Swap the grey commute for junks on Victoria Harbour, dim sum at 7am and hikes that end on a beach.

💰 How far does your money go?
A pint in London now costs £6-7. In Hong Kong, that buys a bowl of wonton noodles and a milk tea at a local cha chaan teng. The Star Ferry crossing costs about 50p, and a trip on the double-decker trams is under 40p, cheaper than any bus in London.
☀️ The Weather
November is Hong Kong's sweet spot: highs of 24-26°C, low humidity and almost no rain. December cools to 19-21°C by day, which is ideal for hiking. Bring a light layer for the evenings and the heavy air conditioning indoors.
