We just returned from Hong Kong this weekend and we loved it all. Visiting the wet markets, the tai temple in Kowloon, Man Mo temple, a drink in the lounge or tea at 3:30 at the Four Seasons, just walking the streets of Soho, riding the ferry and don't forget to have some Dim Sum. The restaurants were great.

I put something in yesterday as a trip report, here is part of it, hopefully it will give you some ideas.
Just returned from a trip to Asia with a few days in Hong Kong.
This was our 4th time there and it just keeps getting better.
With the booming economy and special status for the city it has really been revitalized with a fantastic public transportation system, roads, housing, hotels and cultural institutions. It is densely populated but there is still a lot of green space spread out over many islands. And it is clean, orderly and safe ! Walking there is great but often you are not actually on the ground because in the central area it is so packed that sidewalks are above in elevated walkways, or through buildings, or underground.
This was our 3rd time staying at the Salisbury YMCA Hotel which is a good value and a fantastic location, by the waterfront in Kowloon, 10 minutes walk to the Star Ferry ( a must do experience).Our room, 1135 had a great view of the harbour looking across to the main island, perfect for viewing the 8:00 PM sound and light show (a must do).
On arrival at the airport we bought return tickets for the express train to downtown for $160HKD pp. from the information desk near the train boarding area. This is a great service and value, running every 5 minutes and takes only 21 minutes to Kowloon station where a complimentary shuttle bus brings you to your hotel door ! Also at this desk we purchased Octopus Cards good for the main transportation system, eg. MTR subway, buses, trams. These are good value and convenient as you just swipe on boarding but you have to pay a minimum $150HKD so if you are only taking a few trips it may be better to pay as you go. However we used up the remaining balance at a McDonalds and 7-11.
We went all the way around the main island using the subway then double decker buses for a really good 3 hour tour costing about $4.00. We started with the subway to Sai Wan Ho station then bus #14 to Stanley Market. Then took bus # 973 all the way back to our starting point, hotel in Kowloon . Try to sit on the upper level at the front for the best view, and the views are amazing, some lovely beaches, parks, hiking trails, and of course some busy streets.
As for food, you can get take out Chinese from a 7-11 and it is actually good ! For a treat we went to one of the top rated Chinese restaurants called Lung King Heen which was really special - barbecue pork to die for ! A few years ago Michelin Guides judged the restos in Hong Kong and Macau and rated many with 1, 2, or 3 stars. Compared to restos with similar ratings in Europe these are a bargain. The evening meal at Lung King Heen, a 3 star , for 2 cost $190 US including wine and we actually ordered too much. It is in the Four Seasons Hotel, with a nice ambience, great service, and beautiful setting looking out over the harbour to Kowloon. The food is Cantonese with many Hong Kong specialities and an extensive wine list.
For lunch we ate at Din Tai Fung , 30 Canton Rd. in Kowloon, which has 1 Michelin star, this was only $25USD for 2. Their specialty is dumplings, (xiao long ba) and they are delicious.
Another enjoyable experience for us (we are real foodies) was the City Super Store in the International Finance Centre in Central district. This is the same complex where the Four Seasons Hotel is and just a short walk from the Star Ferry Terminal. The store is a food supermarket with a lot of deli take out, wine , amazing selection of tea etc.etc. and all very high end goods.

Friendship_Bay, I really wish i knew how to help you, but it's such a personal thing.
The Tea Museum is not big and shouldn't take long. It is a museum and not another shop (hard to find something in Hong Kong that's not a shop!
) Like any museum, it does have some tea items for sale and they are the genuine article (thinking of the Yixing clay teapots here). It is a rather unique museum as I haven't seen too many other museums quite like it. There was a tea museum in Hangzhou, China. Hangzhou is a major tea producing area.
If you're anywhere near Hong Kong Park, you might want to stop for awhile in the Tea Museum. HK Park is an oasis amid all those skyscrapers. Maybe your husband could wander around the park and see some of the other attractions (believe there is an aviary in the park - or maybe not. Can't remember exactly, but there are other things to see in the park), while you visit the Tea Museum yourself.
Or could you visit it alone if your husband really doesn't want to see it?
Safe travels!

