There are many amazing activties to celebrate this festival. In the week before Chinese New Year, we can visit flower markets. There are two big flower markets namely Victoria Park in Causewa Bay and Fa Hui Park in Mongkok. The one in Victoria Park is the biggest. We can buy flowers fruit trees and items to decorate the house. The flower markets are very crowded, but I enjoy going there with my family

People can also watch fireworks display. Fire crackers are believed to scare away the evil spirits, helping bring in all the good luck for the coming year. The firework display starts at 8:00pm on the second day of Chinese New Year. It lasts a about 20 minutes. Around 340,000 peoples watch the firework display. We can watch it along Victoria harbour and the Avenue of the Stars near Star Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is such an incredible experience in your lifetime. Fireworks display is beautiful, I like it very much.
