The Hot Air Balloon Festival farce isn’t the first time Hong Kong has struggled with giant inflatables. That doesn’t bode well for Christmas
The recent AIA International Hot Air Balloon Festival in Hong Kong was billed as a fun-filled, family-friendly event that would literally lift people’s spirits. Instead, it was a massive letdown.
Held at the Central Harbourfront from September 4 to 7, the advertised highlight was to be tethered balloon rides that promised “breathtaking views” from 10 to 20 metres (33 to 66 feet) above ground.
It is not the first time Hong Kong has been unlucky with events involving giant inflatables.
