We took a ferry to Hong Kong Island and explored SoHo- the more Western/European part of HK. It is packed with western pubs, restaurants and cocktail bars and boasts the world's longest covered outdoor escalator (below).
People camping on the streets, waiting for New Years Celebrations to begin.
Ready and waiting, 3 hours before the parade began. If we had arrived much later, we wouldn't have got a place to stand!
Traditional dragon dancing.
Arden was wide awake long past his bedtime! He was entranced by the parade and managed to ensure that we got all the free handouts, including bunny ears, balloons, candy floss, lucky packets and all sorts of other junk! Seems like we are already experiencing (chinese accent) "much prosperity and happiness in year of rabbit" or it that just because our little bunny is so dam cute?
Street Parade- was incredible. Lots of music, dancing and bright costumes. Well worth the 3 hour wait!
Floats.
