Poor weather, weak yuan threaten HK's Golden Week plans for mainland Chinese tourists


HONG KONG: Hong Kong has pulled out all the stops to welcome at least 800,000 mainland visitors during China’s five-day Labour Day holiday, but stormy weather and a weak yuan threaten to throw a wrench into the works.

Thunderstorms and occasional showers have been forecasted throughout the Golden Week national holiday from May 1 to 5, with some sunny intervals only in the final three days, according to the Hong Kong Observatory.
