Lunar New Year - Street Murals

Many shops in Hong Kong operate very long hours.  Lunar New Year is one of those rare days on which they are shuttered.  A slow jog through TsimShaTsui, YauMaTei and ShumShuiPo allowed me to take note of some of the more notable murals on their walls, metal curtains, …

Such as an iconic cafe.  I have eaten there many times, and enjoy particularly sitting at the window overlooking the square on the opposite side of the street. 

A Temple Street eatery.  I have not tried the food. I did pass by many times before, and never noticed the murals. Perhaps they were obscured by the tables and customers.  

A shop for military and outdoors stuff.  

A sewing shop.

An antique furniture store. 

A trinket-adorned bike. 

A famous traditional bakery.  They sell some of the best Chinese pastries.  It was full of people the days before Lunar New Year. 

And a lot more.  The streets of Hong Kong are not dull, even on Lunar New Year’s Day.
