Morning all

I'm flying to Australia in July and have 5 hours in Hong Kong between flights. This is after I've taken the 2 hours I need to be back at the airport for check in

So - what can I do. What is that must do thing I can tick off. Food, sights, anything.

Thanks in advance smile

Three options I'd recommend

1 Take a taxi to Stanley Market for a couple of hours
2. Take the tram to The Peak, stunning views of Honkers and plenty of restaurants.
3. Go The Peninsular Hotel in Kowloon and have afternoon tea

just go to anywhere in kowloon, could be mong kok, jordan, tsim sha tsui or yau ma tei, and enjoy a good massage (with happy ending if you like).

Do this, you can see everything in Hong Kong from up here, assuming the fog has not rolled in.

Definitely won't be time for 1), and it's more traveling after a long journey.

The peak is ok, and the Peninsular is a good choice too, if you're there in the evening, go upstairs to Felix bar and have a pee, it's something rather special. wink

If you're only there a few hours and haven't been before, Star Ferry across the harbour to get the best views of the city.

What time of day are we talking about?
