I recommend tipping the taxi drivers, as tipping is a way of life in Hong Kong, so its rude if you don't.

when riding the escalators, stay on the right side. the locals can really get annoyed if they are in a hurry and ur on their way. youll get a frown or if youre really unlucky, a frown plus a shove.

Handle paper with two hands - when passing money to people use both hands and accept the change the same way, the older generations appreciate it as using one hand is a sign of rudeness.

It is probably better to greet people esp. older people in a formal way (Ms/Mr should do for most cases). This probably doesn't apply to the younger generation who greet each other very informally.

Be nice and polite. These are mostly Chinese and it is very important to the Chinese not to lose face.
