HK Public Holidays

Hong Kong’s biggest festival is the Lunar New Year, followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival and then the Christmas Holidays. Halloween is not a holiday but is considered big as well and still celebrated by Hong Kong families. Most businesses take advantage of the holidays to boost their sales, therefore you can expect big bulk of discounts in restaurants and shopping malls during these events.
