Hong Kong Budget Trip from Manila: 3 Days, Real Peso Costs

A Star Ferry ride across Victoria Harbour costs HK$5 on a weekday. That’s about PHP 40, and it gives you one of the best skyline views in Asia. Hong Kong has a reputation for being expensive, and parts of it are. But the things most Filipinos actually want from a long weekend there (the harbour, the dim sum, the Peak, the night markets) cost far less than people assume. This guide plans a Hong Kong budget trip from Manila for three days, with every cost in Hong Kong dollars and pesos: flights from Manila, Clark and Cebu, the 14-day visa-free entry, the cheapest ways in from the airport, a day-by-day plan, where to sleep, and a full budget table. There is also a section for anyone flying in to watch Alex Eala at the Hong Kong Tennis Open, which starts on 2 November. All prices were checked on 18 October 2026. Conversions use HK$1 = PHP 8.02 and US$1 = PHP 62.97 (ECB reference rates, 16 October 2026). Some links in this post are affiliate links.
