Hong Kong Tourist Guides — Events

Events in Hong Kong are happening throughout the year. Be film festivals or concerts of musicians, Hong Kong is always jingling with small and great events. In fact while determining the perfect occasions for the events to take place, the city looks into both the Western calendar and the Chinese lunar calendar. The Chinese New Year is celebrated in the month of February, with great bang and glittering fire works. This is the time to bury the hatchet and settle with whatever credits you have incurred. Art lovers can get to watch great theatrical productions. These may span over Broadway musicals, contemporary and Chinese dance to even ballads. Apart from these, the sporty ones can go for horse racing, golf and soccer.

Cheung Chau Bun Festival is the time to delight the ghosts! Nevertheless pleasing them is a 'pricey' affair because specially made colorful 'paper money' is to be burned down, plus some food is also offered to the invisible ones. So, when you see three 16m bamboo sticks and paper towers covered with cute pink and white buns, plus children 'floating' high, know that these are nothing as far as the 'gratification' of the ghosts is concerned.

Spring brings 'spices' in the Hong Kong lifestyle. Why? The reason is simple; it's time for Hong Kong Food Festivals. There are gala parties thrown over in hotels and the delightful aroma of delicacies is carried throughout the city.

Bunches of vibrantly decked out .junhs. and .sampans. through Hong Kong's waterway are seen to be sailing on the occasion of Tin Hau Festival. April-May is the time for this Birthday bash for the Sea Goddess. There are parades and Chinese opera performances in the honor of the Goddess.

Coming down to the months of May-June there is biting excitement all over Hong Kong. The heart beats faster for the speed lovers; of course it's the Dragon Boat (Tuen Ng) Festival, which makes the island go in a whirl. The narrow boats designed to endow a dragon look, are chosen for the .weapons. of the contest. The uproar in the river created by these fast boats are enough to frighten off the fishes underwater (the myth confirms that this was the very intention of the people, to save the corpse of their hero who sacrificed his life in the river, in the mark of protest against the king).

Mid-Autumn Festival is for the family reunion! All the members gather to have a great candle lit dinner and not to forget those delicious moon cakes!

Spring Lantern Festival (February 26) tells that the time to end the Chinese New Year celebration has finally arrived. So, it ends with beautifully crafted and lit lanterns.
