Esther,
For night viewing, u can opt to go to THE PEAK. U have to take train to central (Zhong Huan), and take bus 15 to THE PEAK, journey is abt 20 min and cost HK9.20 for one way. Up there, u can admire the nice scenary of HK and saw those rich ppl house...so big !!!
For shopping, basically i found that only Giordano, Baleno and Bossini are cheap there...Those fashion clothing price are quite steep.
If u like branded clothing - Tsium Sha Jiu
Those normal clothing are - Jorden, Mongkok and Wa Jiao.
If u purchase the tourist ticket, u may opt to go to Disney land, cos there one way cost HK50.00. Before you stop @ disney land, u can opt to go to "Qing Yi" for shopping too.
Below is the pricing for disney land @ HK

Most important, enjoy your trip there.

I paid $613 for my HK trip for 4D3N, exclude the ferry ticket to macau
In macau, the famous place is the DA SHAN BA...and the rose church, the rest, u just need to shop around, however, do take note that in macau, there hv macau currency, but u can also used HK currency which is in par. But in shopping centre, there will be a convertion in exchange rate.

Hi Miu,
I can intro u where to go around MACAU ..
hee hee.. any one interested can take note too.
U MUST try their " Zhu Pa Bao" in Macau..really nice! I tried it at this coffee shop call "Kong Zai Ji" within walking distance from our hotel (Royal Hotel),,it is grill with herbs and really taste yummy.Eat it for breakfast for 2 days! When i was in HK, i oso tried thier "zhu pa bao" but thiers taste different. I stil prefer Macau's.
Then, "Da San Ba, St Paulo Company of Jesus Square " is a mus to visit lo.
Oso we visited the oldest casino in Macau - Casino Lisboa. Now they open a new one call - Sands.
Visited one mini chinese restaurent sell delicious food, it is call; Huang Guan Xiao Chu. Their crab are so fresh and they sell hand made noodles with homemade chilli shrimp paste.
Remember to brin home some Almond cookies with shredded Pork. Their dim sum oso taste nice leh.
There is oni 1 shopping complex - NEW YAOHAN.
These are all i have tried and been. The time when we went, was oni 10 degree +- very cool but i love Macau loh..quite convenient to walk around n taste lots of good food.
