Last year, a brave promoter set up an outdoor Christmas exhibit and even had an on-site Santa. This had not been done in Hong Kong before, as far as I know. To many people’s surprise, it did very well. When Pam and I checked it out last year, it was packed. This year it has expanded from Statue Square to also include Chater Garden with additional features and booths selling gifts and food. It seems to be even more popular.
It’s a great place to hang out and get into the Christmas Spirit. If you have children and are here, you have most likely already been there or plan to go. If you don’t have children, just kid-watching is reward enough for venturing out. I recommend a visit if you are here. There’s little enough positive energy on the streets what with the WTO and all. Santa’s Village provides a nice balance.
