The perfect bloom to bring good luck for the Year

Spring has always been the season that symbolises rejuvenation and people attach a lot of meaning to Chinese New Year a good start is of utmost importance. Chinese New Year is the most boisterously celebrated Chinese festival in Hong Kong. It is that time of the year when locals pay gratitude for the bygone year and offer prayers for good fortune in the coming New Year. The celebrations in Asia’s World City begin on an auspicious note with families visiting the temples. A huge rush can be seen at The Wong Tai Sin Temple giving to its popularity for its claim to ‘make every wish come true upon request’. It is impossible to not be caught up in the energy as you browse through the festive flower markets in search of the perfect bloom to bring good luck for the Year or a walk through the city’s streets adorned with shock-red lanterns. This ancient festival also gets a makeover that is uniquely Hong Kong with a fabulous parade of international and local performers, a stunning fireworks show over the harbour, The Hong Kong Pulse 3D Light Show and the heart-pounding action at the race track. It is on from 22 January to 12 February 2017.For more information visit: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/in/see-do/events-festivals/highlight-events/chinese-new-year-celebrations.jsp
