Hong Kong is a very tropical place and it is tending towards temperate for nearly half the year. Later in the year during November and December is when there are pleasant breezes and plenty of sunshine. January and February are cloudier and sometimes there are cold fronts and then dry northerly winds. It is very uncommon for temperatures to drop below 10 degrees cellius in urban areas. The lowest temperature recorded is 0 degrees cellius at the Observatory.
May to August are hot and humid with occasional thunderstorms, mostly in the mornings. Afternoon temperatures often exceed 31 degrees.
July to September are the months during which Hong Kong is most likely to be affected by tropical cyclones.
There is only 1 river on the Hong Kong Island - and it's called WONG CHUK HANG NULLAH.
There are 34 rivers on the mainland - none of which I can pronounce - but here are a few! HA TSUEN NULLAH, HO CHUNG RIVER and the PING YUEN RIVER.
Hong Kong is not close to the system of major rivers in China, though the water to the west of Hong Kong is influenced by the PEARL RIVER.
Now, if there is only 1 thing that you do in Hong Kong - it's go to the Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. This area attracts the most exclusive people in Hong Kong and has the richest houses. To get to the Peak you catch the Peak Tram. The Peak is called Victoria Peak and is a mountain in the western half of Hong Kong Island. It is also known as Mt Austin. With an altitude of 552 metres it is the highest mountain on the island.
The biggest park in Hong Kong is Ocean Park. It is a marine life fun park with animal exhibits, thrill rides and shows. One of the main attractions in Ocean Park is called Thrill Mountain.
Hong Kong is also home to Disneyland. It opened 9 years ago on September 12th, 2005. Some of the rides are Mystic Manor, Mystic Point and Space Mountain.
