Hong Kong Photo Gallery - Christmas Decorations 2020
Every Christmas, the major shopping malls splash out various types of seasonal decor. The theme differs every year and is a lot more elaborate than just a big Christmas tree. With many luxury shopping malls in Tsim Sha Tsui, I headed over there first to sweep through the 3 major malls within walking distance of each other.K11 Musea These golden trees are part of the Christmas Forest in the mall's main atrium, the Opera Theatre.
Heading up to the Bohemian Garden on the 7th floor, Globoscope is a light show curated by Collectif Coin, an art lab from France. Hong Kong is their debut in Asia. While the grounds are freely accessible during the daytime, free tickets need to be pre-booked to watch the light show after dark.

At the end of the mall on top of its new extension, the Christmas Lighting Garden is illuminated at night in different patterns and colours with the skyline in the background. Over a million lights cover the garden. To limit crowds, access at night needs to be pre-booked for free in 20-minute sesssions.
