Chinese New Year - Visit the Flower Market
The Chinese New Year, which lasts for 7 days, begins with the New Year Fair, which starts on the 25th and stays open until the early hours of the first day of the year. Visiting the flower market and buying Chinese New Year flowers can be considered as the "designated action" of Hong Kong people every year. Among the many flowers, orchids and peach blossoms are Hong Kong people's favorites, signifying that the new year will be prosperous. Hong Kong has 15 parks and playgrounds, including Victoria Park and Flower Market Park.
The only Lunar New Year Flower Market on Hong Kong Island is located at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. It is the best place to experience the New Year atmosphere in Hong Kong.

Fourth Year - Worship and Prayer
At the beginning of the year, it's the day of the "reception of the gods". The people pay back the many gods and goddesses who have contributed to the world with various sacrifices. Therefore, they prepare offerings, incense, candles, and paper horses to welcome the gods. Of course, R-people are not always in a position to do this, but people can go to temples in Hong Kong to worship the gods and pray for the New Year.
(10 o'clock on the first day of the Lunar New Year, grab incense at Wong Tai Sin Temple)
It is said that Wong Tai Sin's signature is valid if you ask for it. In the early hours of New Year's Eve and into the first day of the Lunar New Year, a large number of believers went to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to scramble for incense and candles, hoping for smooth sailing and prosperity in the coming year. The scene is very lively. So if you're not too keen on stealing incense, paying homage and praying for good fortune on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is also a good activity to do in the New Year.
Wong Tai Sin is not the only place in Hong Kong to worship and pray to God. Yuen Yuen Institute in Tsuen Wan is a blessing destination for Tai Sui Yin; Che Kung Temple in Sha Tin is a place to turn windmills for good luck. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Che Kung Temple is very popular because of the Che Kung Festival.
You can also write down a wishing saucer under the Wishing Tree in Lam Tsuen, Tai Po, or pay a visit to Man Cheong Tai and Kwan Tai at the Wu Man Temple in Sheung Wan. Experience the traditional New Year culture and get a good start to the new year.
Worship God and pray.
