Christmas Lights in Central Statute Square, Hong Kong
Central is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. The area was the heart of Victoria City, although that name is rarely used today.
As the central business district of Hong Kong, many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters in the area. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Harbour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841, and continues to flourish and serve as the administrative centre after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.

Bathed in the brand’s signature Tiffany Blue hue, this Central landmark was once again infused with the spirit of Christmas. The centrepiece of this brilliant event is an 18-metre-tall Christmas tree complete with festive touches and an enchanting fairytale-inspired 24-seat carousel. Other festive activities include a Santa’s House, Bridge of True Love, Tiffany Funland and Tiffany Candy Shop.
