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.

2008 Rat | 2007 Pig | 2006 Dog | 2005 Chicken | 2004 Monkey
2003 Goat | 2002 Horse | 2001 Snake | 2000 Dragon
1999 Rabbit | 1998 Tiger | 1997 Cow

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.
