Hong Kong Travel Guide: Know Before You Go
When is the best time to go? Weatherwise, try to avoid the hot and steamy summer days, but also important is to check whether there will be any major events taking place during the time of your stay.
Why is this important? Transportation, Accomodations and Tourist Attractions will be packed during these periods, specially now with the increased number of Mainland Chinese tourists visiting Hong Kong and Macau.
But we are not saying avoid these times altogether, being in Hong Kong during a major celebration is really a treat, the fireworks in the Harbour, the parades and festivities more than make up for the inconvenience, but just be aware that conditions will be more crowded than usual and advance reservations will be a must in these cases.
Regarding Health and Safety, here we answer the most common questions: Do I need any vaccines? Is it safe to drink the water?
