Why did Hong Kong celebrate the Chinese New Year?

Because most of citizen of Hong Kong ARE Chinese! And it IS their traditional celebration! Why you celebrate Christmas??? It wasn’t a tradition in America some 500 years back!!! And say for yourself, you are American!

First of all, Chinese New Year or Spring Festival doesn’t begin until February 12 so it’s premature to say whether it’s celebrated or not.

Second of all, why wouldn’t Hong Kong celebrate it, just as Chinese people, Chinese communities and even non-Chinese people observe it worldwide.

It’s a 3,500+ year old tradition.
