Hotels Resorts Holiday Packages In Hong Kong
Hong Kong officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a territory located on China's south coast on the Pearl River Delta, and borders Guangdong province in the north and faces the South China Sea in the east, west and south. It has a population of 6.9 million people, and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
Renowned for its expansive skyline and natural setting, Hong Kong is one of the world's leading financial capitals and a major business and cultural hub. Its identity as a cosmopolitan centre where east meets west is reflected in its cuisine, cinema, music and traditions, and although the population is predominantly Chinese, residents and expatriates of other ethnicities form a small but significant segment of society.
Hong Kong is frequently described as a place where East meets West, reflecting the culture's mix of the territory's Chinese roots with the culture brought to it during its time as a British colony. Although over a decade has passed since the handover, Western cultural practises remain, and coexist seamlessly with the traditional philosophy and practices of Chinese culture. Hong Kong still has a traditional English morris dancing team, for example, the Hong Kong Morris.
A benefit of Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s freest economies is its open policy towards foreigners. Citizens of many ‘western’ countries (e.g. United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, etc.) can visit Hong Kong visa free for 90 days.
What to do:
Hong Kong has a wealth of things to do. It is an urban city with electric streetscapes, great shopping, beautiful temples, historical buildings, world class art galleries and an opera house. There is a plethora of opportunity to explore this alive and thriving city.
There are plenty of bike paths in the New Territories, and it's easy to rent a bike, especially around Tolo Harbour. The bike paths can get crowded on weekends. Hong Kong is an excellent place for hiking: try Country Parks, Lantau Island and the MacLehose Trail in the New Territories. Try and plan your trip away from the crowded weekend. There are good beaches everywhere except Kowloon and the north side of Hong Kong Island - the best ones are on the Outlying Islands. Make sure you swim at a patrolled beach.
When to go:
Situated just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Hong Kong's climate is humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cwa). Summer is hot and humid with occasional showers and thunderstorms, and warm air coming from the southwest. It is also the time when tropical cyclones are most likely, sometimes resulting in flooding or landslips. Winter weather usually starts sunny and becomes cloudier towards February, with the occasional cold front bringing strong, cooling winds from the north.
Weatherwise, October, November and most of December are the best months to visit Hong Kong; the skies are clear and the sun shines. Hotels tend to offer substantial discounts outside the high seasons of March-April and October-November. Travel can be difficult during Chinese New Year in late January/early February. Hong Kong averages 1,948 hours of sunshine per year.
