FAQ
When is the most comfortable time to visit Hong Kong?
October to December is best, with crisp autumn air and low humidity. Spring brings humid "return-of-spring" weather, summer is hot with typhoons, and winter is occasionally cool.
How to plan three to five days in Hong Kong?
One day at Victoria Harbour and the Peak, one day at Disneyland or Ocean Park, half a day at Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, and the rest at Lantau and the outlying island of Lamma. An Octopus card covers everything.
