With Christmas fast approaching, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has rolled out a series of Hong Kong WinterFest ambience-building activities from last Friday (19 December) to spread love and joy across the city. Apart from arranging “Santa Claus” to welcome visitors at major ports of entry, over 1,500 volunteers from local organisations were invited to present Christmas carol singing on decorated antique tram and open-top bus, and give performances in a themed truck touring various tourist districts.
