5) A  cruise across the bay on the historic Star Cruiser line is fantastic at any time, but during the light show it just adds to the drama.

6) The typical tourist activities always includes the Peak, accessed by the tram, or by public bus. A ride on the tram is unforgettable, as  the train up at such a steep incline.

7) A pleasant side trip from Hong Kong is Repulse Bay. Here you will find a pleasant beach, a historic museum, temples, and this charming memorial to the invasion of Repulse Bay that drove out the pirates.
