guest16208	Hi everyone, I have lots of questions to ask... 1) Is it advisable to go in May? Do {Hong Kong,https://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/} rain often in May? If it rains, can we still go to the Peak? 2) Which is better? Octopus card on-loan or Airport Express tourist pass? 3) I checked with the hotel they have shuttle bus from airport to hotel but cost HKD$130. Is it much cheaper to go by mtr? 4) What is the difference between Kowloon city and Kowloon bay? Which is nicer to shop at? 5) Where can I view the synonyms of light? Is there a place to have dinner and view the show? Thank you

1){Hong Kong,http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/} weather in spring from March to mid-May tends to be warm and humid, accompanied by fog and drizzle. Sometimes air and ferry services are halted due to reduced visibility. Read [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/climate/hongkong.htm]Hong Kong Weather[/tcgurl] to learn more.
2)You may refer to [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/transportation/octopus-card.htm]Octopus Card[/tcgurl] and [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/airport-express-pass.htm]Airport Express Pass[/tcgurl] to see the differences.
3)Which hotel have you booked already? Why not try [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/transportation/air-bus.htm]Hong Kong airport shuttle bus[/tcgurl]? The fare is usually around HK$30-40.
4)You may go to the Avenue of Stars to view “[tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/hongkong/symphony-of-lights.htm]A Symphony of Lights[/tcgurl]”.

The best places to appreciate the show are
1. from Star Avenue to the coast beside the Hong Kong Cultural Center
2. the waterfront promenade on Wan Chai Golden Bauhinia Square
3. Or a Victoria Harbor cruise
