8-Hour Layover in Hong Kong
I'm travelling with work and have an 8-hour layover in Hong Kong on the way back to Australia. My flight arrives at 1:10pm and departs at 9:35pm. I don't have any lounge passes so thought it could be worthwhile getting out to the city and grabbing some cheap eats (dumplings, etc) and maybe grabbing some jade or bargains in the night markets.
I've had a quick look and was thinking that grabbing an airport express train ticket to Kowloon and back is probably the safest and quickest option? Plan to check all my luggage into a locker at the airport so I'm not carrying bulky luggage around. I would also like to get back to the airport in time to have a quick shower before jumping on my flight.
Does anyone have any experience doing this and know whether this will be enough time. I had been to Hong Kong in the past when I was 19; but that was 12 years ago so is a bit of a distant memory now. From memory the train system is pretty efficient. I haven't done the Star Ferry but have seen the Symphony of Lights show in Victoria Harbor, Big Buddha, and Victoria Peak tram.
I love Chinese food and bargaining in the markets (usually get cheap shirts for gym / hiking). All my checked luggage should be going through to the end because I'm flying with the same carriers all the way through my connection.
If anyone has any recommendations for food or whether going to Kowloon or Central would be a better experience I would greatly appreciate it.
