Best Christmas places in Hong Kong 2023
December every year is one of the busiest months in Hong Kong, and it is also one of the most unmissable festivals in Hong Kong – Christmas. Although Hong Kong does not snow in winter like the Nordic regions, as long as you go to different large shopping malls and waterfront promenades in Hong Kong, you will definitely find a very strong Christmas atmosphere.
This year’s Christmas is just like previous Christmases. Different Christmas celebrations and Christmas markets will be held starting from December 20th until the countdown to New Year’s Eve on December 31st. At the same time, some 5-star hotels have launched limited-time Christmas dinner discounts, giving you the opportunity to enjoy their food at half price.
Since there are so many Christmas celebrations being held simultaneously this year, Central Lion Rock has selected 14 Christmas markets, large-scale Christmas installations, and Christmas dinner deals that are most worth visiting during the Christmas period. This way you can spend the most fulfilling Christmas with the people that matter most.
