How to choose travel insurance for Hong Kong?
When should you travel to Hong Kong?
The best time to visit Hong Kong is between October and December, or in March. During these periods, temperatures are mild and the weather is dry. Beware: Hong Kong has a rainy and hot season from May to September.
What's the climate like in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate. Temperatures range from 12 to 32°C. Summers are particularly hot and humid, with 80% of annual precipitation falling between May and September. Summer is also the time of typhoons (strong winds), especially from July onwards. Hong Kong winters are dry. We therefore recommend visiting the country between October and January, when temperatures range from 15 to 21°C.
Local specialities in Hong Kong
A few culinary specialities will catch your interest:
– Dim Sum, steamed bites with a variety of fillings
– Siu Mei, poultry (duck, goose, etc.) lacquered and roasted
– dried shrimp egg noodles,
– Street food, especially fish balls, for their texture
– Chee Cheong Fun, thick rice noodles with soy sauce or spices
– Gai Daan Tsai, or Hong-Kong Waffle, a waffle with soft bubbles
What to do in Hong Kong
The must-see show in Hong Kong is the Symphony of Lights. This sound and light show takes place every evening at 8pm in Victoria Harbour. According to Guinness World Records, it would be the largest of its kind. If you can, dine in a rooftop restaurant overlooking the show.
Other must-sees during your stay: the Avenue of Stars, the Clock Tower and Golden Bauhinia Square. The first is Hong Kong’s equivalent of the Hollywood Walk of Fame , featuring a statue of Bruce Lee and his footprints. The Clock Tower is the arrival point for thousands of Chinese who migrated to Hong Kong. Golden Bauhinia Square contains the symbol of Hong Kong, donated by China on its reintegration in 1997.
Feel like shopping? Visit the traditional markets of Mongkok and Yau Ma Tei. For the ladies, we recommend the Lady’s Market in Tung Choi (Mongkok), rich in clothing and accessories. Every night, Temple Street is transformed into a popular bazaar, alive with singing and fortune-tellers.
For panoramic views, head for Victoria Peak or Star Ferry. To reach the peak, take the streetcar: an interesting experience for all visitors. You’ll be able to see the city from the air. The Star Ferry is a must, offering panoramic views of the bay and skyscrapers.
If you prefer an excursion into nature, you can also visit the surrounding islands. It’s not uncommon to come across monkeys and other local animals. Lantou Island is also home to the Tian Tan Buddha temple, where you can recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you’re short of ideas, don’t hesitate to visit Macau. The boat trip between the two towns lasts an hour.
Le point culture
Before traveling to Hong Kong, find out more about the local culture. This will save you a few missteps. In particular, sticking chopsticks into food is frowned upon. This gesture is reserved for offerings for the deceased. So always lay your chopsticks flat on one side of your bowl. Add to this non-exhaustive list: don’t touch children’s heads, and never raise your voice in front of a room. It is not customary to haggle over prices outside markets.
