About 20% of the land is lowland, mainly concentrated in the northern part of the New Territories. They are the Yuen Long Plains and the Fanling Lowlands, both of which are alluvial plains naturally formed by rivers; followed by the Kowloon Peninsula and the northern part of Hong Kong Island.

The temperature may drop below 10℃ in winter and rise to above 31℃ in summer. Rainfall is concentrated from May to September, accounting for about 80% of the annual rainfall. There is abundant rainfall throughout the year, fragrant flowers all year round, warm and foggy spring, hot and rainy summer, sunny autumn and slightly dry and cold winter.
