I went to Shanghai and Hong Kong a couple years ago.
If you want to take photos, then leave the Long Lens at home. The smog is so bad that the only way to get a clean shot, is to get up close.
Hong Kong is busy, so pace yourself.
Mainland China is pretty cheap, but Hong Kong is expensive(comparatively)
All in all, I'm sure you'll love the place
Have a great time!

best places
Beijing Duck at Tiennenman Square.
Forbidden City is marvellous, check out the old wind-up toys from the UK
Go up the Yangtze River to Yang Zhou and try a tour on the canals that once (I think) connected this old capital to Beijing
The great wall is actually great, as is the Summer Palace and it should be not so busy as it is winter. Both are worth a day trip.
FOOD FOOD FOOD Take immodium and get into the offal
BEER BEER BEER Great beer
WOMEN.......... no best leave that subject alone.....
Have a great trip
