This the point to get on the Peak Tram. Quite a cool ride up to The Peak, but the queues can be ridiculously long, sometimes an hour or more. There seems to be no rule for when it is busy and when it is not. Definitely an iconic thing, but I would suggest either hiking up to the peak or getting the 15 bus (http://www.hk-victoria-peak.com/bus-15-peak.html).

Shopping

This building used to be the Police Married Quarters, now it's full of boutique shops, a few cafes and bars, and sometimes it hosts art events. It's on the way to SoHo as well.

Famous market street. Sells a lot of tat, but at night the restaurants near by pour onto the street, serving up Chinese food and seafood fresh from tanks. Bustley atmosphere

Originally designed to feel like an opium den, they've pushed the boat out a little bit more now and have live performers that interact with guests most nights.

Red Bar is on a rooftop with views across the harbour. The seating area here is public, so you can actually bring your own drinks and sit with the view. You don't need to pay the bars

Beautiful vegetarian restaurant in the garden of a nunnery, behind a waterfall. The garden is very relaxing, and there's a big temple next to it too.

Lebanese food, I suppose. The halloumi is incredible and surprisingly so is the cauliflower. They do take away wraps downstairs or eat in upstairs.
