Dates to plan around
In Hong Kong
- Lunar New Year · 6–9 Feb 2027 (moon-dependent, may shift). Four days of statutory holiday from Saturday 6 to Tuesday 9 February; many small shops and family restaurants close for several days, and flights and hotels are pricier across the fortnight. source, checked 2026-10-09
- Hong Kong Sevens · 9–11 Apr 2027. Three days of rugby sevens at Kai Tak Stadium; hotels across Kowloon and Hong Kong Island fill with visiting fans, so a non-rugby trip is easier the week before or after. source, checked 2026-10-09
- National Day · 1 Oct. Statutory holiday on 1 October: offices and banks close and the harbour front is crowded in the evening; it also opens mainland China's holiday week, so expect heavy visitor numbers for several days. source, checked 2026-10-09
