Explore Hong Kong with me #11: Mid-Autumun Lantern Carnival at Victoria Park 🏮 銅鑼灣維多利亞公園中秋花燈展

in #travel7 years ago

Hi Steemit Friends,

IMG_6433.JPG

Mid-Autumn Festival is considered the second most important festival of the year in China after Chinese New Year. In my last post, I introduced a unique centuries-old tradition, Fire Dragon Dance to you. After the event, my friend and I walked to the Victory Park, which was lit with different colorful lantern displays in Causeway Bay.

The Mid-Autumun Thematic Lantern Display at Victoria Park is the largest scale lantern exhibition in Hong Kong and it is open to public for free. The event will showcase several festive lanterns, including an exhibition on creative and traditional lanterns crafted by local students and local masters and an exhibition on traditional craftsmanship of lantern making etc.

Steemit朋友大家好☀️上一篇跟大家分享中秋看舞火龍。活動結束後,我跟朋友走到維多利亞公園,這𥚃的花燈展會是全港最大型的,中秋當天必定會擠滿人潮,今年的花燈以星河作概念,有不少打卡的好位置,我們一齊去看看吧。

The Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong—Exhibition on traditional Craftsmanship of Lantern Making /傳統花燈紮作技藝

These lantern displays are created in the shape of the traditional women's wear —cheongsam by a master craftsman, Mr Au Yeung Ping Chi. He has created a series trendy imitation with paper, such as mobile phones, skateboards, electric guitars etc that look very realistic.

As you can see from the pictures below, different colors and patterns are used for the designs for Cheongsam. The style, colors and design trends have undergone many changes over time. They also stand testimony to the fashion history in Hong Kong.

首先看到的是以傳統中國服飾—長衫為主題的展品,由具有傳統紮作技術製作花燈的師傅負責制作,長衫有不同的幾何圖案和顏色款式,圖案靈感來自1960年的長衫,當時的長衫受到西方的文化影響,用色大膽而圖案也由花改變成幾何圖案。

Students Lanterns Display/學生綵燈作品展—星際銀河

Next to the cheongsam lanterns display, there is a student lanterns display. I was amazed by the creativeness of the students who made these lanterns. They look amazing~

在中式長衫花燈旁邊,是一個「學生綵燈作品展」,想不到現在的小朋友那麼利害,他們造的燈籠都好棒,很有創意!

There are many great spots for photo-taking at the carnival. Personally, I love this display "Under the Same Starry Sky"the most.

場內有不同的打卡位置,而我個人最喜歡的是這個「漫遊星月夜」的裝置作品,有讓人置身於漫天星河的感覺。
