Hong Kong Flower Show 2026: How to Live It to the Fullest

Victoria Park has transformed into a blooming garden for the annual Hong Kong Flower Show. This year, it runs from March 20 to March 29 and is dedicated to the flower of the year, the stock (Matthiola incana). The theme of the exhibition is “A Fragrant Journey Through Hong Kong.” Organized by the Department of Leisure and Cultural Services, it features hundreds of exhibitors from Hong Kong, mainland China, and other countries. Visitors can enter the park for HK$14 only, with a half-price concessionary rate for children, full-time students, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.

As the final days of the show are just around the corner, now it is the perfect time to catch up with the floral side of the city and enjoy colorful installations, free workshops, and other perks of the show.

Flower Zones and Photo Spots

One of the show’s biggest draws is its large outdoor display area. This year, they are dedicated to Hong Kong’s landmark attractions and dishes. Tung Choi or Goldfish Street is the most popular display among visitors, featuring giant bowls of noodles, fried eggs, and teapots, all filled with flowers. These sculptures have become true focal points for photography lovers.

Furthermore, each of the Hong Kong’s 18 districts has presented its own garden plot. Every visitor can leave their online vote for a favorite district at: https://www.hkflowershow.hk/en/hkfs/2026/voting.html  and try their luck at winning a coupon prize worth up to HK$3,000.
