As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) will host the inaugural International Lantern Spectacular at Victoria Park from September 17 to 27.
Under the theme “Reunion,” the event will feature a World Lantern Boulevard, bringing together over 3,000 distinctive festive lanterns from 20 countries and regions. It will also showcase giant master-crafted lanterns from Nanjing and a dedicated Hong Kong Lantern Galleria displaying over 400 traditional handmade lanterns, creating a Mid-Autumn celebration that can only be experienced in Hong Kong.

Among the dazzling lantern decorations, a giant masterpiece lantern, crafted by Nanjing’s master artisans, brings centuries-old Qinhuai lantern-making to Hong Kong for an immersive traditional spectacle, with design inspiration from Hong Kong’s iconic banyan tree.

Another standout is “Moonlit Lotus,” where a seven-metre-tall giant moon lantern is surrounded by glowing lotus lanterns in the pool, symbolising reunion and joy under the same bright moon.

“Dragon Gate” features a pair of carp leaping from the water, their graceful curves converging into a circle, a symbol of fulfilment, good fortune, and continuous blessings.
