The Favorable Time for Travel

The best time to travel around Hong Kong is in October and November. HK has a subtropical climate and a relatively higher average temperature of 22.8 degree Celsius. The weather is easily influenced by monsoons and the four seasons are distinctive in HK.

In the spring, you can wear a thin coat or sweater. As the climate in summer is hot and humid with rainfall and thunderstorm sometimes, short T-shirts and dresses made of cotton as well as overcoats and umbrella are necessary. The wind is mild and the sun is warm in autumn. Wearing a shirt, sweater and thin coat is appropriate. The climate is dry and slightly cold in winter, so it is feasible for you to wear a suit and thin sweater in HK during this time.

Camping

Kau Ling Chung is the most beautiful camping ground on Lantau Island, where you embrace its natural beauty and fresh air. There are plants spread all over the island. At night, you can light a bonfire and dance with your friends around it or sing to your heart's content. At midnight, walking along the beach barefoot, with the gentle breeze kissing your face, you may find blissful happiness. You can also climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise or appreciate the view of the sea.

Campers

There are 7 campers imported from England. They are divided into small, middle, and large. Small and middle ones can carry 2 to 4 people while the large one carries 4 to 6 people.
