The Hong Kong we know today is defined by its bustling skyline and heaps of skyscrapers, but taking us to a sharp turn down memory lane is Central Market’s “Ode to Good Old Hong Kong: A Prosperous Lunar New Year Fair”. Find endearing fragments of your childhood from the venue’s 5-metre tall traditional flower board with bamboo scaffolding and LED light bulbs, whose cultural significance is recognized by the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong.

Under the illumination of 450 old-school lanterns, the fair’s green metal street stalls replicate the glory of 1920s Hong Kong night markets while making for the perfect backdrop for your Instagram Stories. Before you go, make sure to stop by the stalls of time-honored local brands, such as Sun Kee Cafe, Kwan Kee Bamboo Noodle, ZeroToOne and more.

When? January 7 – 31, 2023

Where? OASIS, G/F, Central Market, 93 Queen’s Road Central, Central
