Hong Kong Day Trip: A Working Plan from Shenzhen (or a Cruise Ship, or a Layover)
A working one-day Hong Kong plan, written from the perspective of a Saturday-morning regular on the Shenzhen-to-Hong Kong run. Three border-crossing variants up front (Shenzhen overland, ferry from Macau or Shekou, HKIA layover), then an hour-by-hour spine from 8am breakfast at a cha chaan teng through dim sum at a real tea house, the Mid-Levels Escalator, Victoria Peak, and a Star Ferry crossing at blue hour, finishing with wonton noodles in Mong Kok and the last train back at 10pm. Prices in HK$, MTR exits, named restaurants, what to skip.
