What dates are you looking at?
A quick check next November I see direct flights around $1700, and the cheapest one-stop being on Air New Zealand stopping in AKL at around $1400.
A HKG stopover would be a nice option; travel time is a lot longer but if you want to see HKG, go for it. If you connect straight through in HKG, it will be quite a long journey.
