Where can Hongkongers and tourists find Christmas spirit in a subdued holiday season?
The Post rounds up celebrations as many large-scale events have been postponed or scaled down after last month’s deadly fire
Hong Kong is marking this Christmas and New Year in a subdued mood following last month’s Tai Po fire, which has claimed 161 lives so far.
Many large-scale events have been postponed or scaled down, prompting residents and tourists to find quieter ways to celebrate amid a sombre atmosphere.
The Post lists the major citywide celebrations that are still happening.
Christmas Town
A dazzling Christmas Town at Statue Square Gardens in Central is running from November 14 to January 4, featuring a majestic 20-metre (66-foot) tree, twinkling lights and toy-themed decorations.
A highlight is the first-ever light show projected onto the facade of eight landmark buildings. It features three-dimensional festive animations set to music and takes place every 30 minutes between 7.30pm and 10.30pm.
