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.

  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • Paper on Fare Adjustment of Airport Express Line Prepared By
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(4)839/16-17(07) Ref. : CB4/PL/TP Panel on Transport Meeting on 21 April 2017 Background brief on fare adjustment of Airport Express Line Purpose This paper provides background information on the fare adjustment of of the Airport Express Line ("AEL"). It also summarizes the major views and concerns expressed by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members on the subject. Background 2. AEL provides a dedicated express railway service linking the city centre with the Hong Kong International Airport ("HKIA") and the AsiaWorld-Expo ("AWE"). It commenced operation in July 1998 to tie in with the opening of the new airport, and has been extended to AWE since December 2005 to serve passengers patronizing the exhibition centre. AEL is operated by the MTR Corporation Limited ("MTRCL"). At present, there are five stations along AEL, namely, AWE Station, Airport Station, Tsing Yi Station, Kowloon Station and Hong Kong Station. Patronage 3. As the clienteles of AEL are mainly passengers travelling to and from HKIA, MTRCL advises that its patronage fluctuates and is affected by various factors such as travel season and overall economic conditions. From 2006 to 2016, the average daily patronage of AEL increased from around 26 200 to around 44 100. Having regard to the growing loading in recent years, MTRCL has enhanced train frequency of AEL from 12 minutes to 10 minutes since January 2012, with a view to providing a better travelling environment for passengers. The patronage figures for the past decade are at Appendix I. - 2 - Fares 4. According to the Operating Agreement signed between the Government and MTRCL ("OA") upon the rail merger in 2007, AEL is not a public transport mode for daily commuting, but mainly for business and travelling.
