Three days in Hong Kong built around the harbour: the Peak Tram and the skyline from Victoria Peak, the Star Ferry between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, and the old streets of Sheung Wan on the island against the night markets of Kowloon. Everything moves on the MTR, the tram and the ferry, with a hotel base in Central so each day starts and ends a short walk from the station. Lodging is not booked yet — the hotel pin marks the area to book in.
