Top Attractions

	Ocean Park Located on the south end of Hong Kong Island, the Ocean Park is among the top theme parks and aquariums in Southeast Asia, as well as the best marine education center, which makes it a must for families with children. With an area of 170 acres, it's one of the largest ocean parks in the world.
	Victoria Bay Situated between the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong, Victoria Bay is the largest harbour in China and the third in the world, following San Francisco of the United States and Re de Janeiro in Brazil. The Harbour bustles with all manner of watercraft – from the historic Star Ferries to cruise liners, cargo ships, and wooden fishing vessels day and night.
	Hong Kong Disneyland Located on the Lantau Island, the Disneyland Resort is a must-see because of its special attractions and the inimitable sense of Chinese culture. Come here, you can find the golden past and the glorious future! Accompanied by Mickey Mouse and other Disney friends, you start a fantastic and magical journey.
	Victoria Peak It's the best place from which to admire the lights of this Oriental Pearl. Peak Tower with its famous wok-like architecture stands at the exit of Peak Tram. The amazing Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium, the exciting Peak Explorer Motion Simulator, and relaxing terraces and restaurants are among the favorite stops at this entertainment center. Another favorite attraction is the Madame Tussaud Wax Museum with figures of celebrities including local movie star Jackie Chan. Additionally, on the northern hillside of the Peak, you can see the Zoological and Botanical Garden.
	Wong Tai Sin Temple Wong Tai Sin Temple, patterned after an ancient Chinese palace and rich in Chinese culture, is the most famous temple in Hong Kong. Fortunetellers are active there. Besides the Wong Tai Sin Temple, another two famous temples in Hong Kong are the Man Mo Temple and Po Lin Monastery.

Golden Bauhinia Square
Happy Valley
Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence
Lan Kwai Fong
Repulse Bay
Stanley
Wan Chai

Hong Kong Island, the heart of Hong Kong, is the center of economy, politics, entertainment and shopping. Two days is usually enough for tourists who want to see the main attractions on the island. From the Central District to Causeway Bay in Northern Hong Kong Island is the main commercial, shopping and entertainment area; the residential area is from Tin Hau to Chai Wan on the eastern part of the island; and Southern Hong Kong Island is the recreational area, where visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the sea shore and bays.

Kowloon Peninsula

Hong Kong Coliseum
Kowloon Park
Museums in Kowloon
Star Ferry
Temple Street
Tsim Sha Tsui

Kowloon Peninsula, which links Hong Kong Island to Chinese mainland, offers yet another view of this exciting part of China. It’s encircled by the Victoria Harbour on the east, south and west sides. As the same as the Hong Kong Island, Kowloon is an indispensable part to form the prosperous downtown Hong Kong. Allow at least one full day to experience its sparkling delights, including Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok. The Star Ferry can be both inexpensive and romantic. For shutterbugs, a ride on the ferry provides the optimum angle from which to snap fantastic views of the harbor.

The New Territories and Outlying Islands

Cheung Chau Island
Hong Kong Wetland Park
Lamma Island
Lantau Island
Mai Po Natural Reserve
Ngong Ping 360
Sai Kung Peninsula
Shatin

The New Territories covers the most area of Hong Kong. It's made up of two parts, including the land connecting with the Kowloon Peninsula and the 223 outlying islands. In the past, the New Territories was once fairly rural, undeveloped parts of Hong Kong, and there are still many areas where visitors can see villages that have remained unchanged for centuries. Today, Shatin and Tuen Mun in the New Territories and Tung Chung on the Lantau Island are well-developed.

Ms.benben,

The TVB City is not open to the public. You are not allowed to get in without valid identification.
How to get there:
Take No. 797M bus at Tiu Keng Leng or Tseung Kwan MTR Station and get off at Chun Wang street. Then walk 3 to 5 minutes to TVB City.

Hi! My family (with mom, 2 siblings, aunt and cousin) will be visiting Hong Kong for the 1st time this Feb.25-28, 2010 (4D/3N). I'm in charge of the itinerary and I have doubts with what I have prepared so far. We'll be staying at the Evergreen Hotel. Here is our itinerary:

Day1:Disneyland
Temple Street Night Market (since it's near our hotel)

Day 2: Ocean Park until 4-5pm
Tsim Sha Tsui/Avenue of the Stars to watch A Symphony of Lights
Lan Kwai Fong to experience the night life

Day 3: Macau

Day 4: Shopping & visiting tourist attractions (our flight is 12mn so we have almost the whole day)
We would like to visit:
----Wong Tai Sin Temple
----Ladies' Market
----Nathan Road/Tsim Sha Tsui Shops
----Victoria Peak
----Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum
----Stanley Market
----Causeway Bay
----Ngong Ping 360

My questions are:
1. Is my itinerary possible considering the time constraints?
2. Can anyone recommend where else to go for our last day? Like where's the best place for shopping and the best tourist attractions. And directions would be really helpful.
3. What's the weather like in late February and what clothes to bring?

Thanks a lot!

No.1 Take Airport shuttle A21 and get off at Miramar Hotel bus stop.
No.2 Take MTR at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station and get off at Lai King Station. Then transfer to Tung Chung Line and get off at Sunny Bay station. And then take Disneyland Resort Line to Disneyland.
No.3 Take Tsuen Wan Line at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station and get off at Admiralty and get out at Exit B. Then turn left to take No. 629 bus to Ocean Park.

Of course you can buy octopus card. You can buy it at the Airport Express Tourist Center after you get off the plane.
