This is a must do in Hong Kong, and a cure for jet lag if you hike it! The views from Victoria's Peak are fantastic, you'll be able to grasp just how big and impressive Hong Kong is from the top.
There are many ways to get to the top, but I recommend hiking to the top for the true experience. You can join the Hong Kong Trail at any point, and it will take you to the peak. I recommend starting on the Morning Trail by Hong Kong Univeristy, then doing the Peak Loop.Activities

Very affordable and easy to order Dim Sum. The location is great, and service is quick. Located right outside of Soho. I was intimidated to order Dim Sum at other restaurants, but this one is easy.
Dim sum is a must when in Hong Kong, head here to order a wide variety of Dim Sum. Cash only, come hungry!Activities

Trips to Hong Kong are not complete without a ride on the Star Ferry. Very iconic, great views, and very cheap.
Take the ferry from Central to TST, or TST to Wan Chai. The bottom deck is the best for views, and cheaper than the top deck. Get your camera ready, this is the best way to see both sides of the harbor in Hong Kong.Activities

The longest continually ran light and sound show in the world. Much worth the time to view, and watch from the harbor. Buildings on both sides of the harbor light up to music.
The light and sound show plays at 8pm every night in Hong Kong. The best place to watch is on the promenade in TST, right at the exit of the Star Ferry on the Kowloon side.Activities
