I agree with everything that Scott says....plus:
- Go to Aberdeen to see the floating sampan city...
- Go to the Jumbo floating restaurant....a tourist trap, but a curiosity
(not to be missed!)
- Go to the night-time flea market ("Thieves Market")
- Take the Star Ferry to Victoria, then take the tram out to the very
end of the line....you'll see a side of Hong Kong which tourists do
not usually see!
- Try "Beggar's Chicken" -- chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, then baked
in clay! You break it open with a hammer, when it's brought to your
table!
I wish I were going with you!
