YUEN LONG TO PUT ON NEW YEAR GLITTER
*****
YUEN LONG IS TO CELEBRATE THE LUNAR NEW YEAR WITH A DISPLAY OF GLITTERING LIGHTS AND COLOURFUL DECORATIONS.
THE DECORATIONS INCLUDE PICTURES OF FLYING FAIRIES COPIED FROM DUNHUANG MURALS, A DISPLAY OF EIGHT OCTAGONAL STRUCTURES, AND AN ARRAY OF 5 000 LIGHT BULBS ALONG MAJOR ROADS.
THE DISTRICT BOARD AND LOCAL ORGANISATIONS HAVE CONTRIBUTED $80 000 FOR THE DECORATIONS.
A DISTRICT BOARD SPOKESMAN SAID PROSPERITY AND BLESSINGS TO THE RESIDENTS WERE THE THEMES OF THE DECORATIONS,
THE FAIRIES, HOLDING TWO CHINESE CHARACTERS 'KAT CHEUNG' WHICH MEAN AUSPICIOUSNESS AND BLESSING, ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE FOOTBRIDGES NEAR SHUI BIN WAI ESTATE AND WONG UK TSUEN AS WELL AS OUTSIDE THE YUEN LONG TOWN HALL.
THE EIGHT OCTAGONAL STRUCTURES, ON DISPLAY AT THE ROUNDABOUT, IMPLY PROSPERITY AND WEALTH.
A SWITCH-ON CEREMONY OF THE LIGHTING DISPLAYS WAS PERFORMED BY THE DISTRICT OFFICER, MR JAMES WILSON, ON MONDAY NIGHT.
UNTIL THE THIRD DAY OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR (FEBRUARY 4), THE LIGHTS WILL BE ON FROM 8 PM TO 11 PM AND FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE AND NEW YEAR'S DAY.
