The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Housing Authority:
To celebrate the approach of Christmas and be in complement of the Government's encouragement of local consumption and night vibe activities, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) has decorated its shopping centres and arranged a series of celebratory night events to enhance the shopping ambience and boost the economy.
"To celebrate Christmas and create a festive atmosphere, we have decorated a number of our shopping centres with festive decorations. At the HA's regional shopping centre, Domain, in Yau Tong, we have organised a series of festive events under the theme "Well・Being Christmas", with wonderful "Being・Well shopping rewards", and customers may shop and at the same time participate in the joyful performances and programmes," a spokesman for the HA said today (December 19).
At Domain, there are plenty of festive decorations under the theme of a gingerbread man family. Embellished with a giant gingerbread-baking oven, gingerbread man molds, gorgeous Christmas trees, a heart-warming Christmas coffee cup and other festive elements, the shopping centre offers shoppers and members of the public "check-in" opportunities. Also worth mentioning are the gingerbread man molds designed with augmented reality (AR) elements placed at the G/F atrium, the open plaza and the roof garden at Domain respectively, allowing shoppers together with their family and friends to interact with the gingerbread man through photo-taking with their mobile phones.
To encourage local consumption and enhance shopping patronage, there will be Christmas and Winter Market with night-time busking performances under the theme "Sing Music Night" at Domain's open plaza every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday from now to January 1, 2024. Other fantastic programmes including chill-style Christmas caroling, Santa Claus parades and a virtual reality (VR) winter skiing game booth, will also be held at Domain for the duration of the period.
In addition, Domain's special shopping rewards programme, the Being・Well bonus points reward, will be launched on December 22 to January 1, 2024, to boost local spending. Customers who have completed their membership registration via the Domain Club mobile application will earn bonus points at designated periods upon spending, and may redeem selected gifts with points. Details are available on the website of Domain and the Domain Club mobile application.
