Recent visitors would have already seen 2012 blog posts on Christmas decoration in Hong Kong. Every year, shopping malls and complexes put up the most spectacular Christmas lights and decorations to attract shoppers. Local government and government associated bodies also do their part by putting up non-commercial displays. There are really plenty of photo opportunities in Hong Kong before and during Christmas. In 2010, SimpleDreamer brought you some of these in a Christmas Special.
