Hong Kong itineraries
Peak to Night Market in a Day
Dim sum at nine, the Peak Tram, the SoHo slopes, a Star Ferry crossing, then the 8 pm light show and a night market. The one-day loop everyone keeps recommending, and for good reason.
One Night in TST, Both Shores
Day one on the Kowloon side for museums and the night view, day two across the water for the Peak and the old streets. Stay in Tsim Sha Tsui and the Star Ferry becomes your commute.
Two Nights in Sheung Wan
Old lanes on day one, the Peak plus Kowloon's museums and night view on day two, Lantau's Big Buddha and stilt village on day three. From Sheung Wan, half of it is on foot and half by tram.
