As the Year of the Horse begins, the festivities culminate in the dazzling Lantern Festival. This year, the spotlight shines across the harbour at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza. From February 12 to March 15, witness a radiant showcase of Intangible Cultural Heritage. For guests at The Park Lane Hong Kong, Autograph Collection, this offers the perfect excuse for a classic Hong Kong evening: a romantic cross-harbour journey to the lights, followed by a luxurious retreat back to the heart of Causeway Bay.

The Grand Finale: Lighting Up the Cultural Centre

Marking the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations, the Lantern Display transforms the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront into a glowing wonderland. Running from February 12 to March 15, 2026, this year's theme celebrates Hong Kong's "Intangible Cultural Heritage." Expect to see intricate lanterns featuring auspicious horses, bats, and lions, alongside artistic representations of the iconic cheongsam and Chinese candy boxes. It is a visual feast that blends traditional craftsmanship with the stunning backdrop of the Victoria Harbour skyline.

The Romantic Route: A Journey Across the Harbour

Staying at The Park Lane Hong Kong, Autograph Collection puts you in a strategic position to enjoy the best of both worlds.

• The Scenic Route: Take a short MTR ride or taxi to Wan Chai, then board the iconic Star Ferry. The gentle ride across the harbour at sunset sets the perfect mood before you arrive at the Cultural Centre to see the lanterns light up (6:00 pm – 11:00 pm).
• The Efficient Route: The MTR from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui takes less than 15 minutes, whisking you directly to the heart of the action.

Escape the Crowds, Return to Luxury

The Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront will be bustling with energy and crowds. The beauty of staying at The Park Lane Hong Kong, Autograph Collection is the ability to immerse yourself in the festivities and then retreat to your sanctuary.

A Cultural Contrast

While the lanterns shine in Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay offers its own post-New Year charm.
