Welcome to the Pearl of the Orient! Its stunning Victoria Harbour and The Peak have just been rated as Asia's No.1 skyline by a Japanese TV Station. The cheapest hotel is probably the Silvermine Bay Hotel overlooking a quiet beach in Lantau Island, around US$50 per night which is quite relax and gives a completely different impression of HK than the one often see in pictures. There's no roads that connect to the downtown core, you've to catch a ferry from the Central Pier right outside IFC Building to travel back and forth. The ferry trip takes about 20 minutes, a very nice ride if you like the sea and not in a rush. Other cheap places will be hostels which are located everywhere in the tourist hot spots.
HK has rich culture and history of a perfect blend of the west and east. Walk up the Escalator which begins from Central District and goes all the way up to the mid Levels. Along the Escalator you'll come across the early English settlement near Aberdeen Street, you'll also pass by Soho, South of Hollywood Rd which gives a very distinct bar and restaurant street. Hollywood Rd is famous for selling genuine Chinese antiques.
From Causeway Bay - Central District - Tsimshatsui District - Mongkok District along the MTR (subway) route are where most of the fascinating shoppings, restaurants, night life and gorgeous harbour view lies.
If you like green, sea and nature, and are not in a rush in going to places visiting one of the outlying islands. Another beautiful mountain and sea area is Sai Kung District, there's a Seafood Street where you can handpick life seafood, have the restaurant cook them any way you like and enjoy it in front of the sea. There're many beautiful mountain trails in Hong Kong, there's one that goes all the way down to Aberdeen from the Peak. It'll take more than an hour to walk down. In Aberdeen District (you could also take a bus in Central, Causeway Bay or Wanchai Districts to get there), the boat restaurant "JUMBO" lying out in the sea is quite amusing.
HK is renowned as the world's shopping and dining paradise. You can eat like a billionaires, in the same token there're many affordable places with unbelivable prices. HK has the cheapest MacDonald's prices on earth. A Cantonese wonton noodle soup is only around HK$12 - 15 depending on location. A popular Chinese fast food chain all over the city, the De Coral Fast Food, with set meals under HK$30.
Buying brand names is popular in HK since there's zero sales tax nor import tariffs, brand names are often 10% - 50% cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Street vendors or flea markets is another interesting shopping paradise, they have all sorts of products selling at knockoff prices, eg the Ladies Street, the evening Temple Street vendors in Kowloon side, Stanley Market etc. Small street shops in Mongkok and Causeway Bay Districts may give you surprises too. There're also many street vendors located in small side streets of Central District, Wan Chai District, near Johnston Road and Causeway Bay District, opposite to Sogo in the other side of the Henessy Road, that sell factory exports "left-overs". Most prices in HK are fixed, you may be able to bargain a few $ though in small shops and street vendors. You will hardly find any fakes or copies in HK as the law enforcement is rather strict.
Everywhere in HK is well connected by its efficient and timely public transportation system, the MTR (subway), big & mini buses. Cost is from under US$1 - $2 per ride. It's easiest to travel by MTR which runs pass all the central shopping and business districts, then either connect to a bus or walk to your destination. Separate fares are charged for each ride. Star Ferry that crosses the Victoria Harbour, and the Island Tram that runs from the East (Shaukeiwan District) to the West (Kennedy Town) of the HK Island are only HK$2 per ride which is a must for most tourists. If you like exploring on your own, simply follow the map, people on the streets always happy to offer directions. HK is one of the most foreigner-friendly cities on earth, plus lots of fun and excitment, visitors often find the place the most vibrant, exciting city that never sleeps, even when you get bored at 3 AM, you could go and have a drink in the bar or even have a delicious late snack. Convenience Stores are located in almost every corner of the main streets and are opened around the clock. The best of all, HK is extremely easy to get around being supported by affordable and well connected public transportation. Many Hongkongers are very responsive, efficient and persistent in their work that make shopping, dining or doing business a very wonderful experience. You'll also notice that Hongkongers will automatically stand by the side when walking up and down the stairs and escalators, not blocking people behind, which many Asian places are now following suit. In brief, HK is a fun place to be in, there's always so much happenings around 24/7. Check ww
