As the Spring Festival approaches, flower markets in Hong Kong are in the spotlight! From January 23 to 29, 15 markets will spring up across the city, offering a delightful selection of auspicious flowers, dried goods, and special food stalls featuring festive treats and snacks.

As always, the Victoria Park Flower Market will be the largest and most popular destination. It’s a must-visit for families looking to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere and find all the lucky plants associated with the holiday. While the markets are open during the day, they tend to come alive in the cooler evenings, making for a lively and enjoyable night out.
