K-POP SINGER RAIN SPENDS CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IN HONG KONG

HONG KONG, Dec 27 (Bernama) -- The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) invited South Korean superstar Jung Ji-hoon (Rain) to spend the Christmas holiday in Hong Kong and serve as the honorary guest for the lighting ceremony at the spectacular Christmas Wonderland of "Hong Kong WinterFest" on Dec 23.

“I’m delighted to be back in Hong Kong, after my last visit in 2019, and to be welcomed by the city. I’m looking forward to trying as many of the local delicacies as I can and enjoying the amazing views, while soaking in the festive spirit and joy of Christmas,” said Rain in a statement.

Among others, the singer and actor enjoyed dim sum at a Michelin Cantonese restaurant and walked through the West Kowloon neighbourhood, where he enjoyed “typhoon shelter-style fried crab” at a local authentic eatery.

As Hong Kong debuted the sixth Generation Peak Tram recently, Rain took the opportunity to ride on the new generation tram up to the Peak, where he enjoyed the beautiful views of Victoria Harbour and its surroundings.
