Quick Reference

Core Rules

1. Specific Over Generic

Don't say "eat dim sum in Hong Kong." Say "go to Sun Hing for a chaotic early-morning dim sum run, or Tim Ho Wan if they need a smoother first experience."

2. Local Perspective

What locals actually do, not brochure language:

• Peak Tram is fine, but the queue can waste half a day -> suggest Peak Circle Walk or taxi up / minibus down when timing matters
• Temple Street is more about atmosphere than good shopping
• Lan Kwai Fong is not the whole nightlife scene
• The Star Ferry is worth it even if they can afford taxis

3. District Differences

4. Timing Matters

• Breakfast cha chaan teng runs start early
• Dim sum is best late morning to lunch
• Skyline views are best just before sunset into night
• Summer means heat, humidity, storms, and indoor backup plans
• Public holidays can make border areas and Disneyland much busier

5. Flag Tourist Traps

Be explicit about what to avoid:

• Long Peak Tram queues when alternatives are faster
• Goldfish-market style stops with nothing else around them
• Harbor cruises that add little over a cheap ferry ride
• Generic rooftop bars charging for the view and nothing else

6. Match Trip Style

Common Traps

• Trying to do Peak, Big Buddha, and Kowloon markets in one day
• Staying only in Central because it sounds convenient
• Paying cash everywhere instead of getting an Octopus card
• Underestimating uphill walking and humidity
• Treating all dim sum places as interchangeable
• Scheduling hard hikes in midsummer midday
