X'mas Season in Hong Kong!



Hi everyone out there,


It has been ages since I last updated this blog. Well, it has been hectic for me recently, rushing to finish up my project for the year. Well, actually I went to Hong Kong and Shenzhen twice on 27th & 28th Nov and last week from 17th to 21th Dec. Both trips are on business matters, although I have some free time to do some window shopping :-)


On the last trip which is the X'mas season in Hong Kong, the festive atmosphere is everywhere from Royal Plaza Hotel, Mongkok which I stayed in to the streets and the shopping malls as well. Not forgetting, the weather is cooling between 19-20 degrees Celcius daily. The X'mas decorations are beautiful and unique.

I went to Grand Century Place next to my hotel, Harbour City at Tsimsatsui, Elements at Kowloon Airport Express Station, APM mall at Kwuntong and the Langham Place at Mongkok. The malls really spend on X'mas decorations as well as engaging foreign performers to entertain the shoppers.








This group of cute angels are performing at Harbour City.















The Blue Boys, they called themselves a living art installation, performing at the Elements. Check out which one of them is real!















There is an exhibition of 9 amazing X'mas trees created by well-known artists on display throughout the Elements as well. Check out some of them here! Aren't they interesting?



















The APM mall at Kwuntong does not disappoint either, look at the colourful florals, trees and swan!




















The Langham Place has its own Winter Wonderland completes with snow, deers and bears!






















However what amazes me is the Xpresscalators which spans over 5 storeys high. The Langham Place has 2 Xpresscalators in place. When I took one ride up, I felt slightly wobbly in my knees, ha ha!
Overall, X'mas in Hong Kong is an eye-opening experiences for me. If you want to enjoy a cool and full of festive mood X'mas, you must visit Hong Kong ;-) Wishing everyone out there a Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year! Cheers!
