Holiday shopping season officially started a few weeks ago. The Christmas lights are up on Hong Kong‘s buildings. Shopping centers are playing holiday music and have their displays in place. A popular activity around town is taking photos in front of the lights and holiday installations. You can actually spot people who bring their own tripod!

Shopping centers do their part to play up the holiday season for all it’s worth. Lavish displays increase foot traffic which means more sales. I’ve been checking out the different lights around town. Here are some snapshots of holiday decorations from the last few weeks.
