HOT DOWN - Summer in the City
There’s no denying that summer in the Fragrant Harbour can be hot and sticky, but thankfully help is at hand with a brilliant range of options to beat the heat and allow you to see the city at its best.
“Most obviously, as Hong Kong is composed of 263 islands, we’re surrounded by water!”
as soon as you jump into the ocean..

A boat trip out on the iconic harbour brings natural air conditioning, be it in a converted junk, modern cruiser or even the venerable Star Ferry, plowing the waters since 1888. There’s no better way to see the city’s skylines with the waves and appreciate the thousands of skyscapers which make for such unique vistas. |
Beaches abound too, from the easy-going vibes and barbecue pit of South and Repulse Bay, the watersports of Cheung Chau island or the often-deserted beauty of Tai Long Wan, known as Big Wave Bay. Pristine sands, decent waves and fresh currents, it's hard to believe you're in Hong Kong |

If you’re not a water baby, then Hong Kong’s famous malls provide welcome respite through air-conditioned shopping comfort, meaning you needn’t break sweat, other than looking at your credit card bill! Of course another way to keep cool comes in the form of ice cold food and drinks, with no shortage of spots to get your gelati on or kick back with a beer or cool glass of Rosé. With a table al fresco, and maybe the help of a strategically-placed fan, there’s arguably no better way to survive summer in the city! |
