Bustling energy is evident everywhere in Hong Kong. Catch sight of its breathtaking harbor with ships from countries too numerous to count, in waters alongside classic red Chinese junks. Explore narrow streets where crowds enjoy the string of shopping stalls beneath imposing skyscrapers. Hong Kong's allure has captured the world's fascination for centuries.
Weather:
Summer can be hot and humid. Cooler, dry weather prevails during the fall and winter months.
What to Wear:
Hong Kong is westernized and dress is smart. Light-weight cottons are best in summer, and a sweater or light jacket may be needed in air-conditioned buildings. Evenings are more formal, especially in hotels and restaurants.
Language:
English is the official language, Cantonese and Mandarin are dialects spoken by most locals.
Culture & Customs:
The sophisticated heart of Asia, Hong Kong is a city of contrasts - an international financial center with tall skyscrapers, amidst parks where elderly men take their songbirds for a walk and groups practice Tai Chi early every morning.
What to Buy:
Shop 'til you drop" in the City of Lights, from glitzy designer boutiques to open-air markets. Merchandise ranges from jade, arts and antiques, designer clothing, carpets, Chinese wedding cabinets to the latest electronic gadgets.
