Start the day at Hong Kong Park. It's an oasis of tranquility in the midst of hectic Central Hong Kong. The LockCha Tea House within the park opens at 10 a.m. for tea and vegetarian dim sum (it also offers a nice selection of tea-ware for your souvenir shopping needs).
Then, make your way to Sheung Wan. There, you can explore the neighborhood's art galleries and antique shops, Man Mo Temple (which dates back to 1847), and Hollywood Road Park. Upper Lascar Row (better known as "Cat Street") features antiques that range from investment quality to affordable trinkets. And when hunger strikes, Classified, Grassroots Pantry, and Cafe Deadend are all nice walkable lunch options.
Later, take the MTR out to Diamond Hill in Kowloon. Wander the magnificent grounds of Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden.
Stay on Kowloon for dinner. Head back to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), grab a number, and wait for a table at the Silvercord branch of Din Tai Fung. It's known for its Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) — one slurp and you'll see why. Then, walk down to Avenue of the Stars for a front-row view of the dazzling nightly Symphony of Lights show, the ultimate end to your stay in Hong Kong.
