Secondly, HKG friends tell me to avoid HKG in summer. I regularly visit my in laws in malaysia so I am used to heat/humidity. Is HKG much different from say Penang at that time of year? |
If you're only going to spend one day shopping in Shenzen for fakes, then stay in HK where there is a lot more to do and see, and it's easier/safer for tourists to get around. Or you could spend three days in HK then 2 days in SZ and go back to the airport from there.
July this year was the most beautiful month of the year, the skies were clear and the weather was super nice. So if you don't mind the humidity, July is fine.
