As HKG is on the Northern hemisphere I would imagine that the wind 100/31G50 would be steady wind from 100 degrees but the gust would be from somewhere between 120 and 130 degrees.
Not familiar with HKG local winds, but generally the gust will blow clockwise of the steady wind.
Anyway it sounds like a difficult approach.
