I was in HK a couple months ago. It seems to be a city obsessed with shopping. The only non-shopping things to do are Victoria Peak and the cable car to the Giant Budha (250 stairs to the top though).

I'm not saying it's bad, it's actually a fun place to walk around. But on one walk from my hotel I think I ventured through four huge malls filled with the kind of stores that could make my wallet cry. Tsim Sha Tsui is where I was a lot of the time. I felt completely safe the whole time I was there.

The metro there is the best I've ever seen. Super clean, great signage, little lights that show which station you're at so you don't have to look out the windows for the signs. I think every sign I ever saw had English on it. Very crowded at times, especially around Central. Octopus card is the way to go. Just refill as needed.