My first comment is that if you will be here on June 23, then head to Stanley for the dragon boat races. June 23 is a public holiday (Tuen Ng) and we honour the day with dragon boat races in various part of town, the easiest for you IMO is Stanley. Take the #6 (a great ride) and then follow the crowds. The beach area will be quite crowded, but festive, as will the waterfront restaurant area, but overall this just adds to the fun. You can watch the races, do some souvenir shopping and have a meal.
There will be many party boats “junks” all tied up together out in the water by the races, and little bumboats ferrying people out to them. Just get on one and head out to the party boats. They do not check for invitations or ID, so just hop on the ferry boat and go over to the party boats. From there, just go from boat to boat, enjoying the free flow of beer and wine. (If pressed, tell them you are looking for the HSBC boat or the JSL boat or whatever big corporate banner you see out there. If pressed further, say you are a friend of Niles. There is <i>always</i> a Niles….)
I personally don’t think the “day” trips to China will be worth anything. Going over the border to Shenzhen is not at all interesting, IMO. Guangzhou is somewhat interesting, but a long way to go for a day. Macau would be a good day trip, but you don’t need a tour for that. Otherwise, if you can be more specific about your interests, we might be able to give more specific reccos.
My personal top 10 for Hong Kong would be:
1. View from the Peak at dusk. If time allows before hand then doing the circuit down to Barker Road and up to Severn Road (about an hour). Taking the Peak Tram up or down is part of the fun too, although the #15 bus is pretty good as well, no lines, and 1/3 of the price.
2. Star Ferry ride, a billion dollar view for about US$.25 cents (and that’s First Class!!)
3. A visit to any local street market. Johnston Road in Wan Chai is good, as is the Graham Street/Peel Street area in Central or Bowrington Road in Causeway Bay.
4. A hike or walk. Hong Kong Island, Lantau, Lamma, the New Territories all offer good ones. On a clear day, a walk to see sunset from parts of the Peak is quite spectacular as well.
5. A visit to at least one temple. Wong Tai Sin in Kowloon to get your fortune told, Man Mo Temple in Hollywood Road, the utterly charming Lin Fa Kung in Lily Street in Causeway Bay, or any of the remote sea-side Tin Hau temples on outlying islands.
6. #6 Bus ride to Stanley, upper deck front row seat preferred. Lunch along the waterfront or a Lucy’s. A stop at the Tin Hau temple and the little Pak Tai temple out on the rocks. A little souvenir shopping as necessary.
7. A ride on the street tram for as long as you can, upstairs window seat. Bird’s-eye view of street life.
8. Afternoon Tea. The Peninsula, the Mandarin, Sevva restaurant or the Ritz-Carlton. The Ritz and Sevva have views, the Penn has the palm trees and orchestra, and the Mandarin has the Tai-Tais (i.e., the ladies who lunch).
9. A visit a museum or an evening at a concert, Chinese Opera or other cultural offering.
10. Eating. From Swatow to Scandinavian, you can literally get any kind of cuisine here, most of it very good, most of it not too expensive. Most of it on Hong Kong Island, most if it within about a 5-mile radius or less of the Star Ferry Pier.
You will notice shopping is not on this list. I actually think there are far better places to shop in Asia for unusual artifacts (like Bangkok and India) and that for clothing and housewares the US offers a far broader range of goods at better prices in most cases or better quality in others. There are some nice places for souvenirs, this is a good place for tea and some bargains can be had in jewelry, but otherwise I don’t think the shopping is anything to write home about or spend a lot of time doing as a tourist. (Asian furniture is a pretty good buy, especially in Macau, but not really feasible for most tourists when you figure in shipping.)
For a longer list of ideas, please search this board for my list of personal reccos called “Cicerone’s Reccos for What the Locals Do for Fun in Hong Kong (Hint: We DON’T Go to those Awful Night Markets....)” this should give you some ideas for what to do, including a list of walks and some sources for more walks. For a quick photo of one walk, click on my name above and see my profile. For a description of some of other favourite walks on Hong Kong Island, see my posts called “Cicerone’s Favourite Hong Kong Walks II: Paradise Found! From Happy Valley to Stanley in High Heels!

