HONG KONG - An annual night parade is going to transform Hong Kong into a glittering carnival of light, music and festive spirit to welcome the Year of the Horse.

Themed "Best Fortune. World Party", the Chinese New Year Night Parade will be held in Tsim Sha Tsui on Tuesday, the first day of the Chinese New Year.
