Part 3, the 46th HK brands and products expo. 維園工展會

Eating is definitely the most important part of the Expo. Lots of booths are here offering a very wide variety of food, from dim sum, abalone, seafood, congee...even Taiwanese drinks and snacks. That was the 2nd last day on my visit and I noticed quite many booths taking the most common HK style slogan "want money, don't want the products" (photo 5). *check the last photo. Some coach tours (for those elderly from the New Territories - northern part of HK) were arranged and some courier services were there too. Quite many booths offer free delivery services for expenses over a few hundred HK$. *my photos for the 3 parts of this expo is just about 1/4th of the whole area.

Missed this for long long time.
Good that LA has similar fair during CNY every year in Pomona.

Stella, you have to let me know where and when of this fair you are talking about. :)

Hi Pixmation,

The CNY fair(it is called "Wai Yen Kung Shueng Da Jin" in Chinese)is this coming Saturday(Jan 14) and Sunday(Jan 15) at Fairfax in Pomona. You take Pomona 60 Freeway go "East" then exit on "Fairfax" then you will see it. If I know how to go there that means easy to find. This event is sponsored by our Bank. Good to bring your friend there. Lots of CNY products and food.

It is the same location for the LA County Fair in Sept every year.

Interesting to know. That takes almost 30-40 minutes from your place to where you describe in Pomona.

Hi Sea,
Yes you are right. It takes 40 minutes to Pomona from my house. That is why I seldom go there now.

Hi Pixmation,
You are so smart to find this link as fast.
So it is Fairplex not Fairfax. I think Fairfax is in West Hollywood where the famous Farmers Market at.
I think you can join their photo contest.
BTW, there is another small version CNY street fair on Feb 4(Saturday only) from 10 am to 5 pm. It is on Valley Boulevard between Garfield Avenue and Almansor Avenue. I found out today as our bank is also the sponsor.(No bank name here.)

I was about to ask if there is another Fairfax in Pomona. Thanks for clarifying it.
