Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong are citywide and possibly the most spectacular and boisterous in the world. From fireworks over Victoria Harbour to a well-wishing festival, horse races, flower markets, and lion and dragon dances, the city buzzes with energy and festivities during the most important Chinese festival of the year. And of course, there is the HKTB’s International Chinese New Year Night Parade, a massive party that fills Tsim Sha Tsui with cheers.
The parade celebrated its 20th staging with the theme “Sweet 20, World Party”, bringing 34 floats and performing troupes from 11 countries and regions to Asia’s world city. To boost the festivities, cake vouchers were distributed on the day of the event and 298,888 red packets with complimentary Star Ferry and tram tickets and discount coupons were given to visitors at the airport. The parade attracted 150,000 spectators to the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui.
