Chinese New Year

When it comes to Chinese New Year celebrations, nobody does it better than Hong Kong. The streets are jammed with dragon dancers, street performers and illuminated floats. Doors are hung with colorful messages of good fortune and lights are draped over all the city’s skyscrapers. The highlight of the festivities is the glittering night parade that is complemented by special lighting effects and concluded by traditional fireworks over the harbor, which is said to scare away demons and ensure good luck.
