I've just been there a couple of weeks ago so the places are still fresh in my mind. :)
Mongkok is where teh Ladies' market is found. It's a long street filled with vendors. Really low prices, quality stuff. Just be careful with your belongigns because there are a lot of thieves.
Tsing Yi station has a mall connected to it. Since it's pretty far (but it'll only take you like, 20minutes by train), the prices there are low but it's a lovely lovely place with a lot of choices.
The Peak is a tourist spot located on a mountain top. It has a mall and a fabulous wax museum there. You have to ride a tram to get up there. Get off at Central station and follow the signs to the tram station.
Hong Kong Disney Land of course, if you like that sort of thing.
Ocean Park, like Disneyland, but they're more on wildlife and stuff. Of course, the famous cable car ride is here. It's beautiful.
Ocean Terminal is a humongous mall that's in Kowloon. Pretty expensive, but if you've got the funds, then go for it.
Look for a store called Sasa, there are a lot all over HK. They sell beauty stuff and perfumes that are cheaper than most commercial places.
If you need food or water, look for Wellcome supermarket. IT's open 24-hours. They have cooked food you could buy. Affordable and very delicious!
Shang Shue Po is about three to four stations away from Mongkok. It's full of electronics. You just have to go to each of the stores and check out which one has the lowest prices.
Avenue of the stars. At night, around 8pm, there is a light show of the buildings. It's wonderful.
Go to Nathan Road. You get off at Tsim Sha Tsui station to get there. Along that road there are a lot of stalls of bags, stores of clothes and shoes. They have great bargains there.
Hope this helps!

I actually did! that's the wax museum i was talking about located in The Peak. It's wonderful! Entrance is for $120HK though, but it's worth it. :)
