Weather:
Hong Kong has 4 seasons in a year, and the temperature is between 4 degrees and 34 degrees. With the temperature between December and March, the temperature may be below 14 degrees, and a down jacket may be required. The rest of the time only needs T Just a shirt and a normal jacket.
Especially around June to September, when the temperature is more often around 30 degrees, T-shirts and shorts or skirts will make you more comfortable. But this is the rainy season and typhoon season in Hong Kong. Umbrellas are a must-have tool
language:
Because Hong Kong people have already learned English in primary schools and Mandarin classes in middle schools, there is basically no language barrier when they travel to Hong Kong. Moreover, some young people in Hong Kong can even learn Japanese or Korean by themselves, which is of course convenient for tourists.
Are Hong Kong people friendly?
I think the answer is yes. Especially for tourists. Because Hong Kong has been visited by tourists from all over the world for many years. The basic courtesy of receiving tourists is necessary for employees in the service industry or retail industry.
Moreover, Hong Kong people may sometimes be impatient despite their busy and stressful life. But one thing is for sure, they are willing to help others. Please believe that every Hong Kong person welcomes foreigners, even if they are not engaged in tourism and services, Retail, etc work. I can attest to this
