On February 1, with six days till the lunar Spring Festival, two large-scale Olympic-themed lantern shows were launched by the Hong Kong Recreation and Culture Department.
Local residents as well as tourists can enjoy the shows free of charge.
A red arch has been set up at the square of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, where a show, entitled "Olympic-themed lanterns shine over the Great Wall" attracts visitors. Fuwa, the Olympic mascots, display their dynamic actions on ancient beacon towers of the Great Wall in the show, which will wrap up on March 9.
The other show, which highlights the mascots, was held along the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade until February 24.
To facilitate residents visiting the lantern shows, free bus services will be offered between Hong Kong Kowloon Park and West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade on the weekend until February 24.
