Discovery Bay Holiday Market Located in the resort town of Discovery Bay on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island, getting to this Christmas market requires slightly more effort, but it’s certainly worth it, and the trip becomes part of the fun. While you can take a train and a bus, we’d suggest stepping onboard the Discovery Bay ferry, which leaves regularly from Central Pier No. 3, for a pleasant 25-minute boat ride (there’s free WiFi aboard too). On arrival, you’ll be less than a minute stroll from the action of the market, which brings together more than 90 local vendors offering an impressive selection of handcrafted goods at wallet-friendly prices. Discovery Bay is also scattered with restaurants with beachside views, so make a day of it and have lunch while enjoying the season’s crisp, clear weather. Dates: 24 November and 8 December Opening times: 11am – 6pm Location: Discovery Bay Plaza, Discovery Bay Price: Free entry!

The hotel’s beloved annual The House Christmas Market returns with a thoughtful, stylish selection of festive gifts from local, homegrown brands. Shoppers can browse an array of locally made products, from children’s clothing and jewellery to fragrances and artisanal foods. The weekend affair will also offer sustainability-focused workshops for little ones, and adults can sip mulled wine and indulge in seasonal snacks while they shop. A fantastic bonus for shopping at this holiday market? 10% of profits will go to Mother’s Choice, a local charity serving the many children without families and pregnant teenagers in Hong Kong.
