Christmas and New Year in GZ

Do you know if there will be a special service at the Stone Heart Cathedral of Guangzhou on Christmas Day in English? If yes, at what time?

What does Guangzhou city offer for December 31st? I know the main New Year celebrations will follow the Chinese calendar and will therefore be held in January, but I am hoping there will be something like special events in the city centre or by the riverbank (I am not interested in parties in hotels or similar stuff).

How about in Honk Kong and Macau? Where do you suggest spending the night of Dec 31st?

Thanks!

that's just a personal opinion ... you can chose what is best for you.:)
