Bring in the Year of the Ox with Chinese New Year Celebrations at The Peninsula Hong Kong

Say so long to the year of the Rat. On January 26, the Chinese New Year will start with a bang; Chinese communities worldwide have festive fireworks and parades to mark the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar for the year 4707. Hong Kong heads into the Year of the Ox with a city-wide party and not-to-be missed fireworks. (Note: Folks born in the Year of the Ox are honest, dependable, calm and modest. The Chinese Calendar indicates that the Ox is the sign of prosperity through hard work, patience, and fortitude.) Check into the Peninsula to enjoy a slew of treats to welcome in the New Year. Indulge in a special set dinner with live music from a traditional Chinese Orchestra, then head up to the 7th floor Sun Terrace for an unrivaled view of the fireworks display with a complimentary glass of Champagne. If you book the "Chinese New Year Fireworks" package, you'll get daily breakfast, late check-out, and complimentary Internet and local calls along with your indulgent accommodations in a suite.
