The Leisure and Cultural Services Department is presenting the Chinese New Year Lantern Display 2026 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza from February 12 to March 15, featuring dazzling lanterns that incorporate various elements of Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and blend festive joy with exquisite traditional paper craftsmanship. The display offers visitors a vivid experience of the unique charm of ICH and joyfully welcomes the Year of the Horse.
The lantern display titled "Spirited Horse and ICH Bring You the New Year Blessings", presented by the ICH Office, was created by veteran paper-crafting master Mo Cheuk-kei. The lantern features motifs including horses, bats and lions. Another lantern display, "Leaping into Spring, Galloping to Success", is created by veteran paper-crafting master Hui Ka-hung. It incorporates Hong Kong-style cheongsams, Chinese candy boxes, gold coins and auspicious symbols, offering a fusion of tradition and creativity to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
