Christmas may not be the traditional celebration in this part of the world, but Hong Kong puts on an amazing show. With so many expats moving to Hong Kong and a growing international culture, it’s no surprise.

Victoria Harbour is stunning to begin with, but over Christmas it’s brought to life. Extravagant glittering displays festoon the streets and waterfront. It’s the ideal time to take a night cruise and enjoy the city from the water. Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean park embrace the spirit, decorating with fake snow and lights. There are also Christmas markets a-plenty to be explored.

In Hong Kong, December 25 is Boxing Day. Rather than spending this day at home with families, people go out and enjoy seasonal attractions and festivities. If you’re thinking about moving to Asia, now’s the time to see this island state at its most festive. You’ll be looking for a moving company in Hong Kong soon after, we are sure.

If you want to get away from the Western tradition of Christmas, it’s quite possible to do in Hong Kong. Wander around some of the less-central streets and you’ll quickly forget Christmas exists. This time of year is also warm but not yet too muggy. You can discover some of the local culture and cuisine at your leisure. You may also get to see some of the preparations for Chinese New Year, which begins in mid-January.
