One of the most densely populated corners of the globe, Hong Kong is a picturesque port full of high fashion, commerce and great food. Its humidity and rain showers are infamous, so be prepared.
Instructions
1. Prepare for heat and intense humidity when visiting from May to September. Lightweight clothes made of breathable materials, such as linen and cotton, are essential to stay cool during this period.
2. Bring traditional business attire. Suits are standard for men, while women can get away with fashion-forward suits whose skirts hit above the knee.
3. Pack a raincoat if your visit is planned for after September. This time of year brings heavy rain and fierce winds. An umbrella is appropriate any time of year.
4. Take dressy casual garments such as khakis, dresses, skirts, button-down shirts and colorful T-shirts to blend into this fashionable crowd. Sandals are appropriate for summer, provided the toes are closed. This will keep your feet clean when traversing the often dirty and very crowded city streets.
5. Pack a few sweaters, long pants and a coat for winter visits. Lightweight wool, flannel and microfiber will keep you warm in style. Take comfortable walking shoes or well-worn loafers.
6. Bring an electrical adapter and converter.
