September through November is the best time to visit Hong Kong. Warm and balmy, the scorching summer well and truly over. In September the highs are just over 30 °C (86 °F) with lows of 25 °C (77 °F), but by November the mercury perpetually hovers between 20 (68 °F) and 25 °C. With the exception of September when the typhoon season is tailing off, autumn is dry. October sees rainfall of just 4 mm per day, and umbrellas are finally packed away. It is an ideal time to sail to one of the regions 200 islands, offering clean quiet beaches. Despite the region’s high population density, and perhaps due to the sheer busyness of the Hong Kong people, the beaches here are much underused and it is not difficult to find one all to yourself.
Experience the best of Hong Kong on a 4-day journey that showcases the world-class metropolis' rich cultural heritage, gastronomic wonders, verdant terrains and vibrant atmosphere.

In an effort to end a plague that ravished the village of Tai Hang in the 19th century, locals performed a fire dragon dance, which miraculously did the job. To this day, the ritual is still performed - but now on a much grander scale. The dance now sees some 300 performers, 72,000 incense sticks and a 220-foot dragon.

Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
It was everything we expected and then some. Remote Lands was great and I would definitely use your agency again for another trip
We wanted to visit hospitals, a nursing class, and a school classroom to interact with the local people, and Remote Lands was able to arrange all of this for us.
The Asaro Mudman tribal people took us where no tourists had been before, down through their lands to the source of the clay they use to make their tribal masks.
You are invited to Remote Lands’ signature Aman Jet Expeditions, in partnership with our friends at Aman. These are small group journeys designed for people who usually travel independently.
