Best time to be there

Hong Kong means different things to different people. For some it is the view from the Peak by day or Hong Kong Island's skyline by night, as the skyscrapers flush their neon rainbows. Dining can be about a lingering morning of tea and bite-sized dim sum or a multi-dish Chinese banquet. Hikers, birders and climbers say nothing beats the Hong Kong countryside for its beauty, facilities and accessibility.
It is a city of teeming streets and empty wilderness, dazzling modernity and traditional observances, brash, buccaneering and Westernised, yet conservatively minded and Chinese to its core. Hong Kong surprises, delights and confounds with its cheerful contradictions and energetic inconsistency.
