Hong Kong Social Scene...

I'll be visiting Hong Kong for a couple of weeks and was wondering if
anyone could recommend places worth checking out that a University
Student would appreciate (aged 20-25). This could include bars, clubs,
particular hostels, districts... Any and all suggestions greatly
appreciated!

Wanchai is less crowded than Lankwaifong and has some interesting bars
like The Old China Hand; I'd generally prefer it to LWF

With drink and food prices guaranteed to bust any university student's
budget. For a cheaper LKF experience try Club 64 on Wing Wah Lane.

Soho (South of Hollywood Road) on HK Island and Knutsford Terrace on
Kowloon are also burgeoning entertainment districts.

There's a strip of cheaper bars and restaurants in Yung Shue Wan,
Lamma Island, but the last ferry back to Hong Kong leaves (usually) at
11.30.

Thanks for all the tips... very appreciated.

Does anyone have any similar advice in regards to the best HK hostels,
both for price and atmosphere?

Noble Hostel in Causeway Bay is a nice place (www.noblehostel.com)

Wang Fat Hostel in Causeway Bay - good location, and only US$35/night.

Places to avoid: I've heard bad things about the Mount Davis Hostel -
which is really out of the way (Wang Fat Hostel was full of people who
fled the Mount Davis Hostel), and only stay in the Chungking Mansions
or Mirador Mansions if you're absolutely hard up for cash.

That's true for the crowds, but the Old China Hand is not the Old
China hand of legend ... it's a poor reconstruction and
over-frequented by under-employed ladies from the Philippines.

The Bridge across Lockhart Road from the new OCH is nicer ... and, god
forbid, it's open 24 hours.

The Bell Inn, a traditional pub run since the 1960s by two constantly
feuding brothers, is even better and cheaper. It's on Lockhart, near,
I think, the Luard Road corner. Try the steak sandwiches but remember
to say "NO SALT!"
