chinese new year's eve

in hong kong, the tradition on chinese new year's eve is to go to the flower market (行花市) after the family gathers for dinner. it's been 15 years since i last spent cny in hk... how can i not go to one this year!

"the fun stalls" at 旺角花墟花市 - they sell cute and modern things, like toys and dried goods. i got a big mandarin orange stuffed toy, wishing everyone 大吉大利!


"the traditional stalls" - selling plants and fruits.
don't really know what this is called but it's a funny looking kind of fruit


pots and pots of mandarin oranges
