Marc, can't add much to what the others have said....we were docked on the Kowloon side for 2 days. We (with the Mondaes) went up Victoria Peak on the tram for the gorgeous views, rode around the harbor on a sampan seeing all the people who actually live on these fishing boats and saw the largest restaurant in the world (named Jumbos...it's floating, I think it held 5,000 people!) then we went to a jewelry store where Tony bought Joanna a beautiful saphire ring. We also went to Stanley Market where we did some serious shopping (we also bought another huge suitcase in HK). We went to a wonderful lunch at the Repulse Bay Hotel (this was a Radisson comp). You will be docked very close to the Star Ferry, making for easy access to Victoria.
This was actually the 2nd time we'd been to Hong Kong. You will LOVE it there!!!
