Startle

Thanks to Hong Kong’s subtropical climate, you won’t have to bring your winter coat and boots for most of the year. However, if your trip falls between Mid-December and February, temperatures can be as low as 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit). Hong Kong’s rainy season is between May and September, so you might wait to pack a light raincoat then. Otherwise, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes to explore and swimwear for beaches. Hong Kongers dress for business and socializing, and many of the city’s most elegant restaurants require formal attire. With some of the world’s best tailors on hand and boutiques from all of top fashion labels, you can easily find whatever you might need for a business meeting or night on the town. Finally, leave room in your suitcase because you never know what wonderful trinkets you’ll find at one of Hong Kong’s famous markets.