Lots of great suggestions already, but let me expand on some:
- The Peak Tram is worth taking. Lines can be long going up, so one may consider taking the #15 bus up and then use the Peak Tram to go down. Like Cicerone says, walk around The Peak, away from the mainland Chinese tourists who congregate around the Peak Tram terminal up there. Many nice paths from all directions with great views of HK Island, and very quiet and nice.
- When riding the Star Ferry between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, take the cheaper Second Class on the lower level. You can walk around the on the lower deck, unlike First Class where you need to stay in your seat. And you can see the crew throw the ropes, you can see the engine room, etc...
- My favorite recommendation for those having 2/3 of a day to the islands, is to take the ferry to Mui Wo, then bus to the fishing village to Tai O. Then bus up to Ngong Ping, have vegetarian lunch at Po Lin Monastery, and finally ride the NP360 cable car back down to Tung Chung. The cable car restarted today (4/5/12) after a two-month suspension. And the lines going down are usually much shorter than going up from Tung Chung.
- If you like interesting bus rides, one can get to Stanley Market by a different bus, #14, from the Sai Wan Ho MTR. It's scenic and part of the route goes over the main dam of the Tai Tam Reservoir. From Stanley, you can take #6 or other buses back to the city.
- There are still some walled villages and plenty of fairly interesting temples and ancestral halls in the New Territories. There are day tours to those, or if you do a little of homework and don't mind the heat in June, you can DIY by public transportation. I happen to live within 10-minutes walk to one of the most famous one - Kat Hing Wai in Kam Tin (accessible by the West Rail train). I can provide more info if requested.
- If you go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple, which is quite interesting, especially watching people worship; also go visit the Chi Lin Nunnery, just one MTR station away at Diamond Hill. Very nice new wooden architecture following the Tang Dynasty style (only a few exist in China today that date from that period), as well as the Nan Lian Garden across from the nunnery. It is a public garden, but managed by the nunnery. There's a nice vegetarian restaurant at Nan Lian Garden (reservations recommended for dinner).
- The Tramway is a nice and slow way to see parts of Hong Kong. Ride on the upper level, and I highly recommend riding the eastern or western ends of the line to see some less visited areas. If you ride the eastern end, you can just take the MTR back. For the western end, ride the Tramway back, or switch to buses.
- The Peak Tram is worth taking. Lines can be long going up, so one may consider taking the #15 bus up and then use the Peak Tram to go down. Like Cicerone says, walk around The Peak, away from the mainland Chinese tourists who congregate around the Peak Tram terminal up there.

>>>My husband booked hotel yesterday for Hong Kong in June.
I am curious what some of your favorite local must do's are.
And - any noteworthy side trips you enjoyed - done in one day.
Thanks!!<<<
Greetings Anne and congratulations on forthcoming Hong Kong stay. Will be interested in hearing more about your choice of hotel and ultimate HK impressions. Special part of the world; I never tire of travelling to that place for meetings.
Not much to add from the fine above thoughts, other than to give a bit of a heartfelt promotion of my current and primary Hong Kong business travel hotel, the Island Shangri-La. Most recent visit for meetings was last month. (If so inclined, my latest review of the property was recently published under my profile page.) Looking forward to returning to the Island SL for meetings in a few months; such wondrous staff and friends. (And certain rooms on certain floors with such sublime city/harbour views; rather pleasing on the eye.) Fine place (along with the Peninsula -- all too brief holiday weekend at that hotel a few years back and my only other Hong Kong establishment for overnight stays).
As for noteworthy one-day side trips, well, the following could be a bit of a budget buster, but the SIA Loyalist in me will give another (shameless) promo of a same-day turnaround flying Singapore Airlines to our sweet home of SIN and back. Trust me, it's happened before. Certain classes (and mileage/revenue runs) with those sensational crews; sweet rides, to be sure. (However, for your purposes, perhaps something a bit less strenuous.)
Wherever you stay - and whatever you do - enjoy Hong Kong,
macintosh (robert)

Am in HK right now....staying at the Shangri-La, and I highly recommend this lovely hotel. Of course the most gracious staff, fabulous views, wonderful lounge for tea or drinks watching the light come up late in the day. The rooms are superb. Location easy. Subway right next door gets you everywhere.
We took the tram from the Buddha yesterday. Definitely most enjoyable. Also I think the vegetarian lunch at the monastery was delicious. We were most delighted, and we eat Chinese food all the time.
