhongkong.com, followed
by dine & drink, followed by what to eat, followed by special
diets, followed by certified halal food outlets, and download that list.

Preamble
With a view to improving the service standard of Hong Kongs receiving agents and protecting
the interests of inbound travellers, the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong (TIC) has set up
the Inbound Department and two committees to handle complaints lodged by inbound
travellers.
The travel agent being complained about shall be a member of the TIC.
The complaint shall be related to the travel services provided by the member agent.
The complaint shall be lodged with the TIC within 30 days from the date of the incident.
The complainant shall be directly involved in the case.
The complaint case shall not be under legal proceedings.
Inbound travellers shall provide the following information when lodging a complaint with
the TIC:
(i) the name, the address or contact number in Hong Kong, the date of departure, and
the correspondence address/telephone number/fax number/email address of the
complainant in his/her place of residence;
(ii) the name, the address and the telephone number of the member agent concerned;
(iii) information about the travel services being complained about (e.g. the tour name,
date of arrival, name and contact number of the tour guide, etc.)
(iv) details of the case; and
(v) the settlement requested. If compensation is demanded, justification should be given
and relevant supporting documents provided (e.g. a copy of the tour itinerary, the
receipt issued by the overseas/mainland China travel agent, etc.).
2.
The complainant may write a complaint letter or complete the complaint form provided
by the TIC, which should be submitted with a copy of the receipts and other relevant
documents (e.g. the tour itinerary) to the TIC by post, by fax (3475-0650), by email
(office@tichk.org) or in person. The complainant may request that the complaint form be
sent to him/her by fax or by post, or download it from the TIC website at www.tichk.org,
where an online complaint form may be completed.
3.
If assistance is needed for completion of the complaint form, the complainant should first
have the information and documents specified in paragraph 1 ready. The details of the
complaint mentioned by the complainant will be recorded for completion of the complaint
form by staff of the TIC Executive Office. The completed complaint form will be sent
within seven working days by fax or by post to the complainant, who needs to sign it to

confirm the details of the complaint before the TIC begins to handle the complaint.
4.
If the complainant files a complaint with the TIC while he/she is in Hong Kong, he/she
should have the information and the relevant documents mentioned in paragraph 1 ready
in order for staff of the TIC Executive Office to offer immediate assistance and take
follow-up actions.
5.
6.
For the sake of fairness, if the complaint case is referred to the relevant Committee for
consideration, the complainant and the parties concerned shall not attempt to contact or
influence members of the Committee before or after the meeting at which the case is
considered; otherwise, the TIC will stop handling the case.
If a complaint is filed with the TIC by the complainant while he/she is in Hong Kong, the
TIC Executive Office will mediate between the complainant and the travel agent
concerned for a settlement in the hope that the complaint can be resolved before the
complainant leaves Hong Kong. If the complainant cannot reach a settlement with the
travel agent, he/she may request the TIC Executive Office to continue to follow up the
case after he/she leaves Hong Kong.
2.
If a complaint is filed with the TIC in writing via letter, fax or email by the complainant
after he/she has left Hong Kong, the TIC Executive Office will verify all the information
provided and notify the complainant within three working days whether the case is
accepted. If it is accepted, the TIC Executive Office will look into it, and write to the
travel agent, tourist guide and registered shop concerned asking them to provide a written
explanation each within 21 days. The TIC Executive Office will then send the written
explanations to the complainant, and try to help the parties concerned to reach a
settlement.
3.
If the travel agent or tourist guide concerned is suspected of violating TIC rules, or if the
registered shop concerned is suspected of violating its own pledges made to the TIC, then
the case will be referred to the Compliance Committee or the Committee on
Shopping-related Practices of the TIC for deliberation. If the committees, which have at
least 50% non-trade members, decide that there is a breach of TIC rules or a violation of
pledges, the travel agent, tourist guide or registered shop will be disciplined, and the name
of the travel agent and the registered shop concerned, together with the rules or pledges
violated, will be posted on the TIC website.
