Hong Kong welcomes the New Year with granduer

Hong Kong welcomes the New Year with great enthusiasm and merriment. More than 300,000 local residents and tourists gathered at both sides of the Victoria Harbor to celebrate the arrival of 2014.

This is followed immediately afterwards by the large fireworks display and the famous Symphony of Lights, a synchronised light and laser show which covers dozens of buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour. The show actually takes place daily throughout the year, but on new year’s eve they really pull out the stops with a spectacular special event.

At Golden Bauhinia Square along the Victoria Habor on the Hong Kong island, thousands of people witnessed ten-second countdown shown in a giant LED display. On the other side of the harbor, Tsim Sha Tsui, people enjoyed the best view of fireworks shows which was launched just at the beginning of the new year.

A lot of people choose to visit Hong Kong on cruises over the new year period, and it is fair to say that the vantage points on the harbour are probably among the best as you’ll get an uninterrupted view of the fireworks and lights.
