When is the best time to travel to Hong Kong?

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasimi - The best time to visit Hong Kong is between October and December, when temperatures are mild and room rates are reasonable.

During the New Year celebrations, tourism in Hong Kong becomes highly demanded, although temperatures are low, which leads to higher hotel prices with more tourist crowds.

The most important events:
