New Years in Hong Kong or Mainland

[subarashii_kudamono]

I'm going to be in beijing and shanghai come late dec. and at some point, stopping by hong kong for some shopping before heading back in mid jan. it's not the first or second time for me so it should be a pretty easy trip overall.

that said, i've never been there in the winter, not to mention on new years eve.

so, what city should i spend dec. 31st in and where are the best (or least overrated) parties?

please share stories too.

[Guest winq]

Funny thing is I'll be away from Hong Kong right around New Years... will be jetting to a small little place...

It's okay I fucking hate partying at New Years anyway.

Holler if anyone's going to be around the HK area.... or maybe even SG area....

Hong Kong hands down, spent the New Year's in Shanghai 2 years back. Agreed with Winq weather is pretty shitty there around December/Jan time, winds are cold as fuck.

shanghai will probably have something ok to go to, probably more expensive parties than in beijing. never really liked partying in hong kong for some reason, even though i have a soft spot for the city... i can't even remember where i was two years ago for NYE - last year i was in bangkok but all these bombs were going off... so i stayed in.

i'll be in hk. i dunno what parties will be goin on. its somethin ill have to check when i get there. lan kwai fung is usually a mess that nite with cops directing the flow of traffic in one direction. the reason is because 11-12 people got trampled to death there in the mid 90's on new years.

come to hk if you want to have a warm new year

looking to go to HK and shanghai right before CNY like end of January. since CNY is in the middle of Feb will there still be festivities going on during that time?

i heard that a lot of people leave during CNY and go on vacation so its not as fun to go during the actual CNY.

thoughts?
