As on my way to New Zealand I did a short stop on my way back as well.
I stopped in Hong Kong for two days to make some sightseeing. I can say it was very worth it. Hong Kong city is very different from Dubai. While there are almost no people in Dubai, there are always lots in Hong Kong. The city is very alive and that is a good feeling. It is also not as "fancy" as Dubai. You can find really bad parts of city somewhere and very clean and modern in other parts.
That gives a city a distinctive feeling. While everything in Dubai is still is still under construction, you can see very nice completed parts of city in HK.
They also have many different types of public transportation. MTR (Subway), buses (double deckers), trams, taxis and ferries. I've tried many of them.
There is also a light show every evening at the bay, where the high business buildings are flashing in different colors. The show is on for about 10 minutes and it's fun to watch.
The nicest part of HK at night is Mong Kok. All the neon signs are lighting the street so it's almost as bright as during the day. The feeling of night market full of useless junk. The feeling is what counts.
One of more beautiful parts of HK is peak. The view up there is amazing. Especially at night when everything is lighted and all the lights are on. You can find some of most expensive apartments up there. They don't really look that nice from outside, but I believe that the view is what counts.
Apart of heat and humidity, HK was really nice experience. And if you do have some time you should definitely stop there sometime.
You can find some photos from Hong Kong here.
