Dazzling light shows at HKG harbor
Two spectacular light shows brighten up Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor – the new version of the internationally acclaimed nightly multi-media light show A Symphony of Light and the winter version of the Hong Kong Pulse Light Show. The two world-class shows, best viewed from the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, will brighten up Hong Kong’s Christmas with dynamic lighting effects and the illusion of an icy atmosphere at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
The new version of A Symphony of Lights features dynamic rays of light sent out in rhythm from 40 buildings and locations on both sides of the Victoria Harbor. The new show incorporates colored searchlights, lasers and all-new beam lights sent out like a special fan-shaped lighting from the roof of the Central Government Offices and the Revenue Tower. Ten LED panels on a number of harborside buildings are for the first time joining the multi-media show, displaying images and messages to encourage audience participation.
The show is complemented by music from Asia’s leading classical orchestra the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, providing visitors with a thrilling and unforgettable sound-and-light experience. The 10-minute show begins at 8 p.m. every evening.
By downloading the A Symphony of Lights mobile app, visitors can listen to the music simultaneously and share their photos on social media platforms. Immediately after this, the winter version of Hong Kong Pulse Light Show begins at the Hong Kong Cultural Center. Spectators on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront can view it from the Hong Kong Cultural Center Piazza.
The 3D projection show begins with a snowstorm which covers the Hong Kong Cultural Center in snow and ice and blows away the numbers on the Clock Tower, stopping time just before Christmas arrives.
An ingenious dragon then sets out to find the missing numbers which are scattered across Hong
Kong landmarks. The dragon eventually finds them and restarts time to save Christmas. During the show, the piazza is decorated with snowing effect along with glowing LED balls and a giant crystal ball. The 8-minute performance runs nightly until Dec. 28 at the Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui.
