• Lion dances are a key feature of Chinese New Year celebrations.
• Halloween is popular, featuring public decorations and special events.
• Christmas blends Western customs with local styles, leading to large crowds and the need for advance dining reservations at upscale venues.
• General dining in Hong Kong does not enforce a strict dress code.
• Many shopping areas and restaurants remain operational during major holidays.
• High-end restaurants typically require advance booking for special holiday dining experiences.
• Use chopsticks for Chinese food, though Western cutlery is available at Western restaurants. Avoid sticking chopsticks vertically in rice or using them to transfer dishes.
