Kwai Chung is a district in the New Territories of Hong Kong rather than a separate city, north of Kowloon. It is dominated by the container port and by dense public housing estates on the hillsides above it.
The container terminals, among the busiest in the world, are the district's defining feature and are best appreciated from the surrounding hills. Hong Kong's central districts, Victoria Peak and the Star Ferry are a short MTR ride away, and the hiking trails of the New Territories start nearby.
The MTR serves the district with quick connections to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Buses and minibuses climb to the hillside estates, and the terrain is steep away from the harbour flat.
Autumn is much the most pleasant, dry and mild with clear air. Summers are hot, humid and subject to typhoons, and winters are cool and comfortable.
Hong Kong uses the HKD, calling code +852.
Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong dollar, and Cantonese is the everyday language with English also official and widely used. Contactless stored-value cards are used for almost all transport and many small purchases.
