What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Hong Kong for May 28 to June 25, 2027, round trips of 3 to 5 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- It is a public holiday and the whole city comes; get there before 9am for a spot on the sand.
- Sai Kung and Aberdeen hold quieter traditional races the same day if you want the fishing-village version.
- Airport Express to Hong Kong station, then bus 6, 6X or 260 from Central to Stanley, about 40 minutes; taxis are scarce on race day.
