Sadly HK is slowly but surely declining becoming just another random mainland Chinese city. Less and less British influence day by day. Singapore is even better now in this respect.

They should try to keep it back in 70s when China was still weak. Well this is history now.

Hmm, memories...the flights used to come in over the Walled City, and the Kaitak runway ran straight out into the harbour. You just hoped the brakes were working properly!

Was about to add my two cents then read you've already been, and you had bad dim sum. How can you have bad dim sum in Hong Kong! Tragedy.

Haven't been since we left Singapore (so over ten years) - would love another visit. My first was to stay with a friend who was living on Lamma Island; I went for the Handover in 1997. Mad time for HK. I was still living in the UK then so Lamma was a bit of a shock to my system, but I loved it. If you went out late, you had to stay out until the ferries started up in the morning. (Those benches at the ferry terminal are not good for sleeping on.)

That's my recommendation for your next trip, well apart from finding some decent dim sum. Trolley service only. Get out of the madness, take a ferry to Lamma or similar.
