Hong Kong kicked off a campaign to stimulate its nightlife as officials seek to bolster the city’s attractiveness and revive an economy battered by years of pandemic isolation.
The promotion, called “Night Vibes Hong Kong,” will feature three evening bazaars at waterfront locations next to Victoria Harbour, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said at a televised event that included a neon dragon dance and performers on roller blades.
