Hong Kong's subtropical climate is largely influenced by south-southwest monsoon in summer and the north-northwest monsoon in winter, resulting in four distinct seasons and quite remarkable seasonal changes.
To make the best of a Hong Kong holiday, you should pack according to the season in the first place.
You might need a sweater or a water-proof jacket to deal with the occasional mist and showers in Spring.
While in summer when temperatures can reach as high as 35C and humidity gets as saturated as 100 percent, loose-fitting clothes made of lightweight natural fabrics suit you best.
You might also want to bring a umbrella or hat to ward off the intense sunshine when going outdoors, and a jacket or pullover for air-conditioned indoors;
When temperatures and humidity drop in autumn, mid-weight clothing for the day, preferably geared towards moderate outdoor recreation, and sweaters or light jackets for the cooler evenings sohuld suffice.
For the coolish winter, a overcoat, jumper, and other woollen warm clothing are worth trying on.
Hong Kong is also an internationally acclaimed Fashion City, where you may have plenty of chances to dress up a little.
For entry in fancy restaurants and better nightspots, smart casual attire is suggested. Those visiting on business or attending international/regional conferences are advised to leave room in the luggage for some formal suits.

2.Health & Hygiene
Air pollution:
Due to the large scale population flow and the seasonal monsoons, the level of air pollution in Hong Kong can vary drastically.
Generally speaking, periods of very bad air pollution happen other than the Summer months when air from South China Sea neutralizes the smog, and major holidays in both Mainland China and Hong Kong when factories close down.
Those suffering from serious respiratory problems should consult qualified doctors for medical advice beforhand and bring ample supplies of prescribed medication.
Dining tips:
Better dine in QTS Scheme Certified restaurants;
Smoke-free section in a 200+ seats restaurant is guaranteed by the law;
Make clear to the the waiters how spicy you want your orders to be cooked.
Drinking water:
Tap water in Hong Kong is potable, but ottled water tastes bette and is on sale everywhere.
Littering/spitting:
A fixed penalty fines of HK$1,500 for littering or spitting, as well as other regulations meant to maintain environmental hygiene are strickly observed in Hong Kong.
Smoking:
In most enclosed public places, like restaurants, shopping malls, karaokes and some bars, as well as some outdoor public space, such as public beaches, swimming pools, transport interchanges and outside escalators, smoking is prohibited.
Vaccination:
No special vaccination is required for visitors entering Hong Kong, but this may change at short notice, as advised by the Department of Health.

3.Safety & Security

Be wary of requests for money from beggers, monks and self-proclaimed magicians;
Heed and obey all weather warnings seriously, especially of typhoons and rainstorms;
Look both ways and listen to the audible aid at at every intersection when cross the street.

4. Culture & Social Conventions
English is very widely spoken most hotels, restaurants and even some taxis;
Although seemingly hurried and detached, most Hong Kong people in shops and restaurants are helpful and friendly;
Public nudity is illegal anywhere in Hong Kong, but women wearing sleeveless tops and halternecks are easily tolerated;
Caucasian foreigners are referred to as gwai lo, literally meaning "ghost guy", by doing so no derogatory meaning is intended;
Sensitive topics, like the difference between mainland Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese and other Asians, or the controversial political issues, are better avoided.
