Before Chinese New Year a big event is the fair in a park in downtown Hong Kong. The fair started out years ago as a flower and plant market because it is a tradition to have lots of new growth in the home to bring prosperity for the new year. Well, the fair has commercialized and expanded over the years till now it is what I found to be the "State Fair" of HK. The biggest difference is that here they haven't discovered the value of food on a stick. In fact, the only food on a stick we saw was saltine crackers sandwiched on a stick with some sort of spread in between. These are all scenes from the fair.
Lots of "dogs on sticks" since the year of the dog. The dressed up guy is the Wealth King, the Santa of CNY.
