FOUR fallacies of the Chinese New Year celebration in Hong Kong 四個有關香港慶祝農曆新年的謬誤
Lots of travelers misunderstand the Hong Kong's Chinese New Year celebration.
...Lots of travelers misunderstand the Hong Kong's Chinese New Year celebration.
(1)During Chinese New Year, most shops and restaurants don't open......
NO! Most shops and and restaurants in the malls still open and welcome you. Hong Kong is still the shopping paradise and dinning capital during the Chinese New Year. Just some small shops may close for a few days for family reunion.
(2)There are lots of New Year Carnivals during the Chinese New Year holidays......
NO! All Chinese New Year Carnivals close at the early morning of the New Year Day. Many locals do go to the carnivals before sunrise to buy the largely discounted flowers. Different from Beijing, Hong Kong has no temple fair during the New Year.
(3)Hong Kong's Chinese New Year holiday is long......
NO! Hong Kong is the World financial center. Hong Kong citizens can only enjoy 3-day holiday. Everything returns to normal after the public holidays. In some Mainland China's cities, the daily life just gets back to normal after the fifteenth day of the New Year.
(4)Temples are the best sightseeing points during the Chinese New Year......
NO! Lots of locals go to make the wishes. You need to wait for a long time to go inside and are difficult to move in the crowded temples. You need to skip the packed TEMPLES. Please save your valuable time for other highlights!
許多旅客對香港的農曆新年有所誤會。
(1)農曆年時，大部分店鋪和食肆都會關門
錯！香港各大商場內的店鋪和食店在新春期間仍然照常營業。香港永遠是購物和美食天堂。只有一些街坊小店關門數天。
(2)農曆年時，香港有許多廟會
錯！只在新年之前，香港才有年宵市場。各大年宵市場在年初一清晨結束，許多市民會把握最後機會買打折的年花。和北京不同，新春期間，香港沒有廟會。
(3)香港的農曆新年假期很長
錯！因為香港是國際金融中心，市民只有三天的新年假期，之後就一切回復正常。在中國大陸一些地方，要到正月十五元宵節過後，才陸續恢復正常。
(4)農曆年時，到廟宇遊覽最好
錯！如你不用拜神祈福，緊記要避免去各大人山人海的廟宇，排隊入廟的時間比遊覽的時間更長就不好了。
