I don't have much too add... but:
MTR has a tourist day pass.

If you are going to be using the MTR a lot within a 24 hour period, it's not a bad thing to have, especially if you are going long distances (crossing the harbour on the MTR usually runs you into the midteens-$20 some depending on where your start and end points are.
If you do choose to use this, bring your passport as they will need proof that you are not an HK resident.
I've always enjoyed going up to Victoria Peak, it gives you a nice view of the CBD in HK, but it's tough to find a day where it's not smoggy blocking the view.
