Discovery Bay Christmas Market
When and where: Discovery Bay Plaza, December 11
Many of us would love to be a talented creative, especially around the holidays, making beautiful presents by hand and baking yummy Christmas treats for our family and friends. However, time is often not on our side during the festive season. Fortunately for those battling the clock, the annual Discovery Bay Christmas Market by Handmade Hong Kong offers a wide selection of handcrafted homeware, jewellery, clothing and more, with each item lovingly created or designed by one of the city’s small independent businesses.
