Hong Kong Chinese New Year 2010
February 14, 2010
Year of Tiger

This year, Chinese New Year falls on the Valentine's day. People in town has been busy planning how to spend their time between family members and sweet hearts. Have you bought something for your beloved yet? I have included some products from Amazon which you might want to check them out on the right and left columns on this page.

At the flower market, I notice couple of new species. Lettuce in Cantonese represents 'wealth generation'. It's the first time I see people selling it in the flower market. The other new species looks like okura, but I'm not quite sure.

Hong Kong Chinese New Year - Anna

Kung Hei Fat Choy! 恭喜發財!

Hong Kong Chinese New Year is full of festival atmosphere. Many will ask ‘when is Chinese New Year?’ It is usually between mid January to late February. Chinese New Year 2007 falls on February 18. We have many experiences that Chinese New Year overlaps the Valentine’s day.

In 2007, Chinese New Year animal is the Pig. I am a Monkey. Would you want to know what your Chinese New Year animal is? Here is a quick reference.

These 12 animals repeat once every 12 years. So now can you work out your own Chinese New Year animal?

As I live in Hong Kong, I would want to report what I do on the day of Hong Kong Chinese New Year Eve. A must-do activity is to visit the Chinese New Year Flower Market. After an early lunch, I go visit the Flower Market at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. The Flower Market closes just before New Year dawn. So its peak hour is after dinner. However the place is already full of people in the mid day.

Below is a pictorial story of my Flower Market trip.
