Best Things to Do in Hong Kong in October
Experience Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second biggest holiday in China. It's the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It occasionally falls near the October 1 National Day holidays and becomes a part of the "golden week" holidays.
You can not only taste various moon cakes, but also have a chance to see magical lantern exhibitions and carnivals. There are traditional stage shows, palm readings, game stalls, lantern riddle quizzes and many more. The grandest of all of these is held in Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island.
Sightsee on Victoria Peak
The fine and clear early fall weather is a fine time to go up Victoria Peak and walk around on the paths that wind around the crown of the mountain. Many people will find summer weather too warm and humid and the winter weather too foggy, grey, and cold on the peak (554 meters or 1,818 feet) for comfort.
Victoria PeakHike on Lantau Island

This island is famous for well-laid hiking path, verdant country parkland, white beaches, traditional fishing village, and sea food, etc.
