I never thought I spent Summer days and nights in another city. When I travel to other countries, I always want to experience other seasons such as Winter, Autumn, and Spring. But spending Summer in Hongkong was an exemption. Thanks to Flight 5J240 for taking us to HK safely and to the accommodating Hongkong Tourism Board for ironing out our itinerary very well. Here's my Summer Days in Hongkong Story!

My favorite Seasons ever are Autumn and winter. Maybe it's because I'm a sweaty kind of person - a person who is into sports and physical activities that's why coldness is my personal best friend. So, when I heard that we are visiting Hongkong in the Summer season, I was hesitant at first. I mean I've been to Thailand during Songkran Week and it was very humid and the heat is so different here in Cebu. But when the itinerary was presented plus a list of Cebu Content Creators who I dearly like very much - so it was a GO! 

Our day started with pleasant vibes at Mactan-Cebu International Aiport with my friends from the Media, Cebu Bloggers, and Content Creators who met after checked-in at the Cebu Pacific Air service counter before heading to Cebu's Immigration. And promise, the Immigration officers here in Cebu did not ask for the Graduation yearbook! Okay, it's not funny! 

The flight from Cebu to Hongkong took an estimated 2 Hours and a Half. It was a short-haul flight but I had fun while resting and of course, enjoying the in-flight meals served to us by the smiling Crew! We arrived at Hongkong International Airport safely and I was so glad our Tour Guide, Mr. Martin, and a representative of HKB, Ms. Joy Mirasol, were there already welcoming us with a big greeting!!

⚠️ RECOMMENDATION: If you are traveling to HK for Vacation, make sure to check the Hong Kong Tourism Board booth and get a lot of freebies from their "Hello HongKong Goodies" in which you can choose from welcome Drinks from Hotels and Destinations, Get HK$100 cash voucher or Redeem an exclusive offer! 

We did not wait for another hour and we directly went off to our tourist destination that day which was going to Ngong Ping Village while thrill-riding a 360 Crystal Glass Cable Car! It was an adrenaline-pumping first day, maybe because I got excited and I missed HK, too! During our short stay, we visited a lot of Tourist Destinations and Activities but for me, the highlights were the Ngong Ping Village Visit, Art appreciation at the M+ Museum, Shopping in K11 Musea and Harbour City Malls, enjoying the HK skyline at the top floor of Sky100 Observatory and finally, a day in Hongkong Disneyland! I could not talk about our experiences one by one but let me give you a list of spots and activities where you can enjoy during the Summer Season in Hongkong. 

⚠️ PERSONAL TIP: Before you go to your planned spots, make sure to bring extra clothes, a face towel, a drinking water container, and a portable electric hand fan. In this way, you will surely enjoy your summer getaway in Hongkong! And an important note, as much as possible if a destination or attraction can be purchased in Klook, make sure to do it before flying to HK. It would be less hassle and a much more convenient way of enjoying Hong Kong.

With the overlooking view of Victoria Harbour, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel is the Hotel that every Tourist should choose!  It's a center of everything, from shopping, food stores and booths, nightlife and parties, and tourist spots - I think Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel is the best place to stay when traveling to Hongkong. 

In addition, Star Ferry and Ocean Terminals are a stone-throw from the Hotel. Guests can surely enjoy easy access to the area's major tourist attractions such as Kowloon Park, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum, and Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
