Every year in Hong Kong, partygoers get into the Halloween spirit with festive costumes and make-up. This year is no exception.
Pumpkin-shaped ice-cream trucks are doing the rounds of several districts, and even the city’s trams and MTR stations are decorated for the season.
The West Kowloon Cultural District, rebranded WestK, has a full programme of pet-friendly Halloween events from October 26 to October 31, while in Tsim Sha Tsui, the Hong Kong Space Museum 3D Celestial Projections runs nightly from 8.15pm-10.30pm until October 31.
The city also has a smorgasbord of food-related Halloween events. Here is a slice of what is on offer.
