On my first Christmas Eve in Hong Kong
By yopy on Dec 27, 2007 in Festivals & Events
Ah…my first christmas in Hk. We decided to spend the Christmas Eve hanging out at Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). We started the journey from east TST. We decided to start from TST to Avenue of the Stars to Star Ferry to Nathan Road and end our journey at Mongkok.
This is around the fountain near the Regal Hotel. A lot of people was there to take pictures of lighting on the building.
As we are crossing the overheard bridge, there are ton of people up there taking picture. The entire bridge was jammed.
Mody Square…the partly open air restaurant.
These 3 foreigners was kind enough to let me take picture of them as they are enjoying the view and the people walking on the street.
We are heading toward the New World Hotel so we can walked along the Avenue of Stars.
At the New World Hotel, a mini expo selling dry foods. They blocked the entrance to the Avenue of Stars. They directed us toward the Hong Kong Cultural Center entrance.
Inside the Hong Kong Cultural center. What the heck? I stop-by to take a picture of myself.
At the Avenue of Stars, we took this picture with their permission. Nice hair-do…
At the Star Ferry, packed with people….
We are following the crowd heading straight toward the end of the road….Nathan road…This scene remind me of the movie ‘War of the World’. Everybody just walking…scary thought…
Finally, we were on Nathan Road…took a picture of police motorcycle.
As we were heading toward Mongkok, there are a lot of small group singing in celebration of Christmas.
Well…I had fun….My first christmas in HK and I am willing to walk such a long journey….it was a success. We did not stay until 12am because we were afraid the crowd might swell up. We saw the news and they estimated there were about 300,000 people at TST on that night. I was one of the stats…..
Will I do next year? Yes…a lot fun..walking in 18celcius temperature with a Starbuck coffee on your hand.
