How about a trip to Macao
A Brief Summary
This tiny (you could fit 15 Macao’s inside the M25!) Special Administrative Region of China is Asia’s answer to Las Vegas. And as answers go, it’s a good one! With some of the largest hotels and casinos in the world, all located in a very unusual cultural melee of Chinese and Portuguese, this is a truly unique destination. If you’re after long sandy beaches and peace and quiet, Macao simply isn’t for you, but if you’re after a very different gambling and nightlife experience, in one of the most technologically advanced places on earth that very few could locate on a map, then the warmth and sunshine of Macao in December could well be for you.

About the Weather
Hong Kong’s climate is heavily determined by its position on the South China Sea and indicative of this region. High humidity and warm or hot temperatures dominate the region’s weather year-round. November to February is mostly dry and very mild, but becomes increasingly cloudy as you reach late February and early March, the most overcast time of year. Temperatures average 20°c during this period, with humidity around 75% and light showers. April to October sees the rainy season and even higher humidity, often exceeding 90%, with temperatures regularly above 30°c making the weather feel particularly oppressive. Sunshine peaks during July but the season from July to October is relatively sunny, despite the heavy rains. Major typhoons aren’t common, but smaller storms frequently pass nearby, leading to rough seas, strong winds and torrential rains.
