Planning to visit hongkong by the end of august (25th to 30th) with 2 children age 7 and 11 and 1 infant, mainly interested in disney land, ocean theme park and victoria peak is it advisable to postpone the trip ( by end of december) because of heavy rains in august. Or go ahead with the current dates. Thankyou for your time
Dear Hussain, I checked the information from weather forecast bureau, it will rain in 7 days, but not details about the end of Aug.. In the end of December, it will be 15-20℃.It is not very cold, you could take some thick coat. I suggest you check the weather later to get the exact information before leaving for Hong Kong.

Hi, we plan to travel to Hongkong from the 10th to the 17th August. we have a child of 8yrs. Should we expect alot of rainfall this week as we plan to go both Ocean park at the start and Disneyland for the last 2 days. Also can you advise what kind of clothing to carry for all of us espcially for my daughter. Will it be hot enough to just be in shorts & T''s or leggings /jeans are better suited. Thanks
Dear Fabian Baptista, Based on the information from weather forecast bureau, it will be 28℃-30℃, it is hot and it will rain. You could take T-shirts and shorts. An umbrella is needed. You also could take jeans, in the shopping mall it wil be cool because of the air-conditioner. Lussie Lu Replied on 2012-08-06

We booked our trip in Hong Kong from 21/8/2012 till 27/8/2012.In case this week have a lot of rains, where is suitable place to hang out.Here we have 2 adults and 2 younger children.
Dear Tracy, As you said, there will be a heavy train this week, but it won't last long time. I searched on line, it will be sunny in about 4 days. The most of attractions are out of doors, eccapt the museums. You could realize the details about the main attractions in Hong Kong on our website.
