Travelling around is easy using the MTR. There's a dessert shop near the Hard Rock Cafe which has mouthwatering dessert. The chinese name is Tang Chao, meaning the Sweet Dynasty. However, you must be patient, as there's always a queue. But it's worth the wait.
For those with kids, there's a Toy Shop at No 8, Queen's Road Central, near the Central MTR Station. They stock a lot of books by Usbourne, DK, Walker etc.
Generally, Hong Kongers are quite friendly and helpful and the transport system is very efficient.

Excellent goose restaurant on Hankow Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Spartan, down at heel, rude service, however unsurpassable poultry. Don't do a HKTB tour unless you're very short on time, or positively like tours. Everything is accessible by public transport. Our tour of the New Territories was OK - however we thought that we wouldn't be able to do it ourselves, and were probably mistaken. The money would have been better spent at a nice restaurant.

We had a surprise find across the hotel, on the other side of Nathan Road. A traditional store selling economical and great fish belly porridge. Store located along Ning Po Road. Porridge is very sweet from rich stock, and chockful of fresh fish belly. Careful about the bones though.

Location is superb. 2 minutes walk to Jordan MTR and A21 bus-stop directly to Airport. Excellent food (tortoise jelly and congee) at Parkes Street, behind hotel. 3 minutes walk to Temple Street - excellent bargain hunting. Would recommend hotel to budget conscious travellers.

If you are visiting HK for more than 1 day, try getting an Normal Optopus card instead cost HK$150 (HK$50 as deposits) as you can used in most of the transportation, ie MTR, bus, ferry, peak tram, minivan, McDonald, 7-Eleven for food etc. Min Top up is around HK$100 in MTR station HK$50 at 7-Eleven. Airport express shuttle bus costing HK$100/pax is another good option as it stops/fetches you directly from major hotels, however it takes around 45min-1hr. I took it and for me it goes to 3 hotel destinations in Wanchai region. You can see the suspended bridge if you took the bus but not the MTR/express train from airport.

Head for the MTR and buy an Octopus card to get around cheaply and easily. 'Sweet Dynasty' on the Canton road is a restaurant worth visiting. Middle-range prices and quick service even though a very popular place. BP is very near to the Temple street night market, Tin Hau Temple [also on Temple Street], Kowloon park - great for early morning tai chi, shops and the MTR. Good place to be. See all you can and enjoy HK.

Stayed at Wesley, The - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Hot tip: If you decide to take the Peak Tram up to the Peak, it will drop you off in the Peak Tower. Walk across the street from the Peak Tower the the other building. It is higher and its roof deck offers MUCH better views than the Peak Tower! PLUS, there are much fewer people up there.

Hong Kong is a fun place. Visit all their tourist attractions. Try visiting Dickson factory outlet, Esprit factory outlet and places like Cheung Sha Wan, Sham Shui Po, you maybe able to get cheap and quality goods instead of those selling at shopping malls or DFS. When visiting Hong Kong, try to eat at their "teahouse" which serves very authentic local food. A must try food - "dim sum".

Stayed at Newton Inn North Point - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

I traveled to Hong Kong to marry my wife, who lives and works there. We traveled mainly by train, ferry, bus and tram(trolley). Hong Kong has the best available public transportation that is second to none in the world! We spent our honeymoon at North Point Newton Inn. We visited Central, Discovery Bay, Tung Chung and North Point. We also visited the US Consulate, the Philippine Consulate, numerous shopping malls, experienced many restauraunts and a night club. Hong Kong is a travelers dream, go and explore it!
