What can't you do in HK?
Recommend the Mandarin Cafe for dinner.
Also Felix restaurant at the Peninsula (Tsim Sha Tsui) - but book early so you can see the sun go down & the lights come up.
Also Regent Hotel (TST) for afternoon tea and 'sun down lights up' experience.

Must do(s):
1) Have yum cha for breakfast.
2) Take ferry to the Kowloon side and spend a day shopping along Nathan Road and Harbour City Shopping Mall (largest in HK).
3) While in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, visit the Peninsula Hotel.
4) Take ferry (central) back to HK island and go to the tram terminal for a nice ride up Victoria Peak. Have pre-dinner drinks up the peak and watch the sunset and the colorful lights below light up.
5) Dinner at Yung Kee restaurant, located near Lan Kwai Fong.
5) After dinner, party into the night at Lan Kwai Fong if you are not knackered by then!

For nightlife I recommend a visit to Lan Kwai Fong or Wan Chai which both have a wide variety of bars. Ebeneezers Kebab shop is recommended if you feel hungry after (or during) a night out in Wan Chai.

The Airport Express has got to be the easiest way to get into the city. It gives some great views and takes about 15-20 minutes to get to HK island. If you get the chance definately definately definately ride the trolly cars. You get a great view of the city like you do out of the busses, but you have more time to observe and experience the city. And the fact that it's only $2HKD is nice. Just make sure you enter in the back and pay once you get OFF at the front of the trolly car.
Lesson learned from personal experience. We watched a movie in the Times Square area, it was in English with Chinese subtitles and provides a great way to escape the heat and kill some time if you don't know what to do. Make sure that if you're watching an early movie, don't pick a seat in the middle (they are pre-assigned) take one off to the side. There is no stadium seating and you won't have to compete with peoples heads to see the movie.
And for those of you looking for a good Dim Sum restaurant, they are not on ground level, so if you're feeling brave, try walking up some staircases if you see what looks to be a restaurant on the second or third level of a building. With over 6000 of them in HK alone, you're bound to find at least ONE doing this.

Hong Kong was fantastic - an excellent and cheap public transport system ensures you can get about and see the sights with minimum fuss and at a low cost though Taxis are very reasonable too. Night life is superb with Lan Kwai Fong sporting some super bars and excellent places to eat in Soho. A 'must' would be 'Jaspers' excellent a la carte menu with super prices. Wan Chai provides some other good pubs but be wary of the clubs - a club has a different meaning in Hong Kong to the UK!!!!

Public transport in Hong Kong is excellent, very cheap and buses are every few minutes. Ferries also excellent value. Places to visit: Macau, Lantau, Lamma and Chung Chau, Stanely Market, Cat Street. We ate at the Bohemian Lounge, Old Bailey Street, one night (live jazz and a 4 course meal for 220 HK dollars - excellent). Nepal on Staunton street also very good. We also went to Life (off the escalator) lovely vegetarian food, but expensive and not brilliant service.

Lan Kwai Fong is the party district to go in Hong Kong. Partying starts on Thursday nites right up to Saturday nites...there are all types of bar and discos there with a good mix of people. There are many expats and foreigners, giving it an international and metropolitan atmosphere.
