Are there any weekend-only tourist activities in Hong Kong?
My family and I will be visiting Hong Kong in December, and will be doing some of the tourist stuff such as Disneyland, museums, shopping and eating. Because Hong Kong is such a crowded city, we would prefer to do a lot of these activities on a weekday, hoping it will be less crowded.
Which leaves us wondering: is there anything to do or anyplace to go that we should do during the weekends? (For example, a lot of cities have Saturday or Sunday-only outdoor night markets.)
My daughter is only 11 years old, so visiting the racetracks is probably not a good idea. (Besides, none of us are interested in watching horse-racing.)

One thing that is fun is going to the 10,000 Buddhas temple:
It requires a bit of a walk and is therefore off-limits for tourist buses. There are many Buddha statues with funny faces along the way, the view is great from there, they have a vegetarian restaurant that serves quite good food which visually and taste-wise imitates classic Chinese dishes (sweet & sour chicken for example).
Another thing is going to Sai Kung and eating at one of the many Seafood restaurants. It's a bit of a way out, but the village is quite cute, there is another temple and the seafood restaurants are a real spectacle with their huge aquariums and live fish to pick from.
A walk down Hollywood road, seeing the Antique stores and the Mo Man Temple is also something more relaxed.
