  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.

The MTR Mobile and MTR website will continue to provide updates on the supply at stations. (Please refer to the annex for details about the locations of the vending machines.) Members of the public can scan the QR codes near the vending machines for information about returning the specimen collected.

  • Written Reply by LCSD
    25 July 2017 WCDC DWFMC Paper No. 29/2017 Written Question Written Reply by LCSD Issues Concerning the Reprovisioing of Southorn Playground In response to the enquiry of Ms LEE Pik-yee, Peggy, a Member of Wan Chai District Council, regarding the reprovisioning of Southorn Playground, the response of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is given below: 2. To tie in with MTR Wan Chai Station Lee Tung Street Subway project of the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), some facilities at Southorn Playground of LCSD, including the four basketball courts and children’s play equipment were temporarily closed from 16 January 2014 to 31 December 2017. During the works period, the four basketball courts were closed one by one to minimise the inconvenience caused to the public. 3. MTRCL will also enhance the leisure facilities at Southorn Playground during the above project, including the resurfacing of basketball courts, replacement of basketball backstops, lockers and children’s play equipment, etc. LCSD is negotiating with MTRCL regarding the relevant design proposal of the children’s play equipment. The proposal mainly includes the provision of one set of play equipment (including slides and play panels) for children aged two to five, one set of play equipment (including slides and bridges) for children aged five to twelve, one set of lift up equipment, one set of ripple and one set of stand-n-spin. 4. MTRCL anticipated that the enhancement works (including the enhancement of children’s play equipment and resurfacing of basketball courts) of the whole of Southorn Playground will be completed by the end of 2017.

  • Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways
    CB(4)538/17-18(03) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Latest Progress of Enhancement of MTR Station Facilities Purpose This paper briefs the Subcommittee on the latest progress of the enhancement of station facilities by the MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”). Background 2. The MTRCL is committed to providing safe, reliable and smooth railway service for over 5 million passenger trips per day. The public demand and expectation over the MTRCL as the major transport operator has been on the rise over the years. To maintain quality railway service, the MTRCL invests billions of dollars1 annually in enhancing, revitalising and maintaining its railway assets and infrastructure, including enhancing the facilities at the 93 stations under the current railway network. 3. In enhancing our station facilities, the MTRCL attaches great importance to the views of passengers and stakeholders in the community. We also strive to overcome the constraints at each station caused by its unique features, history, construction parameters, and usable areas. In our endeavour for continuous improvement by learning from past experience, the MTRCL seeks to improve the design and planning for future stations to give more convenience to passengers. 4. The ensuing paragraphs highlight the key improvement works carried out at our stations. 1 The MTRCL invested over 6 billion dollars in 2014 in enhancing, revitalising and maintaining its railway assets and infrastructure. This investment has increased significantly per year to over 8 billion dollars in 2016, which accounts for more than 40% of the 17.7. billion dollars revenue from the Corporation’s Hong Kong transport operations.
