Ive been to Hong Kong a few times on business and it was a really fantastic place, loads of fun, and I hardly slept!

Whilst you are there make sure you go over to the peak .... theres a train that runs up there and the views are staggering .... take the Star Ferry to the island, it costs pennies.

Go to the Jumbo floating Restaurant, its a sight to see, the foods good, and you can dress up in local costume and have your photo taken if you wish!

The mid level escalators give you a really unusual views of the place as you travel on an escalator from the park right up through the city

And the Wan Chai street market ...... try haggling!

I stayed in Tsim Sha Tsui at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsular ... very central for everything - Hotel Miramar Hotel Miramar Hong Kong : Hong Kong Hotel

A really good site for all attractions is

I used to go in October and that was a reasonable climate
