(NAPSI)-Like to attend the greatest New Year's celebration of them all? In 2006, Lunar Chinese New Year falls on Sun., Jan. 29, kicking off the "Year of the Dog."
According to Pleasant Holidays, the first travel company to create a program based on this festival, Hong Kong's annual Chinese New Year celebration dwarfs all others around the world. There will be a dazzling Chinese New Year Parade on Hong Kong Island featuring international celebrities and performers, with floats and marching bands from all over the world.
On Mon, Jan. 30, a truly awesome fireworks spectacular over Victoria Harbour takes place, and the best views are hotel rooftops from the Kowloon side of the Harbour, or up close on a waterfront cruise.
Another "must-see" is the multimedia laser light show, accompanied by music, narration and pyrotechnics, that lights up Hong Kong"s skyscrapers at night in exotic colors.
These are the centerpiece events of a week-long New Years' themed holiday that includes tours, flower shows, shopping, museum visits, sampling ethnic cuisine-and all of it easy to get to on Hong Kong's ferries, Metro and buses.
