China New Year-Visit the Flower Market

The Spring Festival lasts for 7 days, starting from the New Year Fair, starting on the 25th of each year, and continuing until the early morning of the first day of the year. Visiting the flower market and buying New Year's flowers are the "designated actions" of Hong Kong people for the Spring Festival every year. Among the many flowers, orchids and peach blossoms are the favorite of Hong Kong people, which symbolizes the prosperity of people in the new year. There are 15 parks and playgrounds in Hong Kong, including Victoria Park and Flower Market Park.

The only Lunar New Year flower market on Hong Kong Island is located in Victoria Park, Causeway Bay, which is also the most popular flower market in Hong Kong. This is the best place to feel the atmosphere of Hong Kong New Year.

Year 4-Worship of God and Prayer

The beginning of the year is "receiving God" day. People use various sacrifices to repay many gods who have contributed to the world. Therefore, they prepared sacrifices, incense sticks and paper to welcome the gods. Of course, R people may not have the conditions to do this, but you can go to temples in Hong Kong to worship God and pray for the New Year.

(New Year's Day 10, Wong Tai Sin Temple grabs incense)

It is said that Wong Tai Sin is responsive and his signature is valid. In the early hours of New Year's Eve, a large number of believers went to Wong Tai Sin Temple to compete for incense sticks, hoping that the coming year would be smooth sailing and rich in financial resources. The scene is very lively. Therefore, if you are not too keen on stealing incense, it is also a good activity to pray for the New Year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Wong Tai Sin is not the only place in Hong Kong that worships and prays for God. Yuanxuan College in Tsuen Wan is a blessing resort in Tai Sui Yin. Chegong Temple in Sha Tin is a place to turn windmills and pray for good luck. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chegong Temple was very popular because of Chegong's birthday.

You can also write a wishing dish under the wishing tree in Lin Village, Tai Po, or go to the temple in Sheung Wan to worship Emperor Wenchang and Guandi. Feel the traditional New Year culture and make a good start for the new year.

Worship God and pray.
