What's the ONE thing to do with one day in Hong Kong?

That's what I asked the guy working the desk at the shit-hole of a hostel I was staying in. I had just flown into Hong Kong the night before and had a few hours to kill before catching my flight to Hanoi. I had already walked the streets of Causeway bay and eaten some octopus on a stick, and now that it was morning I was looking for the essential thing to do with a day in Hong Kong.

The answer was "The Peak"

The Peak is a mountain top look out, from which you can see the whole city of Hong Kong laid out before you. Excellent, seems like a great choice. I took the ubber clean and efficient MTR to central station (they even have TV's in the station on the walls of the tracks so you can watch while waiting for the train). I then took the Funicular (how Swiss!) up to the top of the mountain. This was the view I saw from the top.



Hong Kong it appears is all grey even the buildings. Honestly you couldn't see 6 feet in front of you due to the fog. It was actually really fun just out the the complete absurdity of it all. So in the end I went back down and checked out the Botanical gardens and Zoo. That was actually kind of neat, and I even got to see some Flamingos which reminded me of Miri and my Ultimate team.
