NYE Fireworks
The big countdown is just around the corner and there are plenty of ways to welcome 2012 that don’t involve embracing a bottle of booze on your couch. In anticipation of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Hong Kong plans to celebrate with a dragon-themed countdown.
Whether your night involves family-friendly affairs or all-night debauchery, make sure you check out the elaborate musical ‘golden dragon’ created by flashy fireworks that hops along various landmark building before spiraling up the Two IFC tower. From 11pm onwards, fireworks will be simultaneously blasted every 15 minutes from the ten participating buildings creating a glowing meteor shower of sparks.
As usual, large crowds are expected so make sure to get early in order to stake your claim on a good vantage point. If you want to get a perfect view from Kowloon side, these are these spots may work for you:
- Along the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront between the Avenue of Stars and Cultural Centre (with live music)
- Along the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade (with live music)
- Ocean Terminal Rooftop Car Park at Harbour City (must spend $1000+ in mall)
And if you are partying on Hong Kong Island, try these spots:
- Along the Expo Promenade at the Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai (with live music)
- Around Central Piers
