Hong Kong- can you help?

Its been awhile since I've spent any time in Hong Kong, but I've usually stayed in the Wan Chai or Causeway Bay areas, which for me were decently located. As for food, the Luk Yu Tea House in the Central area is a great spot for dim sum. Perhaps other posters will have more to add.

Thank you, Greg. I looked at both areas and they look great.

Agree with Greg. It was a number of years ago for us, but we also stayed in Wan Chai/Causeway Bay. When we went to the Kowloon side, where a lot of hotels are, we were very glad we were not staying there. We rented an apartment in Causeway Bay, because there were four of us (myself, my husband, and two of our kids).

My absolute favourite site was the Nan Lian Gardens and Chi Lin Nunnery (they are adjacent) on the Kowloon side. There's a little cafe behind the waterfalls in the gardens. https://www.discoverhongkong.com/us/interactive-map/chi-lin-nunnery-and-nan-lian-garden.html

Also on the Kowloon side, there's the Hong Kong version of the Walk of Fame, and that same area is a good spot for watching the light show on the buildings across the harbour, although you can also view it from Wan Chai. https://www.tourism.gov.hk/symphony/english/details/details.html

Finally, on the Kowloon side, you might want to visit the Ladies' Market in Mon Kok.

We took a junk ride on the "Dukling" on one of our trips across the harbour. It's touristy, but fun. https://www.dukling.com.hk/en/home/

The Peak Tram (Hong Kong side) is a don't miss. There's a nice little walk at the top, too. https://www.thepeak.com.hk/en You might also enjoy Victoria Park. For shopping, Island Beverly is a different experience, and Sogo is a Japanese department store (that had a cafe in the basement that served a decent breakfast when we were there). There's also a huge mall at Times Square. https://www.discoverhongkong.com/uk/interactive-map/island-beverley.html

We enjoyed dim sum at two different places in Wan Chai, but I've forgotten the names. We got street food a couple of times, too, and it was delicious.

Another popular area to visit is Aberdeen. https://hongkongcheapo.com/locations/hong-kong-island/aberdeen/ I was planning to go there on our last day, but two of us caught the flu, and we ended up spending the day in bed, instead.

An Octopus card offers a convenient way to get around by transit. You can even take the Airport Express Train right into downtown Hong Kong. https://hongkongcheapo.com/getting-around/hong-kong-airport-to-causeway-bay/ You can use the card on the airport train, the MTR (metro), buses, and even the Star Ferry. It's easy to take transit in Hong Kong, because the announcements are also in English. (At least they were when I was there, when Hong Kong was still a British colony.)

You can actually walk from the top station of the Peak Tram to Aberdeen (90 minutes or so)- one of quite a few walks from the Peak, all of which are wonderful walks. I used to do that every fortnight for the sake of it on the way to our Aberdeen office- took the first ferry over to Central, then the first tram up, the intention to be in the office by around 9am.

Then the bus direct back to Central (the sensible and quick way).

It's also fun to walk part way up (or down) the tramway route and catch the Peak tram at one of the 4 intermediate request stop stations- which are mainly there for the use of the locals.

Another of the walks is down to the mid levels Escalators - a whole transit system of open air escalators- they link in to the Central Elevated Walkways- a footbridge network around Central.

When will you visit Hong Kong? It's very muggy in its long summer. Their cool season is very short.

On the contrary, almost all indoor places have AC.

Early April.
Glad to get so many recommendations for places to see.

BB had some great recommendations.
