Insider Tips: Please be noted that during the Hong Kong public holidays, especially the Chinese New Year holidays, Easter holidays, National Day holidays and Christmas holidays, there usually will be more tourists visiting Hong Kong. These periods are the peak seasons for hotels that if you plan to visit Hong Kong during the holidays, we would recommend to book earlier. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s attractions will be also more crowded than other days.
