Stayed at Bishop Lei International - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Because I was only in HK for a very short time this visit (I only stayed one night) and because my visit coincided with a typhoon alert, my movements and activities were very much restricted this time round. But being stranded in mid-levels is not a hardship. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants locally.

Stayed at Stanford Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Stanford Hotel is a convenient location for walking around the busy heart of Hong Kong. It is a little far from the Star Ferry terminal, but still within walking distance.
Close to bars, restaurants and night life - which is what I wanted : )

Stayed at Regal Hongkong Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
I have lived in Hong Kong before, so not much sightseeing. Must go on Lockhart Road, and party at all the clubs, if you are still living it up at 3am then head to Dusk till Dawn and finish off the night until 6am.
All Hawker places serve nice food, get a local that can speak reasonable english to order for you.

Local travel;
Use the MRT if possible, taxis are also good and the Star Ferry a must when crossing Victoria Harbour. Buses are also good and cheap but can get stuck in traffic and are therefore slow in town.
ATM Cash Machines;
Readily available.
Restaurants;
Literally the greatest range that I know anywhere in the world. If you can't find something you like you should have stayed at home. Breakfast at the Peninsula Hotel is expensive but unbeatable. Lunch or afternoon tea at the Peak Cafe and dinner at Jimmy's Kitchen are also highly recommended. For classic pub grub try Ned Kelly's Last Stand in TST or The Old China Hand in Wanchai.
Club and Bar Areas;
Wanchai, Lan-Kwai-Fong and SOHO are all highly active. Favourite bars are The Smuggler's Inn at Stanley, Ned Kelley's Last Stand in TST, Dublin Jack near the escalator and the SOHO Cafe in Tai Po.
Short Trips from Wanchai;
Noon day gun at Causeway Bay.
Tin-Hau temple near Victoria Park.
Take a tram ride, remember that this route use to be along the coast of HK island.
6A bus ride from Central to Stanley, get on the top deck and sit on the right hand side for good views and 'entertainment' as the bus goes along the twisty road.
Views over the harbour from the TST promenade at day and night.
Views from Victoria Peak (use the Peak Tram).
