    Re: Pick a Layover Stop for Michael Kinsley

    1 - Hong Kong International Airport

    2 - Ride the Star Ferry from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon across Victoria Bay then walk along the Avenue of Stars and get a view of the best skyline in the world!

    3 - FROM THE AIRPORT: Take the Airport Express to Central, then get on a ferry at the Central Star Ferry Pier to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) on the Kowloon side
    BACK TO THE AIRPORT: Hop in a taxi and ask to go to Kowloon Station where you can take the Airport Express back

    4 - 3 hours depending on how much exploring you want to do

    5 - The old fashioned Star Ferry is a great contrast to the towering skyscrapers, and it drops you off at the Avenue of the Stars which is Hong Kong's version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame with everything from Jackie Chan's handprints to a statue of Bruce Lee!  If you have time you can check out the Space Museum or Museum of Art which are just a few steps away.  For food, take a 5 minute walk up Nathan Road and try Hong Kong's famous street food like curry fishballs and stinky tofu!
