Travel Tips
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, with occasional
typhoons (similar to hurricanes) between May and
November. When a typhoon is approaching, warnings
are broadcast on TV, radio and Internet, with a signal
system indicating its distance from Hong Kong.

stays in Asia’s World City fun and enjoyable. Among
these tools are My Hong Kong Guide, which provides
tourists with a one-stop trip planner, personalised
travel guide, tips on thousands of fun destinations and
recommendations from fellow travellers, and Insider’s
Guide, a compilation of stories, recommendations and
tips on Hong Kong from people in the know.
