Hong Kong Halloween celebrations were practically nonexistent not too long ago, but have recently become quite popular as more and more, young and old, embrace the chilling spirit of the holiday.
It used to be that a handful were joining in the spooky atmosphere in some way or another, whether it was just some decoration or pumpkin here and there or dressing up for the occasion, whereas others did not even know what Halloween was about.
In the last few years though, it is just as common to see the pumpkins and spiderwebs during this period as it is the red lanterns and firecrackers during Chinese New Year... the demons and vampires have quickly caught up in the territory and Halloween is here to stay. And not only that, it has proved so popular and spread like wildfire, that now Hong Kong is considered the Halloween capital of Asia.
The ghostly scenes and decorations start popping up in the shopping centers and theme parks i.e. Disneyland and Ocean Park, where the spirit of the haunted holiday really comes to the fore.
And then of course, there is the parties... Halloween is just as good as any excuse to have a party! And this is where Hong Kong really excedes...
The celebrations get bigger and better each year.
From wildly howling street blowouts, parades and shows to fun and sugary trick-or-treat antics for the kids, there is a wide range of spooky cheer for all to enjoy.
Here are some of the places where you can have a screaming good time this Halloween, please keep in mind that due to Hong Kong's current situation, some events may be cancelled/postponed and formats may differ from previous years to accomodate enhanced health and safety measures:
