💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A full meal at a Hong Kong cha chaan teng runs about £5.90, cheaper than a single pint in London (£6.75 on average). Happy hour drops a local beer to £4.60 and a cocktail to £7.10, roughly the price of a flat white and a bus fare back home. Even at full price, a cappuccino is £4.30, still less than a London coffee (£4.52).
☀️ The Weather
Hong Kong stays properly warm through October, highs near 29°C and the air still thick with summer humidity. November eases off to a pleasant 26°C, arguably the best month to visit. December through February is the cool season, days between 14-20°C and January dipping coldest at 16°C, jacket weather after dark. By March the city is warming again, 18-22°C and drier, spring properly under way.

🎯 What to Do
Hong Kong runs on contrast: neon streets and quiet hiking trails, all a short MTR ride apart.
Victoria Peak Tram - Ride to the top for the best skyline-and-harbour view in Asia.
M+ Museum - A full afternoon of contemporary art and design on the West Kowloon waterfront.
Temple Street Night Market - Street food, fortune tellers and haggling under the neon signs.
Symphony of Lights over Victoria Harbour - A free nightly light show only Hong Kong puts on at this scale.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Hong Kong makes an easy jumping-off point for the wider Pearl River Delta.
Macau - 60 minutes by ferry, Portuguese-Cantonese old town and casino skyline.
Shenzhen - A short MTR ride and border crossing for OCT Loft's art scene and sprawling markets.
Lantau Island - Cable car to the Big Buddha and Ngong Ping village, still inside Hong Kong.
Cheung Chau - A slow ferry to a car-free fishing island, good for a beach afternoon.
