5 Reasons for Londoners to go to Hong Kong this Spring

Spring in London. The wet rainy season. While that may be good for you who love British weather, some of you may If you have not decided on your spring break yet, you may want to consider coming to Hong Kong this spring. Why is that so?

1. The flight from London to Hong Kong is so cheap

Qatar Airways is currently having a promotional fare from London to Hong Kong starting from GBP 475. I tried to put the date from 27 April 2016 to 4 May 2016 (which is the Labour Day week) and my flight ticket costs a total of GBP 473.95. The flight from London Heathrow to Hong Kong International Airport takes 16 to 17 hours so you may as well stay a bit longer in Hong Kong to enjoy the sunny side of Asia to the max. 

2. Hong Kong Hotels are affordable

Even though Hong Kong can be considered a metropolis, you can find both luxury and midscale accommodation in Hong Kong. If you prefer the luxury type of hotel with reasonable price, you can consider staying at W Hong Kong which costs HKD 2,640 (GBP 238.31) per night. If you'd rather not spend so much on accommodation, you may consider staying at midscale hotel like Butterfly on Morrison which costs only HKD 960 (GBP 86.65) per night. 

3. Hong Kong's transportation is so convenient

It is so easy and convenient to move around in Hong Kong. Visitors can travel by subway, bus, tram, taxi, or even ferry. I can say this is one of those countries which I did not get lost during my travel there. 

4. Hong Kong's weather is sunny

Even though it may be spring back in England, you can experience early summer if you go to Hong Kong in May. The typhoon season has not really kicked in too so the weather is just right for you to wander around comfortably. 

5. Hong Kong's food is so yummy

When you are in Hong Kong, it is time to stuff yourself with as many dim sum as possible. Hong Kong is the best place to eat Dim Sum. Causeway Bay has a lot of nice dim sum restaurant like Dao Xiang. I suggest you stay at one of the hotels in Causeway Bay area because it will be easy to walk to these yummy dim sum restaurants from your hotel.
