Well i'm 21 yrs old and hopefully can offer a little advice for the yong men visiting hongkong.
I have just returned from 3 nights in HK and absolutely loved it.
OK club/bar wise the Lan Kwai Fong area is really cool. It's on HK island about a 10 min taxi journey from the peak. Our taxi wasn't expensive at all. It is really cheap to get around, well compared to England! The area is basically a street full of bars, the atmosphere is really good, we went on a Sat and the street was full of people drinking outside the bars. A lot of the bars had dance floors and live bands also. For more info you can go on www.lankwaifong.com
I have heard Disney isn't all that but i have not been myself. I visited Ocean Park, I was on a limited time scale so i basically went to see the panda's and have a quick walk round. The cable cars there look good and you would get a good view of Hk Island from them. I paid just over 200 HKD to get in and i got a taxi from central MRT (tube) station for about 70 HKD. It would be a little cheaper maybe getting the MRT to admirality then getting a taxi.
My fave day out was the Giant Buddha and monastery on Lantau. I got the MRT to Tung Chung on Lantau Island then the number 23 bus to the Buddha (about 1 hour as they are widening the road so only 1 lane on some parts) I reccomend you set off early to do this, i left my hotel in Kowloon at 7.15am and was at the buddha at 9.40am. I spent a few hrs there but as i was leaving it was getting really busy and the queue for the bus the get there looked really long as i walked past it on the way back. As you get back to Tung Chung there is also a shopping 'outlet' center there so discounted things which is worth a look round.
If you like markets Stanley market and the Ladies market is great and if you want some jade, there is a jade market nr the ladies one.
1. Alcohol is a must for dinner at Miao family. If a guest can accept it, the host will feel flattered. Even if you cannot drink, you may taste or sip a little bit to show your respect to the host; otherwise it would be regarded impolite;
2. Elders are highly respected. For an extended family, young couples should not be too intimate in the public;
3. White rooster shall never be a gift;
4. Never tramp on the iron triangle in the oven;
5. The grass hung on the doorway indicates there is someone ill at home and guests are not welcome.
