Easter off to good start for Hong Kong residents and tourists hunting for fun ways to spend their holiday weekend
- One of city’s biggest Easter egg hunts makes comeback after two years of online events
- Tourists come for big events and then stay to take advantage of holiday weekend to explore
More than 1,000 children and their families descended on Discovery Bay on Lantau Island for Easter festivities, while others took the Ngong Ping 360 cable cars on Friday, marking the first long holiday in Hong Kong since the removal of all Covid-19 restrictions earlier this year.
As one of the biggest Easter egg hunts in the city began on Good Friday, inflatable bunnies, bouncy castles and dozens of vendors dotted the main areas of Tai Pak Beach and DB Plaza.
The Discovery Bay Easter Egg Hunt on the Beach returned as an in-person activity for the first time since 2019. About 300 children at a time armed with shovels and rakes happily dug and scraped in the sand for treats.
Chloe Chan, 10, was all smiles when she uncovered one of the 12 special prize eggs up for grabs.
“It was really exciting,” the Primary Four pupil said, proudly clutching the envelope containing her prize. “I never thought I would get it.”
