Agoda Cheers Hong Kong’s WinterFest

PR Log (Press Release) – Dec 01, 2008 – Hong Kong holidays are great anytime of the year, but it’s during ‘WinterFest’ that Hong Kong really lights up. Great food, fantastic shopping, amazing sights and sounds, and a moderate climate make this city an ideal destination for travelers. Agoda.com, an online hotel booking company, has confirmed that ‘WinterFest, which starts on the 28th of November and runs until January 4th, 2009, is the perfect time of year to experience Hong Kong and get into that festive spirit.

A magnificent festival of sights and sounds encapsulates Victoria Harbor in a stunning Christmas light spectacular next to the Avenue of Stars Wishing Parade of Tsim Sha Tsui’s waterfront promenade. Hong Kong gets into the spirit by decorating the entire city in full Christmas regalia, including an antique Christmas Tram, themed trucks with carol singers, a multimedia Christmas tree display at Ocean Park’s ice skating extravaganza, and the huge Christmas Tree of Statue Square.

World renowned as a premiere shopping destination, Hong Kong is ideal for shopaholics.  ‘WinterFest’ promotions in a festive atmosphere create a shopping haven throughout the city. The magnificent malls of Causeway Bay and  countless shops of Mongkok’s Nathan Road light up with decorations and deals galore, helping you to easily fulfill those gift lists in an enjoyable manner.
                                                         
The festivities stretch throughout Hong Kong and into Lantau where visitors can create Christmas memories with family and friends at Hong Kong Disneyland’s Sparkling Christmas. Shatin in the New Territories will be hosting the 43rd Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo while Music Sunday’s at the Peak, Hong Kong’s famous vantage point is a popular spot to relax and take in the views on the weekend.  For nightlife, the famous Christmas Parties of Lan Kwai Fong bring the crowds in droves, all to celebrate the holidays and Hong Kong’s ‘WinterFest’.

Agoda Vice President of Business Development, Mr. Wilfred Fan remarked, “Hong Kong is a great destination throughout the year, but winter is the most tempting for tourists because of its mild climate and the amazing festivities of ‘WinterFest’.
