Hi all,
I am stuck between going to Hong Kong either during the Canton Fair or during the Golden Week.
Please let me know which week is better or cheaper to go. I am given the impression from some of the guidebooks that the hotels might be more expensive/more booked during the Canton Fair.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Better Time to Go to Hongkong - APRIL 14-17 VS. MAY 3-6
I think it%26#39;s better to go in April since the HK hotels will be crowded with mainland Chinese tourists during the May holiday.
Better Time to Go to Hongkong - APRIL 14-17 VS. MAY 3-6
I would disagree with the previous post. April %26#39;s hotels in HK are the most expensive and October.... during the year for HK %26#39;s hotels.
In fact, I don%26#39;t even know if you are going to be successful in getting any ';decent%26#39; hotels now if you haven%26#39;t booked yet.
There are FAR more people in April for conventions, and exhibits and Easter holiday, and for the Canton Fair than May%26#39;s golden week.
May%26#39;s golden week is not so ';golden'; anymore. There are a lot of choices for Mainlanders now that are more interesting than HK. Of course it%26#39;s still a little surge during the first 10 days of May and October and CNY of mainlanders, but it%26#39;s not a big deal anymore. I think everyday I see alot of mainlanders around HK.
What%26#39;s MOST important is: the hotel rankings. 2-3 star hotels will be more booked and expensive during May b/c most mainlanders tourst and groups book these type of hotels.
5 star hotels are rarely used by these groups.
A lot of the business hotels will also be fine.
So May is a better time, in my opinion.
Oops. Didn%26#39;t know about April as popular convention month in HK....good to know the next time I return.
Thank you both for the quick reply.
I guess I am going for May then.
