I went to Hong Kong in October of 2017, for 4 days. The weather was perfect, no rain, daily highs around 28 and lows around 22 (Celsius), everyday. Hong Kong is an extremely dense place, with a lot of skyscrapers. It was like an asian New York City, with all the buildings. The shopping centers there are huge and finding designer brands is extremely easy, as brands such as Rolex and LV, were on almost every corner. Aside from impressive shopping centers, there is much more to do and see. I also visited Lantau Island to see the big buddha and the monastery there, which was quite impressive. The cable cart ride to Lantau Island was quite scenic. While in Hong Kong i used the local transit to get around and it was quite easy to use and also all the stops were in english, which was a huge plus. Everyone i came in contact there spoke english. The food was expensive, as was the city on a whole, but it was worth every dollar, as the food there is amazing. The best dim sum and peking duck i have ever had was in Hong Kong. All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend other give it a visit.
