Flower markets are an important feature of the annual Lunar New Year celebrations in Hong Kong. Fresh, colourful flowers and fruits are very auspicious at this time of year, signalling new life, growth, and health. You'll see homes, businesses, hotels and markets beautifully decorated with flowers, potted plants and citrus fruits at this time. While there are more than a dozen flower markets being held during the Chinese New Year holidays, there are two big ones that everyone tries to attend. Victoria Park Victoria Park is the epicentre of the flower markets on Hong Kong Island, and the biggest in all of Hong Kong.
