Chinese New Year
New Year's Eve Flower Market
Victoria Park

Above: Chinese New Year flower market crowds in Victoria Park

The traditional Chinese New Year's eve flower market has become both a flower market and a market for all sorts of stuff. But one thing has not changed - it is still packed with people especially on Chinese New Year's eve. In fact at certain hours it is so crowded that you are pressed against other bodies just like during rush hours in an MTR train. Not a good place for those suffering from claustrophobia. (Right: a flower market stall in Victoria Park selling cell phone covers)

The market is closed by sunrise (or earlier) on Chinese New Year's day. To experience the wall-to-wall crowds, go after 8 p.m. on Chinese New Year's Eve. To avoid the crowds, go during the day.
