If you’re looking to keep your options open and make the most of all the things to do in Hong Kong, avoid typhoon season in September, and keep away during the hot and rainy months of June through to August too. Your best bet for a successful Hong Kong trip that won’t break the bank is visiting in October to early December.
Navigating bustling Hong Kong can prove testing. Keep these top tips handy so you can get around the city with ease. Although crowded and compact, taking public transport is essential if you’re looking to get somewhere in a hurry or you’re looking to budget your Hong Kong day tours. When considering what to do in Hong Kong, and how to get there, try the ultramodern Mass Transit Railway (MTR) out for size. It gets travellers from A to B quickly and efficiently, and services most urban destinations. Hong Kong’s ferries are fast, and reliable and cover the top city destinations. Plus, a ferry ride provides epic harbour views for free! If you have some time, hop aboard a tram, they may not be as quick as the city’s other transport options, but they are extensive, reliable and well-priced.
Hong Kong is a relatively safe city. Keep these travel tips in tow so your trip can go off without a hitch. The city has its fair share of pickpockets operating throughout the city’s main tourist areas. Be sure to look out for petty thieves on your Hong Kong tours, carrying only small change and keeping your handbag and other valuables close at all times. If you are walking the streets alone, be wary of strangers and walk in well-lit, populated areas. Although Hong Kong is safe to walk around at night, it is best to be aware and alert, appearing as if you know your way will ward off dodgy opportunists. In any emergency, dial 999.
Typically, a slight bow or nod is the customary way to greet. When exploring temples, it is advised to dress modestly, and when entering someone's home, it is considered polite to remove your shoes.
