Happy in Hong Kong
As one of Hong Kong's must-see Christmas attractions, Harbour City's
outdoor Christmas lighting and decoration bring residents and visitors
and endless surprises and joy every year. This Christmas, Harbour City
partners with Hong Kong Disneyland for the 10th anniversary celebration
of "Happily Ever After", transforming the Ocean Terminal Forecourt into a
"Happily Ever After" Christmas Avenue from today through January 3.
Visitors can enjoy this festive occasion as if they were immersed in
Disney fairy tales and celebrate in the company of Mickey Mouse, Minnie
Mouse, Queen Elsa, Princess Anna and many other Disney pals.
Holidays with a bang
Affluent Chinese tourists are seeking unique and personalised
experiences in the US as they have more confidence and flexibility to
travel on their own, tour operators say. "Shooting, hunting and fishing
from a luxury yacht are among the most popular activities our customers
are pursuing," noted Gary Guo, who is based in Los Angeles and runs Do
Your Brand Tour. His company helps travellers design tours or add short
side trips to their itineraries. The Chinese tourists are especially
interested in shooting firearms because it's not permitted in China. -
