I love HK - living in Shenzhen, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump away. I feel like there's tons of things to do - big buddha, tower peak, ocean park, disneyland, spotting pink dolphins, eating, shopping. Plus so many more people speak English!
Insider Tip:Use the public transit - between the metro and the bus you can get almost anywhere. If you choose to go by cable car to see the big buddha, it will take time! I went on a weekday in the morning and waited to buy a ticket. We bought the glass bottom round trip and I'm so glad we did! On the way home it was cold and the line for the standard car trailed into the middle of the village whereas the line for the glass bottom car was only a handful of people long.

We booked a double bed room. Our room was in another house than the reception. - new renovated - rain shower - very clean - a kitchen, which was used by 5 rooms - nearto the metro station - nice stuff - small bed (normal for HK) Would recommend it to everybody.
As this is my second trip here, I didn't do the usual sights, although I visited the Peak and took the double decker tram. Some suggestions for second timer are to explore places outside the main city area like Shek O beach, Sai Kung, Tai O as these places show another side of Hong Kong and may change visitor's view of Hong Kong.
Insider Tip:It would be worthwhile to find a Hong Konger before you come to the city to show you around so that he/she can show the life of typical Hong Konger and you can understand and appreciate the culture and lifestyle better.
The heat, the fast peace, the smells, the language, culture mix and blillions of hanging lights on the streets are a bit too much for the first day, but once you start learning your way arround it's just amazing all the things the city has to offer. The uniqueness of this city is in my opinion the contrast between asia (I've been all over SE Asia) and the developed western. Street fly markets and bargains all over between jaw-dropping buildings, excellent transport and public services and more!
Insider Tip:Gear up with a nice camera in your first day (Stanley st and Ablieu St) and then knock yourself out with all the city has to offer.
