Hong Kong is far and away my favorite city in the world. Are you there on vacation?

Awesome! I’m jealous, I was toying about going back this year, but I just don’t have the time.
Make sure you take the tram/funicular up Victoria Peak. The queues can suck, but it’s a fun ride and the view is amazing (I would suggest walking back down rather than taking the tram).
Don’t forget to use the Mid-Levels escalators and walk around some of the skyways around Central.
One of my favorite bars in the world is Ned Kelly’s Last Stand in Kowloon, which I highly, highly recommend. (Just don’t engage with anyone on the street at night, unless you’re actually looking for cocaine, fake rolexes, and hookers).

Thanks for the recommendation! I already had many many offers for fake watches near Kowloon park. Is illegal to buy counterfeit products here, right? I will surely visit Victoria Peak. We only have 2 days to visit, so we’ll make the most of of them. Would you recommend the hop on hop off buses?

I don’t think I ever rode one. I mostly just used the subway (which is great, but just as importantly, is orderly even when it’s packed, which having lived in Manhattan for years, is beautiful) and walked, because I really like waking.
I don’t know about counterfeits, per se, but I would advise not buying any “ivory” trinkets on Hollywood Road (although it’s fun to shop), since they’re 1) illegal to bring into the U.S, 2) probably fake, 3) wrong if they’re not fake.

Subway it is then! We’ll have fun. Thanks for the help!
