#ShopWithYou #LunarNewYear
Record Numbers at First Day of the Mongkok's “Shopping at the Lunar New Year Market with you," which will run for 4 days until January 21

There are so many people at the market and the queue is all the way at the back staircase. People need to take the stairs to leave the market because there is no room to wait for the lift.  The place is jammed packed!

There are many handicraft products at the Lunar New Year market.  The most distinctive ones are “fai chun” calligraphy and face masks that glow whenever there is movement.  This Lunar New Year market is just like all typical “dry goods” Lunar New Year markets and does not have much products connected to the movement.

Opening hours of the Lunar New Year Market in #Mongkok:

19 Jan (Sun) -1500 - 0000
20-21 Jan (Mon - Tue): 1800 - 0000

Shop now!: Hongkongers' Lunar New Year Market in Causeway Bay as Alternative to Government-run Version at Victoria Park


Protest-friendly "yellow" economy has spread to annual Lunar New Year Market. As the government removed the "dry good" section in Hong Kong's largest lunar new year market in Victoria Park and banned citizens-initiated markets in various districts, some citizens then rented their own venue to organize a market place that welcomes protest-themed products.

Some of the booths in the Causeway Bay are, for instance, rented by students who sell hand-made goods.

Opening Hours of the Lunar New Year Market in #Causeway Bay:
Address: Percival Street
Time : 1200 - 2200
Date: Now - 24 Jan

Holiday Ruined: Police Pepper-sprayed Civilians in Mall

1930 | YOHO, #YuenLong

Netizens initiated "Dragon Boat Festival - Shop with You" event in Yuen Long. After a short time of conflict, with police frisking and arresting civilians in mall, a group of riot police suddenly charged into the Mall at around 1900. They pepper-sprayed civilians and district councilor Lam Chun.

Some civilians felt unwell afterwards and received medical treatment. One of them pointed out in an interview that "someone in plaincloth" pepper-sprayed him twice, making him unable to open his eyes. The area around his eyes was red and swollen.
