Hong Kong Tourism Board invited members of the travel industry to Hong Kong House for a cocktail party to celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Horse.

Interested to learn more about what exactly the Year of the Horse means? Then read up on these facts courtesy of the City of Sydney.

People born in the Year of the Horse are clever, kind, animated and energetic. Although they sometimes talk too much, they are cheerful, perceptive, talented and love to be in the centre of a crowd. They are popular among friends, active at work and have a deft sense of humour.

2014 is the year of the Wooden Horse. Wood Horses are strong and stable and have a better ability to make decisions. Excellent at interacting with others, they are successful personally and professionally.
