Chinese New Year Fair, Victoria Park, 2015

Chinese lunar new year fairs are held all over Hong Kong in the days leading up to Chinese New Year's day. They typically sell auspicious flowers such as kumquat trees, orchids and lucky bamboo. The fairs also sell numerous "dry goods" - which means cushions and plush toys. Many of these stalls are rented by local student organisations for fund-raising. This year the biggest lunar new year fair at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay was dominated by sheep (obviously), anti-government rhetoric and Occupy Central references. The BBC even reported that a consignment of toilet paper featuring Hong Kong's Chief Executive had been seized and destroyed by Chinese customs officials.
