What's open on Lunar New Year in Hong Kong?
Lunar New Year is Hong Kong’s biggest holiday. Banks and government offices close for three days; many local shops shut but malls, supermarkets and tourist areas stay busy with festive sales. In Hong Kong, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
