年宵花市 New Year Fair - Hong Kong

Yesteday after work, my colleague and I went to Victoria Park at Causeway bay. We were being told that the "Fa Si" (年宵花市) started on Tuesday. Both of us never been to the "Fa Si" so we went there together. I heard alot about the "Fa Si" from all the Hong Kong series and finally I got the chance to experience it myself.

Entrance of the New Year Fair

The "Fa Si" divided into 2 portion wet and dry. Wet will be selling all kinds of flowers and dry will be all the funny funny items. Most of the items suitable for chinese new year like chinese new year decoration, "Fung Cheh" (风车), traditional food for chinese new year, funny funny items that the students design and selll in the fair and etc.

The photos below was took at the wet area.

Tou Fa (桃花) - those single will buy this so that they can "Hang tou fa wan" (行桃花运)

Orange mandarin plant (橘子)

"Ngam Toi Tong Thong" (五代同堂) - I went to ask the auntie what's the name and she gave one kind of look =_="

You really can feel very strong chinese new year celebration there. I wanted to buy the "Fung Cheh" but the problem is very difficult to carry back to Malaysia. At the end I bought bracelet, thumbdrive and mircoSD card.
