Gain a wonderful insight into the Chinese world of romance during the Spring Lantern Festival.
Popularly referred to as Chinese Valentine's Day, this festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Based on an old Chinese tradition, flower markets, restaurants, homes and parks are filled with colourful lanterns in traditional designs. During the festival, singles gather to play matchmaking games with the lanterns, to determine who will be their lover.
The festival is marked by special evening celebrations in Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island, Ko Shan Road Park in Kowloon and Central Park in Sha Tin, organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
