How many days do you need in Hong Kong?
4 days is the right length for a first trip to Hong Kong. That covers Victoria Peak, the Star Ferry, Kowloon's markets, a dim sum morning, Tai O or the Big Buddha and a harbour night. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Macau or Lamma Island.
