try this famous attractions:
L'Avenue des Stars + Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower: you can see the beautiful Victoria Harbour. Then you may take the Star Ferry toward Central.
Mong Kok - Sai Yeung Choi Street, Tung Choi Street (Ladies' Market).
For local food, there are million choices. I suggest when you arrived, ask people where to have the below (show this message in Chinese), which we Hong Kong local people always to go:
茶餐廳 (Tea restaurant, suggest to try "熱奶茶" "hot milk tea" here)
牛雜粉麵 / 魚蛋粉麵 (bovine offal noodles / "Fish egg" noodles)
中式茶樓(飲茶, 點心)(Chinese restaurant, eat "Dim-Sum", try breakfast or lunch here)
