Hong Kong has over a dozen festivals. Majority of which celebrate life and honor the departed. Among the major holidays, the most prominent is the Chinese(Lunar) New Year. For the locals, it is the most wonderful time of the year. The holiday of holidays. A time when people take a break from their stressful lives and reconnect with families and friends. A time to reflect and unwind. The festive mood could be felt for days leading up to the celebration. Chinese New Year songs are played everywhere. Adding more excitement to the already saturated atmosphere of celebratory ambiance.
People embrace the minor inconveniences that go along with a huge festival such as this. Many shops and restaurants close down during the big day. On the other hand, supermarkets and convenience stores remain open to the public. A great deal of preparation is being invested every year to ensure a worthwhile celebration.
You can visit places like Victoria Peak to get in all the action from a birds eye view as it overlooks the city. Or even visit the Central District where you will be able to get all the bargains during this big festival. The Central District holds the biggest shopping malls and is bumping during the new years.
