This grand celebration will send off 2023 with the biggest and longest New Year countdown firework musical display ever seen. Taking place across Victoria Harbour, the 12-minute show titled 'New Year New Legend' will take you on a captivating journey through the four seasons.
What time does the fireworks display start?
As the clock strikes midnight, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will unveil a large countdown clock, signalling the start of the vibrant fireworks lighting up the skyline accompanied by a blend of electronic, Western classical, and Chinese instrumental music.
To heighten the ambience leading up to midnight, there will be pre-show wish-making sessions every 15 minutes from 11 pm onwards, where folks can marvel at the spectacle of pyrotechnics painting the sky in a mesmerising display of four different colours representing love, health, happiness, and wealth for the New Year.
Where can I see the New Year countdown in Hong Kong?
There are plenty of prime viewing spots to watch the fireworks for free in Hong Kong – Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, West Kowloon Waterfront, Central Ferry Pier or Golden Bauhinai Square in Wan Chai to name a few – just make sure that you get to one early!
