Hong Kong's biggest winter festival, Hong Kong WinterFest 2025, returns with even more impressive displays and lighting than ever before. The Central zone, in particular, has been transformed into a Christmas town in the heart of the business district. The event runs from November 14, 2025 to January 4, 2026. Highlights include a giant Christmas tree, a Christmas market, and the first-ever Immersive Light Show, which projects lights onto multiple buildings simultaneously in a single area. … .. . 🌧️ From a glimpse, into the full story 🌧️ . .. … Christmas Town at Statue Square Gardens 🎅 Statue Square Gardens in the heart of Central has been transformed into an open Christmas Town, with a 20-meter-tall Christmas tree as the centerpiece. Surrounding it are installations with toy-themed decorations such as trains and spaceships, as well as large-scale decorations designed to fit the scale of the urban space. In the same zone, there's a Christmas Market with approximately 12 stalls, open from November 28th, selling festive food and small gifts, along with various activities and performances throughout the event. The overall atmosphere isn't as bustling as a typical fair. But it's more of a space for people to walk through, stop and look, and take a break during the day. First-ever Immersive Light Show in Central ✨ One of the highlights of this year's WinterFest is the Immersive Light Show, being held for the first time. Eight prominent buildings in Central are used as surfaces for 3D projection mapping. Christmas-themed animations are projected alternately across the buildings, making Central's nighttime atmosphere distinctly different from usual. The show is held in rounds in the evening. 🕰️ Time: 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM (every 30 minutes) 📍 Ideal viewing spots: South Square and Statue Square Gardens Starlight Boulevard on Chater Road 🌟 Chater Road is decorated with lights along its entire length, becoming Starlight Boulevard, connecting the event area to the surrounding office and shopping districts. Along the way, you'll find Noëlia at LANDMARK, a large interactive wishing lake where people can write their wishes and walk through in a festive atmosphere. It's a zone that transforms the familiar walkway from a weekday routine. The atmosphere has noticeably calmed down. 🪧: Late November 2025 – Early January 2026 🗺️: Central – Statue Square / Chater Road 🚕: MTR Central Station Exit K One more thing: Compared to Christmas events in Bangkok, honestly, we do much better in terms of decoration and atmosphere. However, what's still missing in Bangkok is an immersive light show on this scale. Hong Kong does this quite well. If you're planning a trip during the end of the year, you can stop by and check it out. But it's probably better to set your expectations low for a more enjoyable experience. 🌧️ #HongKongWinterFest #HongKongChristmas #CentralHK #withphichit #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

The kapok trees in Guangzhou are absolutely stunning! 🌸 The bougainvillea in Guangzhou was already dreamy a while ago, but the kapok trees are even more amazing!!

Come check out this stunning city-exclusive scenery~ 🎀

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

One of the must-visit attractions in this lifetime~ Wangxian Valley’s cliffs are unbelievably beautiful. The pavilions hanging on the steep cliffs are adorned with strings of red lanterns, and the lights follow the curve of the cliffs downward. When the waterfall cascades beside the plank road, the lights scatter like twinkling silver stars... This is not reality at all! It’s clearly the Siming Palace from "Cang Lan Jue" brought down to earth~ Here’s a compiled cliff night view route. Follow me to explore all these fairyland spots~ 🌙 Must-see cliff night tour! Photo tips~ 1️⃣ Wangxian Valley Entrance Right upon entering the valley, you’ll be hit hard by the “cliffside guesthouse cluster”! The houses look embedded in the rock face, with red lanterns hanging from the mountaintop down to mid-mountain. Trust me, you must shoot from below—this angle captures the “buildings suspended in midair” xianxia perspective. I took just two shots, and my traveling friends kept asking, “Which drama was filmed here?” 2️⃣ Waterfall Plank Road The waterfall flows right along the cliff. Walking on the plank road, you can feel the cool mist. The lights shining on the waterfall look like floating silver fragments. Standing at the plank road’s corner, frame the “cliff pavilions + waterfall + red lanterns” all in one shot. When I posted this photo on social media, the comments exploded with requests for the location, even my mom saved the photo to post on TikTok. 3️⃣ White Crane Cliff Viewing Platform The only place in the valley where you can overlook the entire cliff panorama! The distant string lights wind along the mountain like a glowing belt around the cliff. I recommend arriving by 7:00 PM to watch the sky change from light blue to dark, and see the lights turn on one by one. It’s like watching a famous scene from a xianxia drama—you won’t want to put your phone down. 4️⃣ Lanyue Bridge The perfect spot to shoot the cliffs! Standing on the bridge and turning around, behind you are the layered cliff pavilions. The curve of the bridge matches the cliff lines perfectly. At dusk, you get a pink-purple sunset background; at night, warm yellow lights act as a filter. Every shot looks like a still from a xianxia drama. My best friend said this was her favorite photo from the trip. 5️⃣ Baiwei Street A perfect place to take a break! Sitting by the roadside eating Dengzhan rice cakes, you can look up and see the lantern shadows flickering on the cliff, like immortals watching the mortal world from above. Be sure to buy a Shangrao chicken leg, nibble on it while strolling through the cliff night view. There’s a strange joy in “feasting in a xianxia world,” it’s so delicious you’ll want to suck the bones clean. 6️⃣ Yangfu Square (Don’t miss the bonfire party!) Starts at 7:50 PM sharp! When jumping around the bonfire, you catch a glimpse of the distant cliff lights out of the corner of your eye, and you feel like you’re praying with everyone in a xianxia world. Remember to take a photo with the “bonfire flames + cliff lights” together—the atmosphere is instantly elevated, and you’ll get tons of likes on social media. 7️⃣ Glass Plank Road Below your feet is a deep valley, beside you is the cliff rock face. Lights shine through the cracks in the rocks. When the wind blows and your hair flows, you feel like you’re flying on a sword at the cliff’s edge, fully immersed as the protagonist of a xianxia drama. For those who are timid but want to try, bring a friend along for a safe and confident walk. 💡 Cliff night tour tips ▪️ Be sure to wear non-slip shoes! The plank road near the waterfall is a bit wet and there are some small slopes to climb. I almost slipped in my white sneakers and only felt safe after switching to sports shoes. ▪️ Don’t wear too dark clothes! Light-colored dresses or ethereal hanfu match the cliff lights perfectly, making you glow in photos—I rented a light blue hanfu at the entrance for 30 yuan/day, and the owner even helped me put on silver hairpins. My friends said the photos looked like I was a little junior sister in a xianxia drama. ▪️ No need to rush! The cliff lights don’t fully come on until 9 PM. Take your time strolling—you might catch the stunning light and shadow effect of “lights reflecting on the waterfall.” For lodging, I recommend choosing a guesthouse by the cliff. The one I stayed at had lantern strings right outside the window. At night, lying in bed watching the cliff night view felt like living in a pavilion from a xianxia world. In the morning, the mountain mist woke me up—absolutely amazing~
