Hong Kong and Zhangjiajie Travel Tips

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Wulingyuan Scenic Area

The best time to go is when there are no public holidays in China, as it gets really busy, and when the weather in Zhangjiajie is best between September and early November. You can also go between April and June if you don't mind humidity and the occasional rain.

Hong Kong's weather is a little different: September is likely to still be very hot in Hong Kong though, so October or November are better for visiting Hong Kong if you don't cope with heat well.

Chinese public holidays will lead to more expensive accommodation and flights (and sold out flights), these times are:

• China's summer holiday season (July and August)
• Labor Day (May 1–3)
• National Day (October 1–7)
• Spring Festival (late January or early to mid February)
