What's on in Hong Kong

There are some great annual events that have put have Hong Kong on the map:

Cheung Chau Bun Festival (May)
The world’s only iced-bun festival in honour of the God of the Sea, Pak Tai, takes place on the small island of Cheung Chau. The festival is said to ensure fair weather and a good catch at the start of the fishing season, as well as to ward off evil spirits. A cultural treat for expats living in Hong Kong.

Chinese New Year (February)
The city of Hong Kong really knows how to celebrate the new year and expats who have relocated here can join in the festivities and revelry by hanging decorations on their front doors and enjoying the street parades and parties.

Hong Kong Sevens (March)
One of the biggest sporting events in the country and a must for any expat who hails from a rugby-playing nation, the Hong Kong Sevens take place each year in March and rugby fans should head to the festive South Stand party, where the music and beer keep the energy in the crowd alive.
