Thank you all for the information. I have a few more questions.

1. From Star Ferry Central side to the IFC - it is walkable, correct? The two places look very close, but I just want to confirm.

2. From IFC to the Peak Tram location, the Peak Tram website says to take Mini Bus 1 from "Central(Two IFC) to The Peak". Where is this? Should I just call a cab since it's not a very far ride?

3. I plan to spend a few hours of the afternoon at Victoria Peak, and photograph the skyline at sunset and when it gets dark. Is there a good place to do dinner solo at the Peak, or should I return to Central/TST for food?

4. Speaking of returning from Victoria Peak... What's the quickest way down?


I am in HK for almost 4 days, and I feel like there isn't a ton to do. I am very familiar with big Chinese cities and have visited many of them, that and living ~10 years in NY, HK just doesn't seem to fascinate me as much as if I were a small town person.

Anyway, here is my 4 day itinerary, is this too little to fill up my day with?

Day 1, Friday
Arrive at HKG at 8PM, cab to IC
Where to find dinner?
Wander around Ave of Stars/photography time
Day 2, Saturday
Chungking mansion for breakfast
Wander around Nathan road aimlessly
Wander around Ave of Stars/photography time
Lunch at Yan Toh Heen (at IC)
Afternoon shopping at Harbor City (I have quite a bit to buy!)
Dinner somewhere at Harbor City
Wander around North Statue Square for Christmas display/photography time
Day 3, Sunday
No idea what to do for this day, taking recommendations
Maybe I'll do the champagne brunch at IC and see where my drunken self takes me?
Temple street markets at night
Day 4, Monday
Ferry to Central
Brunch at Tim Ho Wan
Wander aimlessly at IFC mall/photography time
Bus/tram to Victoria Peak
Exploring Victoria Peak
Sky Terrace 428 at sunset +/- 20 mins
Where to get dinner?
Recoup at IC
Symphony of Lights
Day 5, Tuesday
No idea what to do on this day, taking recommendations
Flight departs HK at 6PM (CX J, int'l) when should I leave for the airport if I want to explore the lounges/shops?

Comments and critiques much appreciated!
