What’s on in December
Timing a trip around these changes what you pay and what you can book.
Christmas lights and the New Year's Eve countdown
The towers on both sides of the harbour are lit up for Christmas, and on New Year's Eve the countdown with fireworks over Victoria Harbour draws hundreds of thousands to the waterfronts: arrive hours early, and expect the MTR stations nearby to close or run one way at times.
What it costs
For two sharing a room; 2 days on the ground, getting there not included.
Budget
₹24,803 for two
- Room a night₹7,930

Totals cover the room (taxes included), food, local transport, entry and a 10% buffer: the figures the planner opens on. These are typical rates; Tourisma has no month-by-month rates for Hong Kong yet, so they don't move with the month.

Entry rules
No visa needed for up to 14 days
- Before you fly, register online for the free Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) for Indian nationals on the Hong Kong Immigration Department website (immd.gov.hk). It must succeed before you travel; do it as soon as you book, so there is time to apply for a visa if it does not.
- Print the PAR notification slip on blank white A4 paper and sign it. Airlines ask for it at check-in and will not board you without it; show it again at Hong Kong immigration. One registration is valid for six months.
- You may stay up to 14 days a visit. For a longer stay, or if your registration fails, you need a visa from the Immigration Department before you travel.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive; Signed PAR notification slip, printed on A4 paper; Confirmed return or onward ticket within 14 days; Hotel bookings for the stay; Proof of funds (bank statement or cards), if the officer asks.
The registration is free: sites that charge for it are not the Immigration Department. It covers Hong Kong only: Macau and mainland China have their own entry rules, so check them before a side trip.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
