Going to Hong Kong for a vacation and need help choosing fun things to do there?

Stargirl asked:
I’m going to be going to Hong Kong for vacation and I was just wondering what kind of fun things there are to do around there. Little, tourist-y things would be great.
I can’t drink yet, so bars and clubs aren’t really an option for me. Tourist attractions!
What if I want to go shopping for the cheap knock off they have in Hong Kong? Where can I find those? Also, who has been there on a vacation before and what was their experience like? Dirty? Fun? Entertaining?

i live in hong kong and i know alot of fun places you can go.
Ocean Park – alot of rides and stuff etc. roller coaster LMAO
er…not sure if you want to go to disney land, it’s pretty damn boring (i’m 14)
causeway bay, central IFC for shopping
LKF – bars and clubbing stuff (only for 18+)
The Peak – you can see the whole of HK harbor. there’s a wax house there. pretty cool
er….if you like to gamble…you can also go to Macau. haha
sorry don’t bother to type so much. i have hwk.
You could go to Stanley Market on the south of HK island. That is very touristy.
There is also Temple Street night market in Kowloon
Visit the Big Buddha at Po Lin Monastery on Lantau island.
Ocean Park and the Peak as have already been mentioned
Eating is a popular pass time there are loads of good restaurants. See:
A LOT to do:
Take a peak tram to the top of Victoria Peak and enjoy the scenery of the harbor;
Take the Star Ferry with HKD 3 to experience the local transport;
Visit Stanley market;
Take the trolley through the skyscrapers in Central;
Lights show at 8 p.m. every night;
The Cantonese food of course.
Ned Kelly’s Last Stand A really good bar to go for pre-partying. Located on Ashley road parallel to the famous Nathan road on Kowloon side, it’s an Australian themed jazz bar with great food and good live music almost every night starting at 21-22, which is about when the happy hour ends. The place is laid out with long tables where total strangers can sit together, it’s quite big with the frequent visitors to Hong Kong such as travelling businessmen and the art-community.
Sticky Fingers The awesomest place around? Who knows, but its a nice place to get some women and listen to a great house-band play live rock music on stage. The drinks are pretty good too.
Knutsford Terrace is a popular drinking and dining spot in Kowloon but there are many other places in and around Tsim Sha Tsui. Some of them can get pretty expensive though – up to 50HK$ for a drink in some places.
Joe Bananas A wonderful place located on Lockhart road, where the drinks are friendly and the women are cheap (or was it the other way around?).
Skitz Sports Bar A bar with a good selection of drinks with 2 pool tables, darts and large selection of sports on big screens.
Armani Bar A more upscale bar with great house music in a trendy indoor setting as well as an outdoor section.
Red Bar A mostly outdoor bar at the top of the IFC building (in Central) that usually hosts big events such as on New Years Eve and more.
Blues by the Bay Located on the Avenue of the Stars one would tend to have a drink there while watching the Symphonie of Lights. But the drinks and cocktails in this bar can not be recommended, since the quantities are very small compared to what you would expect for the price.
