The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will present a Lunar New Year thematic lantern display entitled "Glittering Peacocks in Full Bloom" at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre (HKCC) Piazza from today (January 25), featuring colourful peacocks, a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture, to celebrate the advent of the Lunar New Year. Admission is free.
The exhibition will showcase various eye-catching peacock lanterns. A giant peacock lantern over 5 metres tall and 15m long will be the centrepiece, with its long glittering tail forming an archway between the two pools. In addition, more than 10 lanterns of peacocks, elegant vases and colourful peonies will also be on display, wishing the public abundance and success in the New Year.
The "Glittering Peacocks in Full Bloom" lantern display will run until February 24 and the lanterns will be lit up from 6pm to 11pm daily.
Apart from the lantern display, the LCSD will also hold three lantern carnivals featuring a variety of cultural programmes to celebrate the coming Spring Lantern Festival. They will be held at North District Park on February 17 (Sunday), at Tin Shui Wai Park and Ginza Square on February 18 (Monday), and at the HKCC Piazza on February 19 (Tuesday).
