The Star Ferry from Kowloon and the tram up to Victoria Peak
The Buddha at Lantau
The Bird Market and the Flower Market next to it
Get a suit made down Nathan Road.
The laser show at the harbour at 8pm

That's for starters

Ladies Market, Temple St Market, Repulse Bay, Aberdeen. You have also have to use the buses, MTR and trams - cheap, efficient and clean (everything that British public transport isn't).

Excellent HK list so far, but I'd add tea at the Peninsula - and no I don't work for them....

If you are after suits (male/female) I can recommend a tailor that we have been using for 7 years.

HK is not just the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, 95% is the New Territories that are great for hikes if you like that kind of thing. A day trip to Macau is also worth while.

We have been twice in September and the weather is nice. Enjoy your trip.

The sad thing is that the public transport system in Hong Kong was designed & built by the British... Recall pre97 when all the MTR trains foot plates said 'Metro-Cammell-England'

Getting back to the subject in hand, The Felix Bar at The Peninsula is well worth a visit, NEVER will you find a urinal with a better view.....
