Hong Kong Halloween

Halloween Crossover Chinese Ghost...



You can only find this in Hong Kong Halloween... don't miss it

Unlike traditional Halloween in western countries, Hong Kong Halloween have its own characteristics. We have our own style in celebrating Halloween.
Most of the teenagers will go to celebrate at night clubs and pubs. Especially for "Lan Kwai Fong" - a famous street in Hong Kong.

If you don't want to go to pubs or you don't want to get drunk there is many opportunities. Here I have two suggestions
1. Ocean Park (link)
2. Disneyland (link)
Both of the parks will host there own Halloween special theme with Hong Kong custom. You can enjoy your own Hong Kong Halloween there. Don't hesitate, go and plan your Hong Kong Halloween night now !!!
