In Hong Kong on traditional (that
is, not Chinese) New Years Eve the city is still
surprisingly vibrant, possibly due to the high
number of expats that make their home here, and
possibly in no small part also due to the
fantastically cosmopolitan nature of the place -
there really is nowhere in the world quite like Hong
Kong!
Beginning in 2008, a 60-second
numerical countdown to New Year's, consisting of LED
lights and pyrotechnic display effects, on the
facade of Two International Finance Centre was
launched, followed by a firework display and an
exhibition of the Symphony of Lights. |

Best areas to
join the party in the early evening
at the Central, Causeway Bay and
Tsim Sha Tsui regions, where you can
enjoy the best views of the night
lights along the harbor. The
eponymous Times Square shopping mall
also holds their own New years eve
ball drop event, mimicking the
famous and much-watched event held
at Times Square in New York City.
Large scale outdoor elebrations also
occur in Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin, Mong
Kok, and Kwun Tong.
At midnight, if
you can't get to or aren't inclined
to jockey for position to watch the
fireworks over Victoria Harbour,
then you could instead head for the
Two International Finance Centre,
where there will be a large digital
display countdown to midnight on an
enormous digital clock mounted on
the side of the building, followed
by a firework display and an
exhibition of the Symphony of
Lights.
The traditional
December 31st of the Gregorian
calendar is not as widely marked in
China and Hong Kong as the Chinese
New Year, but one thing is for sure,
there no shortage entertainment and
partying in China. If you are in
China to spend your New Year
holidays then head towards Hong
Kong. Hong Kong is one of the most
famous destinations for wining,
dining and entertainment, with
fireworks added into the equation at
New Year time.
The dazzling
midnight fireworks over the harbour
provide the visual delight. The best
vantage points to hang around with
friends and family to watch the
firework display are Central
District, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha
Tsui harbourfront, Victoria Harbour,
Culture Center, Tamar Site and Ocean
Terminal. |
