Village CNY decorations

I think this year, Ham Tin wins the MuiWoandMe award for best decorated village.

Maybe the sun being out when I was there played a big part. The colours were just so vivid.

Wang Tong village.

Pak Ngan Heung village.

Spooooky animals

Don't be fooled by the cutesy Chinese zodiac animals in the park next to the bridge. By day, they look like harmless cartoon characters but, come night time, and they take on a whole different dimension. Whoooooahahah!

Small-town Christmas

PALS car all decked out for Christmas.

A family gathering.

Santarinas from China Bear.

See? Keep your head covered and you won't feel the cold.

Poinsettias delivered by tricycle.

And a special festive sign for Bizzie Lizzie.

Happy National Day!

I think Mui Wo looks its best when it is decorated with colourful festival banners flapping in the breeze.
The flags are especially impressive when you see rows upon rows of them.

Chinese New Year decorations

Okay, I get the giant lanterns, the big red banners, the manic bunnies and all the usual gold decorations to usher in the Year of the Rabbit.

But what's with these plastic trees? They look so strange and detract from the lovely natural landscaping of the (no dogs or humans allowed) park.

Am I missing something of the symbolism here? Are they supposed to be money trees or something?

Maybe they light up at night? I haven't had time to do a night stroll yet but I will soon.

Christmas, village style

Mui Wo doesn't have the neons and flashing lights like Central does. But its residents certainly know how to make the place look festive. Wang Tong village is especially pretty after its village-decorating day.
