Hong Kong festivals are one of the main draws for tourists. With dance performances, traditional music, and street parades, these festivals have become an important part of Hong Kong culture. Hong Kong festivals ooze cultural magnetism.
Chinese New Year
One of the major celebrations in Hong Kong, Chinese New Year is a colourful festival, with red being the dominant colour. The festival brings people together, and people visit their relatives and friends to have a jolly time. Hong Kong is busy during Chinese New Year; hotels like Cosmo Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong are often booked out, and the chances of finding a Hong Kong boutique hotel close to city attractions are quite low.
Birthday of Che Kung
A military commander in the Sung Dynasty, Che Kung is an important historical figure in Hong Kong. People have been worshipping him for centuries. The 3rd of the first lunar month is the birthday of Che Kung, which is a day when the Che Kung Temple sees thousands of devotees.
Spring Lantern Festival
To witness Spring Lantern Festival, visit Hong Kong at the end of February or the beginning of March. Streets, restaurants, hotels, and houses light up with colourful lanterns in celebration of the Spring Lantern Festival; it’s also called Chinese Valentine’s Day.
Vesak Day
Vesak Day celebrates the enlightenment of Buddha. Every temple hosts festivities, with the participation of locals and tourists.
