Make sure to take the ferry for a cheap "harbor tour." Very inexpensive way to sail across and admire the harbor traffic.
One of the premier spots for high tea. Make sure to get reservations in advance. Really beautiful, historic hotel.
Highest hotel in the world. You can also get afternoon tea here -- very impressive spread. Alternatively, to get cheap access to the view you can buy a drink at the bar. Come at night too!
Take the tram and then make the nice little hike up for a beautiful view of Hong Kong. Classic tourist destination but must do on a nice day.
Also another great place to have afternoon tea. Must get a reservation to get a window seat. These book up fast so reserve in advance.
Lovely city park you can walk through for a respite from the hustle and bustle that is Hong Kong.
Watch the lightshow at night from the Avenue of the Stars. Make sure to get there early to get a good spot on the harbor.
Neat Apple store but only because it's suspended. Take a picture from across the street.
While there are a few locations, this one is quite central -- but beware, the wait can be long. Best to put your name down and go browse around and come back.
There are a few locations of Tim Ho Wan, but the original has a Michelin star and is crazy delicious. You must get the baked BBQ pork buns. Also very inexpensive dim sum.
One of many large shopping/dining complexes, but this is one of my favorites. Great food hall in the basement and lots of things to look at.
Nice place to learn about the seagoing nature of Hong Kong and its important place in international trade if you have 2-3 hours.
Unpretentious, good Hong Kong style good. Gets busy late at night since it's open 24 hours so many people come here after clubs/bars. But very decent food at good prices. Get the baked pork chop rice.
I believe there are a few locations of this too, but amazing noodles. Their wontons have only shrimp in them and are SO delicious. Always fresh too.
I believe one of the first 3-Michelin starred restaurants, and this is a splurge of course. Dim sum around lunch time is a little more affordable, but this is definitely much more high-end.
Lovely spot for scones and tea. Can get busy with Hong Kong hipsters so feel free to take away to a park.
Really good baos! And tons of variety -- something for everyone. You can mix and match and pick what you want, so it's a good spot to try a variety of different flavors.
