Facts for Travellers to Hong Kong
Currency
The unit of currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HK$). Notes are in denominations of HK$10, HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500, and
HK$1,000. There is a nickel-and-bronze coin for HK$10 coin; HK$1, HK$2, and HK$5 silver coins, and 50cents, 20cents and
10cents bronze coins.
Weather (www.weather.gov.hk/contente.htm)
Hong Kong's high season, October through late December, is popular for a reason: the weather is pleasant, with sunny days and
cool, comfortable nights. January, February, and sometimes early March are more cloudy and cold, with occasional showers.
Although high humidity might arrive prematurely in March and April, these months are generally pleasant for travelling. By May the
temperature is consistently warm and comfortable.
June through September is typhoon season, when the weather is hot, sticky, and very rainy. Typhoons (called hurricanes in the
Atlantic) must be treated with respect, and Hong Kong is prepared for these blustery assaults; if a storm is approaching, the
airwaves will crackle with information, and your hotel and various public institutions will post the appropriate signals. When a No. 8
typhoon signal is hoisted, activities in Hong Kong will be affected. For safety, head immediately for your hotel and stay put.

Language
Hong Kong's official languages are English and Chinese. The most commonly spoken Chinese dialect is Cantonese, but Mandarin -
the official language of China, known in Hong Kong as Putonghua - is gaining in popularity. In hotels, major restaurants, stores, and
tourist centres, almost everyone speaks English. This is not always the case, however, with taxi drivers, bus drivers, and workers in
small shops, cafes, and market stalls.
Transportation
Transport facilities are very comprehensive in Hong Kong. There are variety choices of public transport to take for sightseeing and
the prices are modest. Most of the public transportation such as bus, mini-bus, MTR (Mass Transit Railway) and train provide air-
conditioned services, which make summer travel more comfortable.
Business Hours
Nearly all businesses, even tourist-related ones, will shut down for major holidays such as Chinese Lunar New Year, Christmas and
New Years.
Stores usually open around 10 am and stay open until 9 or 9:30 pm, especially in tourist and residential areas. Here's an estimate
of store hours by neighbourhood: Central, 10 am - 6 pm; Causeway Bay and Wanchai, 11 am - 10 pm; Tsim Sha Tsui East, 11 am -
9 pm; Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, and Mong Kok, 11 am - 10 pm.
Museums & Sights
Museums and sights are usually open six days a week from 9 am to 5 pm, with day-off usually falls on Tuesday or Thursday. Call
the destination before visiting. Admission is free for every Wednesdays.

25 and 26). There are also numerous Chinese holidays throughout the year.
Health
The major health risk for travellers overseas is traveller's diarrhea, caused by eating contaminated fruit or vegetables or drinking
contaminated water. Watch what you eat: stay away from ice, uncooked food, and unpasteurised milk and milk products. Note, too,
that eating raw shellfish has been associated with recent hepatitis outbreaks in Hong Kong. Drink only bottled water or water that
has been boiled for at least 20 minutes. Expect to pay HK$5 to HK$10 for a litre of bottled distilled water.

The electrical current in Hong Kong is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC).
Telephone services
Calls from public phones cost HK$1. You can also make long-distance calls (IDD) from public pay phones. An easy method of
