As the Lunar New Year is approaching, there are folks in all districts in Hong Kong who are organizing spontaneous "Wait for you" festivals. The "Shancheng New Year's Eve" was held for two consecutive days (18th and 19th) on the oblique road of Xiyingpan Street. Although the government refused to approve the license one day before the event (17th), the New Year's Eve had to be changed to "street station". However, a "Longming oblique" with a slope of 1: 4 also has about 30 "New Year Street Stations" displaying spring and handicrafts. Some district councillors said that Zhengjie Street is a public space in Xiyingpan, and it should be put to good use. More activities should be organized to unite the community. "While the public is only in shopping malls during the holidays, go shopping."
