The Great: The night market in Kowloon. You can buy everything at a discount. Just make sure you negotiate the price down (50 to 80% - depending what you are buying).
The Hidden: Ten Thousand Bhuddas Temple. The main statues inside the temple are covered in gold and the view outside, being on top of a hill, is impressive. The site is mostly empty.
The Overrated: Hong Kong Island itself. We enjoyed much more the mainland part of Hong Kong where Kowloon is situated. Hong Kong Island is worth seeing but you’ll surely want to spend more time in Kowloon.
The Ugly: Pollution. Sewers emit a nauseating stench and ocean water is stinky and dirty. Smog makes it near impossible to snap a good picture of the skyline. What a shame.
