Event
Information:
In
Hong Kong on New Year's Eve, the
people usually get together in
Central, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha
Tsui to celebrate and to look at the
night lights along the harbor. The
Times Square shopping mall in Hong
Kong also holds their own send-off
to the ball drop held at Times
Square in New York City. The
celebration had been extended to
other districts such as Tsuen Wan,
Sha Tin, Mong Kok and Kwun Tong by
district-wide celebration
activities.
From
Year 2008, for the last 60 seconds
before entering the next year
(23:59:00), 60-sec numerical
countdown by LED lights with
pyrotechnic display effects on the
facade of Two International Finance
Centre was launched, followed by
special firework display of A
Symphony of Lights. On New Year’s
Day in Hong Kong there’s a
Technicolor night parade, while
stellar fireworks and holiday horse
races are slated for Day 2 and 3
respectively.

For
, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB)
will mount its most extravagant,
most dazzling display ever with the
launch of the Hong Kong New Year
Countdown Celebrations on December
31 moments before midnight. To
ensure global audiences can share in
the excitement of spectators in Hong
Kong, the HKTB will provide
satellite feed of the entire event
for use by television broadcasters
worldwide.
This
year, the HKTB will add new visual
effects to its already dazzling
pyrotechnics, including numeric
patterns for the countdown. The
combination of colourful patterns
and movements atop Hong Kong's
iconic skyscrapers will symbolise a
soaring dragon, set to light up the
spectacular, world-famous Victoria
Harbour.
