Hong Kong to Take Guests and Their Senses on a Wild Halloween Ride


Crumbling wall villages, creaky Victorian mansions and thousands of years of folklore populated with ghosts, ghouls and demons are just some of the reasons Hong Kong is a great Halloween destination. Its unique history as a place where East meets West has garnered the city a reputation for Halloween activities. 

From decorated shopping malls and themed menus to raucous street parties and elaborate theme park celebrations, here’s a peek into some of the best Halloween events in Hong Kong for guests to make their way to.

Ocean Park Halloween Fest 2016

Get set for a whole-new level of extreme frights and a fantastical mix of spooky delights this year at Ocean Park Halloween Fest 2016. Asia’s largest Halloween celebration is putting the finishing touches on ten all-new unique experiences at eight haunted attractions for its highly-anticipated launch. And to offer guests even more immersive and interactive experiences, a series of brand-new offerings, ranging from Scare Zones or Secret Rooms designed exclusively for Halloween Fest Premium Ticket holders, to the Halloween Fest App, Halloween Ghost Hunt, will kick the Halloween fun up a few notches.

For a bit of deadly dazzle, the rave-party-themed Club Blood will invite guests to reveal the darker side of the party host. Another adrenaline-pumping Halloween experience, Ghostbusters Live!, will transform guests into their childhood heroes to battle hordes of evil ghosts. Guests can explore the Ghostbusters’ secret base at the fire station, as well as meet the iconic character Slimer and fire a proton gun at the themed practice range to ‘bust’ some ghosts!

What’s more, to ensure that the Halloween Fest experience is truly unforgettable, Halloween Fest Premium Ticket holders can enjoy all the unique experiences including exclusive access to four terrifying Secret Rooms, on top of express queueing for all haunted houses and selected attractions. Guests can also book the Halloween Fest SkeleFun VIP Tour, which will feature a wealth of exclusive offerings, such as an exclusive visit to the Halloween Make-up Centre, access to Secret Rooms at selected haunted houses, a rare opportunity to sit for a ghost-themed special-effects make-up and costuming session, and priority access to all haunted attractions and rides before and after the tour.

The public can experience Halloween Fest on 17 selected dates from 2nd – 31st October, beginning at 10am each day, and all the way to 11pm. Thrill seekers and horror aficionados can enjoy all the fun and fear of Halloween Fest with one admission ticket (HK$385).

A weekend at Kudat Riviera

Image
Last weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited for a complimentary night's stay at the Serendipity Villa of Kudat Riviera. For anyone who has been following the project, the Kudat Riviera was a promising luxury villa project that was halfway done and abandoned due to some complicated reasons several years ago. Fortunately, the owners and original investors of the project eventually returned and became their own developers to see through the project's completion -- and the result is stunning! As of today, the only villa that is open for rent is the Serendipity Villa (with rental starting from MYR500 per room/night), but the rest of the villas (five to six of them ready) will be officially opened for the public in November. The Bali-inspired Kudat Riviera makes an exciting place for a weekend getaway with family and friends, as well as to hold small gatherings and events, such as birthday parties and beach or garden weddings. Serendipity Villa is located...
