6Hong Kong, China
All those seeking a slightly different Christmas shopping celebration will enjoy Hong Kong’s famous Winterfest. Offering striking views of Victoria Harbor, and the metro region’s gigantic skyscrapers, this Christmas market is as bright and glamorous as it can get. Both eastern and European traditions are merged to create a wonderful shopping experience. Tuck into a warm bowl of congee (rice and chicken broth). If you are celebrating New Year here too, you’ll be treated to a spectacular fireworks countdown extravaganza over the illuminated bay sky.
