Christmas in Hong Kong

Christmas in Hong Kong

Even when I’m in Hong Kong in July, I start thinking about Christmas. Christmas decorations go up in Kowloon (it’s hard to spot the neon amid all the neon) in mid-November, when stores begin their Christmas promotions.
Christmas permeates the air; even street markets sell decorations—plastic wreaths, silk flowers, ornaments, and more. You’ll also be thrilled to find Victorian-style embroidered tree ornaments in stores in Hong Kong.

Today, Wherever you look, the Hong Kong’s towering skyscrapers on both sides of the harbour will be decked out in radiant illuminations that are sure to amaze your senses. During the Christmas period, in popular tourist districts, you’ll see a mobile Christmas Antique Tram, a Big Bus and a Themed Truck with carol singers spreading happiness and cheer.

You’re sure to be dazzled by the giant Christmas Tree in Hong Kong's Statue Square that will attract one and all to the joy and excitement of Hong Kong Winterfest 2008. Make a date to meet friends and family by this shining beacon of light and happiness.
