Hong Kong Island In-A-day

Stanley Market, Aberdeen & the Mid-Levels

This itinerary concentrates on Hong Kong Island and makes a good "Day-2" of a basic itinerary. If poor visibility put you off the The Peak on Day-1, maybe you’ll be in luck today and can start the morning there, afterwards taking a taxi to Stanley.

Otherwise, the double-decker bus from Central’s Exchange Square is a hair-raising 30-minute ride to Stanley Market, with great views of Hong Kong Island and the South China Sea along the way.

Morning: South to Stanley & Aberdeen

After shopping for clothing and souvenirs and lunch at a waterfront restaurant, leave Stanley Market for Aberdeen and a sampan tour of its famous harbor.

Afternoon: The Mid-Levels

Next it’s back to Central and the Mid-Levels to Man Mo Temple, Hong Kong’s oldest temple, which sits at the intersection of Ladder Street and Hollywood Road, the latter home to many antique shops and Goods of Desire with novelty items sporting a Hong Kong theme.
