HKTB’s Lucky Rabbit celebrates Chinese New Year

The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) embarks on a tour of blissful fortune during the Chinese New Year with the public along the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, launching the “Fortune Around Hong Kong” Chinese New Year Celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rabbit in joy and vitality.

Dane Cheng, HKTB Executive Director, said, “As Hong Kong has lifted all COVID-19 inbound control measures to global visitors and is gradually resuming cross-boundary travel with the Mainland, Hong Kong’s doors of tourism are now open. HKTB’s Chinese New Year Celebrations this year will be the first mega event after cross-boundary travel resumes. Centering the world-renowned Victoria Harbour, we have specially curated a number of interactive Chinese New Year attractions to invite both locals and visitors to explore the Harbour from different perspectives and experience the Chinese New Year festivity, while harnessing good fortunes for the Year of Rabbit.”

Giant installations of the Lucky Rabbit and Victoria Harbour-themed artworks will be available for checkpoint-hopping along the coastal areas of Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, and Tsim Sha Tsui for an 18-day period from 19 January (28th day of the last month of the lunar calendar) to 5 February (15th day of the Chinese New Year). Among the checkpoints, the Central Ferry Piers will take on a rooftop decoration for the first time with the Lucky Rabbit greeting the public from above. Tamar Park at Admiralty will also become a fantastic sea of flowers, adorning the harbourfront with dazzling and colorful lights. Each with its own feature, the checkpoints promise a wonderful tour for you to admire the Hong Kong harbourview from various perspectives and shower you with myriads of blessings!

During the Chinese New Year period, sightseeing experiences and rides across Victoria Harbour will offer time-limited special discounts. Riders of the Star Ferry may even bump into the Lucky Rabbit and sail across the Harbour together. As the city comes to life in all celebrations during the New Year, let’s embark on a tour of blessings and vitality!
