Is March Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + 22°C (72°F) highs turn the Kowloon Peak trail into pure pleasure rather than a dripping ordeal
- + Hotel rates drop 25-30% from Chinese New Year peaks, and harbor-view rooms around Tsim Sha Tsui suddenly fit the budget
- + March light rewards photographers - that low-angle morning sun ignites the harbor between 7-9 AM before afternoon clouds muscle in
- + Food hawkers are back on Temple Street after winter break, egg waffle scent mingling with curry fishballs and incense drifting from Tin Hau Temple
- − UV index hits 8 - without SPF 50 you'll fry in 20 minutes, while humidity turns sunscreen into cling film
- − Sea fog barges in without warning, murdering those perfect harbor shots you lined up for Instagram
- − Some dai pai dong stalls remain shuttered for Chinese New Year recovery, keeping late-night Mong Kok dining thin until mid-March
Best Activities in March
Top things to do during your visit
March mornings nail the balance - cool enough for the 2 km (1.2 mile) climb to Suicide Cliff viewpoint, warm enough to ditch gloves. The sun crests over the harbor at 6:15 AM, gilding the IFC tower while throwing long shadows across Kowloon Bay. Sea fog usually burns off by 7 AM, gifting a 30-minute window for aerial shots of the city stirring awake
Evenings cool to 18°C (64°F) - good for three hours of outdoor dining without the summer drip. Hawkers have rolled back their fold-out tables, stinky tofu competing with ginger and scallions from claypot rice stalls. Weeknights draw 40% fewer tourists than weekends, so you won't waste 20 minutes queuing for curry fishballs
March's dry spell suits the 15 km (9.3 mile) loop through Kowloon City, past the former Walled City park where morning tai chi groups glide in slow motion. The route rolls on through old Kai Tak airport runway - now a vast cycling path - where elderly locals launch kites against the new cruise terminal. Afternoon clouds throw natural shade
Sunsets strike at 6:30 PM, that golden hour when mercury drops and harbor lights spark to life. Sea fog generally clears by late afternoon, delivering unobstructed views of the Central skyline mirrored in calm water. Traditional red-sail junks provide the most photogenic ride, gliding close enough to spot office workers still chained to desks in IFC
March's mild temperatures make two hours of outdoor market browsing comfortable - no sweat dripping while you haggle over silk scarves. The market runs at full tilt in March after winter lull, vendors slashing winter stock prices. Morning sellers (10-11 AM) bite harder before tour buses arrive, and the covered sections shield you from the 30% chance of afternoon showers
March Events & Festivals
What's happening during your visit
Runs through mid-March with shows at the Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. The harbor-front stage hosts Chinese opera, jazz bands, and modern dance - the glass wall lets you watch rehearsals from the promenade without paying a cent
