Hong Kong Public Holidays and Festivals for 2021
The Chinese New Year 2021 Hong Kong will be the start of The Chinese Year of the Ox or Bull. So 2021 might be good time for stockmarkets that could be “bullish”, or it night be a good year to eat more beef. Or if it is a good year for Ox then maybe people will eat less beef and there could be an upsurge of veganism! All options are opening for this exciting year which is the second in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese the symbol 丑 implies something earthy, so happy year of the 牛年 !
Note that this is not the buffalo or the cow, though those animals are used in other countries they are not done so in Hong Kong for this year.
