Symphony of Lights
The waterfront at Tsim Sha Tsui has a panoramic view of Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour, and it's the best spot to enjoy the Symphony of Lights, a multimedia light show which takes place nightly at 20:00. Over 30 buildings on both sides of the harbour are lit by laser beams during the spectacle. While you're there, check out the Avenue of Stars, a stretch of promenade devoted to the leading lights of Hong Kong film.
The Symphony of Lights is a synchronised building exterior decorative light and laser multimedia display, featuring 44 buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong accompanied by symphonic music.
Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. Displayed every night with good weather at 8pm Hong Kong Time, the show is an orchestration of music, decoration lights, laser light displays, and pyrotechnic fireworks. The multimedia light and sound show lasts for about 14 minutes.
The best vantage points include the "Avenue of Stars" on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, on the waterfront promenade outside the Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai and on sightseeing ferries (i.e. Star Ferry) running across the Victoria Harbor. The Show's music and narration live at the "Avenue of Stars" and the promenade outside the Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai every night. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the narration is in English, while it is in Mandarin on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and Cantonese on Sundays.
Special pyrotechnic fireworks will be added to the show on the rooftop of participating buildings on both sides of the habour or stages off at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. It will be added on special events or holidays, example like Chinese New Year and Christmas.
When Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No.3 or above or Red/Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is issued by the Hong Kong Observatory at or after 3pm on the Show day, the Show will be suspended. No show will be staged even if the Signal is removed before 8pm on that day. The show may also be suspended in emergencies without prior notice.
Cross the Harbour Tour
The Star Ferry has been making the trip across Victoria harbour for over 100 years and the magic of the crossing is still there. It's best at dusk, when the cityscape starts to light up with neon on both sides of the water. As an alternative, take a harbour tour. The extended routes give you different perspectives of Hong Kong's greatest natural asset
Symphony of Lights Cruise
The Guinness Book World Records has declared the nightly Symphony of Lights to be a world's largest permanent sound and light show. Colors and lights are accompanied by music and narration. Take a two-hour cruise board a traditional Star Ferry and enjoy the multimedia show while catching a sea breeze.
Enjoy the Symphony of Lights!
