Hi all,
My husband's daughter is arriving in town on Sat for 10days.
So far we've decided on a daytrip to Mongkok, one to Shenzhen, Stanley Markets and a tram ride up to the Peak.
We're new in town and haven't even scratched the surface of HK's attractions yet. Please, we're looking for suggestions to fill up the itinerary.
We're all active, love walking, love exploring.
We're hoping to find activities that are a little different from the average tourist trap. Please, all suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
Kim

these walks are great, well worth doing one rather than just a trip to Mongkok market for example - you see so much more and still get to shop.

Buy the book called "Hong Kong for Kids". Don't be put off by the name, it's for everyone. It's the best investment you can make when first arriving. It covers everything from amusement parks, to shopping, markets, etc., Hiking, beaches, museums, everything you can think of. It's available at both Dymocks and Page One.
A trip down to TST at night will be good and wander through the throngs of people and the over the top christmas lights.
Lan Kwai Fong one night, as you mentioned she is 18, so maybe take her out for dinner and then a walk through there to see the nightlife.

Thanks Aimee, 9-11 and neenib.
You've all been very helpful. LKF will be her introduction on Sat night, she's a bit of a livewire and should enjoy it! (If not, the beers she begs out of her father)
I'll have tohead out to pick up the book today, it sounds as though hubby and I will get some mileage out of it as well.
Does anyone know where we might be able to escape the madness of maids day off on Sunday? We're living in CWB, sundays are a little crazy here! Stanley?
Cheers,
Kim

Try Shek O or Big wave bay!

If you go to Stanley on Sunday, be sure to get there early, it gets busy with the tourist buses by about 11am. We usually drive and arrive by 9-9.30am, shop around, then have an early lunch at a restaurant.
Big Wave Bay is good also, especially if you have kids. Or just drive around and take in the sites. When we have free weekends, we pile up the kids and get in the car and just drive.

What about going over to one of the islands ... Cheung Chau is always a favourite with my family and all our visitors ... You can have a walk around, then enjoy a great seafood lunch or dinner afterwards with a few nice cold beers! Very cheap too!
Temple Street Night Market ... Sampan ride around Aberdeen Harbour ... Big Buddha ... Sunday Champagne Brunch at one of the hotels ... Afternoon Tea at the Peninsula ....... Just a few ideas to be going on with:-)

A tram ride from Western Markets down to the east end if the Island is always a hit with our visitors, young and old. We love it as well.
The tram takes you through the upmarket areas to the really Chinese areas so you get to see many sides of HK on the one ride.
