It was a happy coincidence that there was a bus to the ferry terminal from the hotel, which was a boon as I wanted to visit the offshore islands--typically pockets of tranquility away from bustling HK island. Lamma is small but just the right size if you want to do a little walking. The sky opened up on me, so I had to complete the trek with the help of a cardboard carton "borrowed" from a villager. Lantau is more expansive--I came across a cow on a hillside miles away from any village, and luckily the animal wasn't too territorial to let me pass through the narrow track. Hong Kongites didn't turn out to be as rude or inconsiderate as they have been made out to be. It was nice to watch a eatery owner taking the time to explain her extensive menu to a Japanese visitor using sign language!

I would recommed "Rice Paper" Restaurant located at the Harbour City Shopping Mall. Do request for an open air table overlooking the harbour.

I recommend a day trip to Macau from HKG as it is a relaxing experience. Also highly recommend going to the islands, Peng Chau, Cheung Chau and Lamma.

Great destination, things that were good to visit were the Buddha on Lantau Island, the Museum just round the corner from the hotel, The Hong Kong Story, Jade Market and Stanley market. Stanley also has a beach, which has showers and toilets which are clean and life guards, worth a visit if you want a swim. If you want to have a harbour tour on an authentic Junk then go to the Tourist Information centre at the Star Ferry port on Kowloon, they will give you complimentary tickets. Public transport is plentiful and cheap - and clean. Most of the Chinese speak good English and are keen to help.

Top of the list when visiting Hong Kong are the Star Ferry between Kowlooon and Hong Kong and the tram to the peak in Hong Kong. Better yet, do both in the daytime and again at night. The view from both the ferry and peak are spectacular!

Hong Kong's all about FOOD AND SHOPPING, and the many multi-sensory experience of crowds sights and sounds are simply GREAT! From the road-side food stalls to the coffee-shops to the restaurants, the variety of food simply pampers your palate - "dim sum", brunches, noodles, roast stuff... WOW!

Go to the Gelato bar at the top of Carnarvon Rd. at Kimberley Rd. It is well worth the calories.

If you are planning 5 ~ 6 days stay then the best way to get aroung Hong kong is to be on your own. Plenty of Tourist info literatures available at the airport and you can plan your own tours and journeys. Just buy Octopus card at the airport. This card can be used on Buses including airport to city, Underground,trams, ferry, towards paying entrance fees to many attractions and even at many convinience stores like seven 11.The refund is easy at the airport whilst leaving Hong kong. Pls remember to specify your fares when paying by Octopus card. Travel by tram to the peak and return by bus, Visit Ocean park and one must also take two tours of "behind the scenes" at Ocen park, Visit to largest statue of Buddha are recommended. Visit to all Night markets, Ladies market and Jade market are excellent and depending on the item you want to buy, sometimes you can bargain upto 30% of the offered price! As a thumb rule, one should not offer more than 50% of the the intial quoted price.
