Warning: Don’t attempt them all in a day.
6am: Catch the sunrise
Hong Kong is surprisingly mountainous, and the best place to catch the sunrise is in South Lantau, with a hike up Lantau Peak. Top tip: stay in the Ngong Ping Youth Hostel the night before to shorten your hiking time to a fairly vigourous two hours.
7am: Try a traditional Hong Kong breakfast
There are queues around the block for the breakfast at Australia Dairy Company. This no-frills, east-meets-west diner is known for its Hong Kong breakfast foods, namely macaroni and ham soup and scrambled egg sandwiches.
8am: Explore a wet market
Hong Kong's wet markets are where locals go to shop for the day's groceries. The best time to visit is in the morning, when people flock to get the best stuff for dinner. There are wet markets in just about every district in Hong Kong, but the outdoor Graham Street Market in Central is the oldest and most atmospheric.
9am: Run (or walk) Bowen Road
It's literally an urban jungle on Bowen Road, a flat four-kilometre path that takes you from the Mid-Levels to Happy Valley. It's popular with joggers, strollers and dog-walkers alike thanks to its shady trees, breathtaking views of Hong Kong island and smattering of historical landmarks along the way.
