6. Don’t Underestimate the Summer Heat
Hong Kong has a humid subtropical climate where summer temperatures during the daytime can be over 80 degrees, and the insufferable humidity can make it feel even more oppressive. You’ll also feel the sweltering heat a lot more in the crowded urban areas, so if you’re going sightseeing, you’ll need to be prepared. Instead of walking, consider using public transport to get around, and try to do your outdoor exploring in the cooler mornings or evenings. Bring plenty of water with you and take breaks in air-conditioned spaces along the way. On that note, the air-conditioning is often cranked up excessively cold, so if you’re popping in and out of buildings, you’ll go from one extreme to the other.
