Next year’s Lunar New Year Fair will be held in early February. Victoria Park’s Lunar New Year’s Fair wet goods stalls will be auctioned for two consecutive days starting today (17th). The government announced earlier that due to the epidemic, there will be no dry goods and fast food stalls for this Lunar New Year’s Fair. .

The bidding response was cold on the first day. Nearly 100 people entered the market in the morning, but most of the stalls were sold at the reserve price. The highest bidding price was 10,000 yuan, which was successfully bid by "Peach King" Liu Haitao.

He expects that because of the epidemic, Hong Kong people will not be able to travel abroad this year, and they will spend the New Year Fair, which may benefit the market.

According to the FEHD, if the epidemic worsens rapidly, the Lunar New Year Festival will be cancelled in extreme cases.

In an interview with the media, senior director of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Ling Meibao, said that about 100 people entered the venue this morning. As of 11 am, there were still 16 stalls without bidding. This is believed to reflect the bidders' assessment of the future market conditions and they tend to be conservative.

She also mentioned that if the epidemic worsens rapidly, in extreme cases, it cannot be ruled out that the size of the Lunar New Year Fair will be adjusted, suspended, or even cancelled.
