Hong Kong Victoria Park

In about an hour's time, it's going to be Chinese New Year - Year of the Ox. One of the traditions in Hong Kong is going to buy flowers at the year-end flower market. These temporary flower markets usually start doing business about a week ahead of the New Year. The largest flower market is at the Victoria Park, right next to the shopping area of downtwon Causeway Bay.

If you happen to travel Hong Kong during Chinese New Year, make sure to visit the Victoria Park, enjoy and share the fun at the flower market.

Here are the photos I took yesterday at Victoria Park flower market.
