Hong Kong is getting ready for the festive season with the return of its annual Chinese New Year markets.
Running from February 11 to 17, these markets will open one week before Lunar New Year celebrations begin. With free admission and hundreds of stalls across the city, the events give residents and visitors a chance to shop, explore seasonal products, and enjoy the traditional holiday atmosphere.
Victoria Park Remains the Largest Chinese New Year Market
Victoria Park in Causeway Bay will once again host Hong Kong’s largest Chinese New Year Market. The venue will feature more than 300 stalls, making it the main attraction for shoppers during the festive period.
Visitors can expect a wide selection of Chinese New Year decorations, flowers, fruits, festive snacks, lucky ornaments, and gift items. Thanks to its central location and large open space, Victoria Park has long been the most popular site for the annual market.
The lively setting, bright decorations, and busy walkways create a classic Lunar New Year shopping experience. With free entry and extended opening hours, the market is expected to attract large crowds throughout the seven-day event.
