Hong Kong/New Territories

The best time to visit is during the autumn months (October to December) when the weather is mild and pleasant, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Spring (March to May) is also a good time, but be prepared for occasional rain and humidity.

Must-see attractions include Victoria Peak, the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) on Lantau Island, the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour, and the vibrant street markets of Mong Kok. In the New Territories, explore the Hong Kong Geopark, hike the MacLehose Trail, and visit the walled village of Kam Tin.

Be sure to try dim sum, roast goose, wonton noodles, egg tarts, and milk tea. Explore the local dai pai dongs (street food stalls) for an authentic culinary experience.
