Hongkong Land in partnership with HKTB illuminates "Winter Wonderland in Central", bringing the heart of Hong Kong to life with dazzling decorations and experiences

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 December 2025 - Hongkong Land is delighted to partner with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) to bring "Winter Wonderland in Central" as part of Hong Kong WinterFest 2025.

Hongkong Land's philosophy, Experience is central™, takes on new meaning as we join the city-wide festivities illuminating the heart of Hong Kong. This collaboration builds on a cherished legacy that began six decades ago, when Chater Road hosted the city's first large-scale festive lighting display in 1965, bringing holiday magic to Central and beyond.

Starlight Boulevard on Chater Road

From now until 4 January, 2026, Central is lit up where Prince's Building and seven other iconic buildings become the canvas for the "Immersive Light Show," activating both the Company's properties and the public realm that connects them. Along Chater Road, a golden canopy of Starlight Boulevard, Hong Kong's largest three-dimensional outdoor light canopy, creates a magical pathway with cascading lights and illuminated figures marking different years of celebration. This enchanting boulevard leads to LANDMARK ATRIUM's "Noëlia at LANDMARK," where the Company's largest ever installation features an 11-metre lighthouse and an interactive Wishing Lake. At Statue Square Garden, Christmas Town dazzles with a majestic, 6-storey high Christmas tree. Visitors can embrace the holiday spirit at the Christmas market, which offers not only festive workshops but also seasonal food & beverages and unique artisanal products. The experience is further enriched by Santa's Workshop craft sessions and Rudolph's Tour curated by Hongkong Land, which weaves together Central's enchanting heritage and festive traditions.
