Hong Kong
A skyline stacked so tight the ferry ride across the harbour is a tourist attraction in itself, dim sum as the default weekend plan, and hiking trails that somehow start twenty minutes from the trading floor.
The best time to visit Hong Kong is Oct–Dec, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (81°F). Local time there is 03:18 (UTC+8).
