Hong Kong Well-wishing Festival
Praying for good luck for the upcoming year has been a local tradition for a long period of time. Besides, making the wish at the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree is exceptionally well preserved out of those wishing spots in Hong Kong. At that time, there will be a dedicated carnival related to Chinese New Year and local cuisines.
