The Peak, Hong Kong Wetland park, Ngong Ping 360, Ocean Park,

A Smoke-free Hong Kong
From Jan 1 2007 smoking is prohibited in most enclosed public places, including restaurants, karaokes, malls and some bars as well as some outdoor areas.

Visitors to the new-look Madame Tussauds Hong Kong can not only meet their favourite idols but also join them in doing whatever has made them famous – all to the accompaniment of appropriate background sounds. You can putt with Tiger Woods, shoot hoops with Yao Ming, dance on stage with Aaron Kwok and even step into a Rembrandt painting!

There is no better way to capture the magic of the harbour than by taking a night-time cruise aboard a ferry where you'll be able to enjoy A Symphony of Lights, the stunning multimedia show featuring 33 Hong Kong skyscrapers in a dazzling extravaganza.

Feel like dinner amidst the sumptuous surroundings of a Chinese palace? Welcome to the Jumbo Kingdom, one of Hong Kong's truly unique attractions. Since its opening in 1976 as the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, it has excelled in the preparation of seafood for discerning diners. The restaurant, designed like a classic Chinese palace, can accommodate up to 2,300 people. Situated in Aberdeen harbour, the Jumbo is one of the world's largest floating restaurants and a tourist icon.

One of the most popular street markets in Hong Kong, Ladies' Market is a must-visit destination for fashion lovers with an eye for bargain-priced clothing, bags, accessories, toys, cosmetics and household knick-knacks. The stalls making up this enjoyable market can be found on Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok. It is open from noon until 11:30pm.

No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a visit to the world's tallest, outdoor, seated bronze Buddha which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery of Lantau Island.

The eyes, lips, incline of the head and even the right hand (raised to deliver a blessing to all), combine to lend great depth of character and dignity to this extraordinary statue.

The majestic figure of the seated Buddha is 34 metres high, was cast in China and took over 10 years to complete. Weighing 250 tonnes, it was unveiled in 1993 amid deeply religious ceremonies.

Visitors can climb the 268 steps to reach the platform where the Buddha is seated.

The pollution in Hong Kong makes it virtually impossible to see the view sometimes from the Peak.
Stanley is an overpriced tourist area.

Sai Kung is a good place to visit, a very traditional fishing village.
Go to Sham Shui Po for mobile phones. Get off the mtr and exit at Ap Lui St, there is a whole street of cheap phones, electrical items etc.
Clothes, get off the mtr at Central and leave via the exit that says Li Yuen St, turn left until you come to 'The Lanes', cheap shops and stalls, dont have to bargain, all very cheap anyway.
STAY AWAY from Tsim Sha Tsui for cameras phones etc, many shops have been prosecuted there for ripping off tourists.

Many places have wheelchair access, the MTR does, ask an MTR official to help you, they will.
Take the star ferry across the harbour, very cheap, can see lots of things. Go from Wan Chai to TST, Central to Aberdeen, take your pick, all nice short trips.
If you go to Sai Kung, get a sampan to take you round the islands, negotiate a price, about $100 HK (cheap) give the owner a $50 tip.

Try Dim Sum in restaurants - very chinese!

You must go to the Hong Kong peak at night. The view from Victoria Peak is amazing. Repulse bay would be a good place to go on an afternoon. For shopping, the mainland is cheaper, take the Ferry and look for shopping deals in Kowloon Bay. A day trip to New Territories should also be good

Give you two
1 Victoria Peak
In the early period of colonial rule the Victoria Peak was open to the people of upper strata of society only. Tai Ping Shan, 554 meters above sea level, is the summit of Hong Kong island and the best place of looking down at the scenery of the Victoria Harbour.
Taking mountain climbing cable car, which has a hundred year old history, to reach the Victoria Peak, you can proceed to the Peak Tower, which was rebuilt after toppling sown the Lao Qing Pavillion. This is a center of combining catering and recreation. Its bowl shaped design is modern and unique, inside which there are reviewing stand, dining hall, wonder hall and motor-driven recreation games. Among them, the most special is the wonder hall which is called "Believe it or not". It is the chain museum unique in the world, which was constructed by Robert L. Ripley in 1930. Inside the hall there exhibited the adventurous events experienced by Ripley, primitive forest, beauty taking sun bath, frenzied car, turning tunnel, shark aquarium, ultimate cruel torture, marvelous spectacles of human race and animals, complete works of tongue twister and mass media fun station etc. If you have time, you may come to have a taste of Mr. Robert's experience and "Believe it or not". Inside the peak square, there are fine arts shop, first class restaurant and three dimensional simulated flight of airship.

If you have enough time, you may go around the Harlech Road and the Lugard Road on both sides of the Peak, which is the best spot to look down at both shores of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Peninsula and even the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir and Island District on the southern part of Hong Kong.

2 Stanley
The Stanley was formerly a fishing port, the main street of which is close to the Stanley Bay, compactly existing a series of restaurants and public houses. Some of them provide open air tea houses for customers to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Stanley Bay, cultivating an atmosphere of European continent.
There is an open air bazar in the Stanley too, which properly sells ready made clothes of different trade marks, souvenir and art ornaments. Along the Stanley Street, there is a temple called Tin Hau Temple (the temple of the Queen of Heaven and Protectress of Seafarers which was built in 1767. During the First World War period, villagers took asylum from war in this temple. Since then, on the 23rd of March, according to the lunar calender every year, the birthday of TinHou, people poured in to worship in this temple.

Very good answers above to your questions. But I'm thinking about your sub-question on HK's acessibility to persons with disabilities, which is I think what you mean when you ask about disabled accessories. Generally, accessibility in HK is fairly good, most public places seem to have some design built into them for handicapped access, as well as sidewalks. Most stores as well are on the ground floor and most large shopping malls (Langham Place for example) have escalators and elevators. If you have reduced mobility, it might be difficult, but not impossible (nothing is impossible when there is a will), to go to smaller alleys or climb steep stairs in some districts. As for public transit, from memory I don't think there is any facilitated access in buses and the MTR.
