If you dream of piercing into the mysteries of charming and enigmatic Hong Kong, enjoying its beauty and allure, and getting a bird’s-eye view of it, then a rooftop bar is the best idea! Cool wind, exotic cocktail or champagne in your hand, and majestic scenery - that’s what these Hong Kong skybars are all about. Below 10 of the best of them are presented according to their price ranges.
Weather considerations: Although many tourists think that in summer time there is the threat of typhoons in Hong Kong, they usually don’t cause much damage and last not more than 1/3 of a month. During typhoon periods the sultry summer air becomes extremely fresh and cooling, pleasing the millions of holiday-makers. Skybars are also worth visiting in mild winter, changeable spring, and extremely pleasant and sunny autumn, since the Hong Kong weather usually won’t spoil your impression.
