Hello

I love Hong Kong -- it was one of my first experiences of a "different" culture to England. I was lucky enough to go and work there when I was 20.

Anyway, have a look here: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/uk/

I would recommend The Peak, Stanley Market, Temple Street Night Market, Mong Kok, Lantau (for the Buddha), going to see a snake shop (if it's in season).

Have fun!

What he said, but if yr after a day on the beach, go to Repulse Bay, its lovely

philc

- was there for 4 days about 6 weeks ago and thought the place rocked.

can only comment on Kowloon as that's all I managed to see - Nathan Road and the shopping malls are excellent; the night market just off Nathan Road, Ladies Market - wall to wall street stalls and shops, Apliu Road in the New Territories for electrical and car stuff, History Museum for a bit of culture and definitely the harbour at night especially when the light show is going.

enjoy.

Thanks for the advice. Well looking fwd to it.

Any good nightclubs/bars to go to as well? Not into hard house or heavy metal/rock, just chill out/motown/good music!!

And does anyone know where the best/best value tailors. Want a nice tailor made suit for a wedding. Also the Missus wants a nice outfit made.

Get the tram up to the Peak

Get out and go into the visitors centre at the top of the line..

The first shop you come to is a tailors (on the right hand side as you enter the small shopping centre)

My wife bought a stunning dress and the 'off the peg' Mandarin suits were very

Sure there are better bargains to be had from back-street tailors but I'll be damned if I could give you directions

You'll love Hong Kong

Phil, suits you! Thanks for the advice. How much does an "average" suit cost?

philc

without looking at my visa statement, I think the whole deal cost (suit / 2 pr trousers / 2 silk ties / 2 hnadmade shirts) about 3,800HKD (?275 pounds)
