Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay once again became the heart of fanfare for Cantopop heartthrob Keung To on Tuesday as thousands gathered to celebrate the star’s birthday, while tourists visiting for ‘golden week’ look on with awe and amusement.
Fans of the boy band Mirror member packed Hennessy Road, which was lavishly emblazoned with Keung’s photos and well wishes for his 25th birthday from the afternoon until night.
The occasion coincided with a free ride day on the city’s trams, which was sponsored by Keung To’s fan club.
The highlight of the celebration was the unveiling of five specially designed trams, or “ding ding” as they are affectionately known by locals, which drew crowds of hundreds whenever they made their way through the district.
In Causeway Bay, dubbed “Keung To Bay” by fans due to the numerous billboards featuring the star, supporters decked in fan club attire gathered to take pictures while holding stuffed toys in their idol’s likeness.
