Most Decorated Christmas Places
While still working during the days, you may be busy finding Christmas gifts and place for celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong. There are several most decorated Christmas places good for taking photo this year :
Celebrating Christmas in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong: Disney “Magical Christmas”
While everyone was still wearing short-sleeved T-shirts, the Christmas spirit had already seeped into Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. Outside Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, several Christmas trees had been erected, their decorations stretching from Ocean Centre to the Star Ferry Pier, a length of over ten meters.
The event’s theme is “Magical Christmas”. Disneyland together with Habour City celebrate the resort’s 20th anniversary, with various lights, balloons, and statues of Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and others—truly beautiful and eye-catching.
Whether tourists or passersby, everyone can’t help take out their phones to take photos of themselves and their friends.
Although there’s still more than a month to go, the Christmas atmosphere has already made Tsim Sha Tsui lively.
How to get there:
Harbour City
Address: 5 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
Website: https://www.harbourcity.com.hk/en
Opening Hours: 10 am – 10 pm (Harbour City and Ocean Centre )
Celebrating Christmas in Central, Hong Kong Island: A 20-meter-tall Christmas Tree
Another good place for celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong is in Central. The large Christmas tree in Central is sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. There are two photo spots: one is the Christmas tree with several toy airplane and train displays, and the other is the Christmas market with small wooden huts, separated by a road. The market will start on November 28.
This year, Central will have a different look: a 20-meter-tall Christmas tree has been erected in the Statue Square Garden, accessible directly from Exit K of the Central MTR station.
This installation, themed “Winter Town in Central,” is part of the “Hong Kong Winter Wonderland” festival. Visitors can take photos at this giant Christmas tree adorned with lights and soak up the festive atmosphere.
The dates are from now until January 4, 2026, and the times are from 8:00 PM to 11:30 PM.
The daytime Christmas tree attracted even more people because it was easier and more popular to take photos. Almost everyone took out their phones for selfies, and children posed for pictures in front of cartoon characters, airplanes, and animated cartoon trains.
Furthermore, this year’s Christmas decorations were designed by the government and implemented by the Tourism Board, so the atmosphere wasn’t overly commercialized. The goal was simply to attract tourists. However, the crowded area made it difficult to find a good spot for a photo.

Statue Square Garden
Address: Des Voeux Road in Central. Accessible directly from Exit K of the Central MTR
