Victoria Park's New Year Fair

Last year I had my first New Year Fair experience in Kwun Tong. This year we decided to up the ante and visit Causeway Bay's Victoria Park to see Hong Kong's largest New Year Fair...

Entering the fair with a few thousand of our buddies

These fairs are split in to two halves, "wet" and "dry", with the "wet" half selling mostly flowers (both cut and potted) and the "dry" half selling everything else (books, clothing, toys, etc).

This "wet" row is but one of many similar rows that stretched through the park

US$4 for a pot of orchids

It wouldn't be a New Year Fair without Nipplefruit!

One of the beautiful potted plants we brought home with us...

...which we had to promptly protect from Fui Fui (he loves to eat flowers)

Happy New Year once more!
