🌍 About hong kong

Hong Kong is two cities stacked together: the wall of skyscrapers everyone pictures, and the green behind it — roughly 40% of the territory is protected country park. The Dragon's Back ridge trail in Shek O, a 20-minute drive from downtown towers, is one of the best urban hikes anywhere and ends at a beach. Eat roast goose, not dim sum first — the crisp-skinned, Michelin-starred kind at Yat Lok or Kam's. And take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour at least once; it's been running since 1888 and costs about HK$5, the cheapest great view on earth. Come late October to early December: dry, clear, 22–28°C, the year's best stretch. Skip July–September, when typhoons, heat, and 80% of the annual rain arrive together.
