Easter in Hong Kong, as part of the British legacy, is a public holiday with a long weekend of days off from Good Friday to Easter Monday. So how does Hong Kong celebrate Easter?
For the great majority it will be about relaxing over the long weekend more than anything else.
For the approximate 800,000 Christian community, there will be services, which are available in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Tagalog.
In recent years we have seen more and more of the typical activities associated with the Easter season: Egg Hunts, Easter Bunnies, picnics, brunches, afternoon teas, and now even Hong Kong Disneyland gets in on the action with their Disney Springtime Egg-stravaganza and events!
So if you're looking for a quiet weekend and an uplifting service, or a lively egg-hunt for the kids to enjoy, here are some Easter events happening in Hong Kong:
- Easter Sunday Mass and Services
- Disney Springtime Carnival and Egg-stravaganza - March through May
- Discovery Bay Easter Egg Hunt On The Beach
- EGG-citing EGG-venture at Ocean Park's Waterworld
- Good Friday Easter Walk and Egg Hunt at the Peak
