Things to Do  

Lantau Island

Lantau Island, Hong Kong

 263 Reviews  I was told this was something to definitely factor into our itinery, a day trip to Lantau Island, taking in the Big Buddha, the Cable Car, Tai O Fishing Village and Po Lin Monastery, and we managed to fit all of that into about 7 hours! And it definitely was amazing. Once again (and I know I keep... 

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

 362 Reviews  Its hard to know where to start with my "To Do" tips but I guess the ever famous Victoria Peak is a great place. I think if you come to Hong Kong and you dont go up to the Peak, then you are truly missing out on a great experience. And whether its by day or by night, you will be in awe of the view,...

Restaurants  

Jumbo Floating Restaurant

Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Hong Kong

 56 Reviews  The Jumbo kingdom floating restaurant is soOo unique! it's name came from where it is situated, obviously, floating in the aberdeen harbor. this restaurant is so popular among the locals and especially to the tourists. We went here to have lunch on my last day in HK but I think it's better if you go... 

Nightlife  

Lan Kwai Fong

Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong

 109 Reviews  We just happen to be in Hong Kong on a Wednesday night so we decided to go to Lan Kwai Fong hoping there would be people. And boy were there people. I have been here on the weekends when the place is a mad house, but never expected it to be this packed on a weekday. We had a blast just bar hoping. A... 

Transportation  

Mass Transit Railway MTR

Mass Transit Railway MTR, Hong Kong

 149 Reviews  The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is just so easy to use and its quick, efficient, clean, air conditioned and sooooooo very cheap!!! At all Stations, all signs are posted in english and very easy to read and follow, and all stations have signs that tell you which platform to go to, which line to take,... 

Shopping  

Clothes

Clothes, Hong Kong

 60 Reviews  I saw a HUGE billboard for this store in Nathan Road and thought to myself "Ive gotta go here!" I asked a westerner one day and they told me it was in Canton Road and walking distance from Hop Inn, so I think it was about day 5 and I did a solo venture to find it! Basically H&M is relatively cheap... 

Local Customs  

Do/Do Not!

Do/Do Not!, Hong Kong

 27 Reviews  Hong Kongers live in a modern fast moving society but many retains their Chinese traditons, beliefs and superstitutions. It is not unusual to see temples right in the middle of an urban sprawl. Feng shui masters and fortune tellers are often consulted in building designs, date of moving house or... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Safety

Safety, Hong Kong

 31 Reviews  While making a round tour at Hong Kong, Victoria, Aberdeen, our Guide stopped the bus and shows us a public bath place at south sea coast: "See, this is very shure bath place because it is with guarantee free of sharks- roundup is installed a strong net". So for a traveller it needs no more... 

Tourist Traps  

Nathan Road

Nathan Road, Hong Kong

 25 Reviews  Wont bore you with additional details, as nothing has changed. It is January 2012 and I am staying in a hotel in TST Hong Kong. We are very near Nathan Road. The camera shop tourist traps are alive and well, stay away. By the way the prices at Fortress are comparable if not more than US prices.... 

What to Pack  

Clothes

Clothes, Hong Kong

 23 Reviews  Best to bring a light sweater/jacket when visiting HK towards the end of the year as the weather is cooler even in the daytime. And if you're like me who gets cold ultra fast you'll need to wear a light sweater/jacket constantly. 

Off The Beaten Path  

Lantau Island

Lantau Island, Hong Kong

 47 Reviews  Going from Lantau Island to Hong Kong, you can either take the MTR or a taxi. The former will also use the bridge, though the scenery will not be that amazing as the train will go pass many beams and wires and thus, the scenery is all lost through these distractions. All of 2 km long, the Tsing Ma... 

Favorites  

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

 44 Reviews  It might happen that the Q for the Victoria Peak is really long. Depending on your plans and on your budget, pass the line on the left and proceed to the counter of Madame Tussaud. I noticed a board telling about a package. Which means you buy a ticket for Madame Tussaud and the Victoria Peak and...
