Nothing can be more frustrating to find out that the must-see attraction, museum or institution you planed to visit is closed due to statutory holidays. It is always a good idea to take a closer look at the list of 2019 Hong Kong Public Holidays to avoid delays and closure times or incredible crowds.

* Hong Kong Government is very generous when it comes to official holidays. Since Easter Monday falls on a Sunday in 2019, Hong Kong Government decided to designate the following day as general holiday substitution. So as the Birthday of the Buddha. Since this holiday also falls on a Sunday in 2019, the following day will be designated as a general holiday as substitution. |
