TRAVEL GUIDE
Overview
Considered as one of the shopping capitals of the world, Hong Kong is definitely one of the sites to add to your itinerary. This busy metropolitan area is home to thousands of establishments that cater to even the most meticulous of tastes. Hong Kong is said to have a smorgasbord of personalities as a result of prolonged British colonization.

When you visit Hong Kong, it won’t be complete if you do not frequent its diverse shopping districts and known tourist spots such as Disneyland.
Today, being free of British reign, it still holds the main connections among the major cities of the world. It is known as Asia’s World City because it serves as a mold of all the diversities that have been frequenting it all these years.

Hong Kong also has the four seasons to wait for. Winters are very chilly at 10 degrees C when winter monsoons occur. Even if it is winter, you should still wear sun protection because of the intense sun at 22 degrees C. Summers are highly humid and extremely hot at 33 degrees C. It is mildly sunny during Christmas in Hong Kong so it is a tourist magnet during this time of the year. From June to September, typhoons frequent Hong Kong. Wet, cold weather is experienced during the Chinese New Year. Because heating is a rarity in Hong Kong, most establishments still turn on their air conditioning to circulate the air to freshen it.
