 Deserted Grand Wedding Hall The wedding hall is located at the century-old Declared Monument, built in Edwardian Style with Gothic interior architecture. The restaurant harmonizes Chinese cuisine with ballroom dancing in a monumental building. The 50-foot high ceiling renders a 2 level festive hall with balcony seating overlooking the 2,000 square foot dancing floor shimmering with a 10-foot long crystal chandelier. Stained glass windows, dark teak paneling and flooring, and art deco, combine to give a period feel. Furniture and fixtures are cleared recently for a major renovation of the building.

Hong Kong | 2025 6 Jun 2025  Hong Kong's US Consulate Marks June 4 Anniversary with Candles The Consulate General of the United States, Hong Kong and Macau office, displayed commemorative candles in their windows on the 36th anniversary of the June 4 Tiananmen massacre on Wednesday. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, died when the People’s Liberation Army cracked down on protesters around Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. Hong Kong used to be one of the few places on Chinese soil where annual vigils, attended by up to 180,000, were held to commemorate the people who died in the 1989 crackdown. But police banned the gathering at Victoria Park since 2020. Central . Hong Kong | 2025 5 Jun 2025  Sea of Candles at June 4 Vigil Vanishing Freedoms in Hong Kong The sea of candles at the candlelight vigil at Victoria Park in Hong Kong where 150,000 people brave thunderstorms and torrential rain for the 24th June 4 vigil in 2013. For over 3 decades, tens of thousands have gathered annually on June 4 in Hong Kong's Victoria Park, lighting candles and singing songs to commemorate the victims of the bloody 1989 massacre on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Organisers said 110,000-180,000 participated in the vigil each year between 2013-2019 peaking on the 30th anniversary. But the tradition has vanished in Hong Kong after the police banned the annual vigil starting 2020, citing pandemic-related prevention measures. That year, over 10,000 defied the ban and entered Victoria Park, taking down the barricades, to join the candlelight vigil, undaunted by at least 20 police vans deployed nearby. On June 4, 2022, massive police and police vans have been deployed near Victoria Park and Causeway Bay. Police have warned that anyone participating in an unauthorised assembly risks up to 5 years in prison, as Victoria Park is closed ahead of Saturday's Tiananmen crackdown anniversary. The park in Causeway Bay has traditionally been the site of commemorative candlelit vigils to remember the 1989 dead. "Banning the vigils fits with the claim many are making that 'One Country, Two Systems' has now become 'One Country, One System,' with fewer and fewer political markers of difference between the two former colonies and [mainland China]," said Jeff Wasserstrom, a historian of modern China at the University of California in Irvine.

Turnout was at record high despite pouring rain before and being snubbed by college students who are severing ties with China.

The event is organised by pro-Beijing groups and will run from June 1 to June 5.
