受自由行及通脹帶動，零售市場持續暢旺。連接將軍澳港鐵站的新商場、位於新地（0016）天晉的基座「Popcorn」，即將於今年3月試業。港鐵投資物業主管梁羨靈表示，商場第1期的100個舖位已全數租出，租金料創將軍澳區新高指標。 梁羨靈指出，該商場總樓面約40餘萬方呎，1期佔約20萬方呎，已租出全數舖位；商場中約有四分一樓面面積屬於化妝品專區，已引入多個首次進駐區內的國際品牌，當中包括「Agnes b」等，並設有一個具800個座位的戲院。 Agnes b首進駐將軍澳區 她又指，現時區內欠缺大型商場，故「Popcorn」將受到區內及區外客歡迎，並以年輕中產為目標客戶群；2期則於今年年中開始招租。 她又指出，港鐵旗下12個商場，去年人流共錄得3.5億人次，創歷年新高；去年營業額亦比2010年上升4成，租金亦錄得雙位數字升幅。 Popcorn is the name of a shopping mall next to Tseung Kwan O station.

There is an exhibition on paper sculpture to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is on 23 Jan 2012. It is one of the traditional Chinese festivals that most of Chinese still treasure it. They would clean up and tidy up their house on the 28th day of 12th  month in the lunar calendar (21 Jan 2012). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. The Buddhist or Taoist families would clean the home altars and statues thoroughly. Before the cleaning, on 24th day of 12th month, they also hold a ceremony for gratitude to the kitchen god who is the recorder of family functions, reporting to the Jade Emperor. They often offer sweet foods to bride the kitchen god.

On 25 Dec 2011, Hong Kong police disposed of a mortor bomb of  45cm long in  Port Shelter Firing Range , Sai Kung.  3 days ago, HKP had disposed of a suspected World War II bomb Thursday after it was found near a popular hiking trail days ahead of the 70th anniversary of the fall of the city to the Japanese. A spokeswoman said the bomb was found Wednesday near the Wilson Trail between Stanley and Repulse Bay on the south of Hong Kong island, where allied forces fought the Japanese in the Battle of Hong Kong. "Based on our initial investigations, it's a bomb but we can't confirm if it's from the World War II era," she told AFP, adding it had been "disposed of". Allied forces defending the former British colony surrendered to the Japanese on Christmas Day, 1941 after more than two weeks of fierce fighting. -AFP/ac
