Typhoon Koinu may force nightlife-boosting Hong Kong bazaars to cancel this weekend


A second wave of weekend night bazaars in Hong Kong is up in the air as Typhoon Koinu looms, posing another stumbling block to the government’s bid to revitalise nightlife.

Authorities said in an email to Wan Chai Carnival vendors on Wednesday they would cut off electricity to the event this weekend if a No 3 warning signal was issued. Market marquees would also be taken down under a No 8 alert.
