Lunar New Year fair at Victoria Park is a huge tradition and attraction for Hongkongers and tourists. It’s held just before the Chinese New Year holidays kick-in.

The fair draws thousands of visitors every year looking to buy auspicious plants for the New Year as well as trending gadgets and toys.

This year, after 27 bids, a stall was sold for a record HK$540,000 – and 80 percent increase from last year’s price. The bidder, thinks the price is high but believes it’ll be worth it. The stall will sell local snacks like fish balls and siu mai. Two other food stalls at the fair were sold at HK$160,000 each.
