A heads up for all you early deal-seekers and itinerary-makers – while specific event details will be forthcoming (and whose leaks will be cleverly timed to maximize effect :-), we wanted to provide the above schedule to give you at least a general idea of which days to set aside. 

1. For those of you already arrived in town, we were planning to hold some sort of lowkey NYE event on the night of the 31st.  

2. Things may be slow on the 1st, so a daytrip to Macau, Aberdeen, Lantou Island, or the New Territories could be amenable. 

3. There will be some sort of banquet event on the 2nd (most likely dim sum – a Guangzhou specialty. YUM). 

4. And finally, the ceremony and dinner banquet and partay will be held on the 3rd. (Remember to take a disco nap)  

 As for airline and hotel deals specific to these days, we are digging around and will keep you posted on what we find. In the meantime, take a spin through kayak.com and hotels.com to get a lay of the land …
