I would say Autumn is the best time to visit Hong Kong (and go hiking!). It is usually sunny but not too hot and humid (Summer in Hong Kong is super hot and humid!). Visit the High Island Reservoir to learn the geological history of Hong Kong. In here, you can find a large number of orderly-arranged rare hexagonal volcanic rock columns. These rocks are formed 140 millions years ago after the volcano eruption in Sai Kung area. Due to earth movement, some hexagonal columns twisted and formed the S-shaped columns. I was amazed by all these rock formations. Remember NOT to step on these columns as they are weathered! There are still fallen trees around Hong Kong after typhoon Mangkhut, beware of fallen trees during the hike and enjoy!
