Autumn (October–December) for the most pleasant weather and clearer skies. Spring (April–May) is culturally significant for the Bun Festival but can be crowded. Summer (June–August) is hot, humid and good for swimming if you don’t mind the heat; be aware of typhoon season (July–September).

Subtropical maritime climate: hot, humid summers with frequent showers and thunderstorms, and mild, relatively dry winters. Bring sun protection in summer and a light layer in winter.

Cheung Chau is accessible by regular and fast ferry services from Central Ferry Piers (typically the island ferry terminal). Journey times vary by service: regular ferries ~50–60 minutes, fast ferries ~30–40 minutes (times approximate). Ferries also run from other piers at times of the year. From Hong Kong International Airport, take the Airport Express or MTR to Central, then walk to the ferry pier. On the island, transport is mainly walking, bicycles and occasional small electric vehicles—private cars are generally not used.

For most visitors, a day trip (4–8 hours) is sufficient to see the highlights. If you want to relax, sample more seafood and explore slowly, consider staying 1–2 days.

Comfortable walking shoes, light breathable clothing, wide-brim hat and sunscreen for sun protection, swimwear and towel if visiting beaches, and a light rain jacket or umbrella during the wet season.

Try fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, local fish balls and curry fishballs, traditional pastries and seafood congee. Popular souvenirs include bun-festival themed trinkets, handcrafted shell items, and packaged local snacks.
