Travel November 23rd, 2009Hong Kong in the night time is like a sparkler going off all the time. This is the home of the worlds largest light and sound show, and it goes off every night at 8:00pm. This event is actually in the Guinness Book of world records. There are 44 strategically chosen buildings that are involved and they are located around the Victoria Harbor. The whole city lights up with a spectacle of laser beams, search lights and in every color possible. This unforgettable display of night time color is synced up with music and narration that inspires the spirit, diversity and all around energy of this thriving metropolis.
The Symphony of lights is best seen from the harbor. Visitors can catch a dinner cruise or take a walk along the waterfront boardwalk, on either side of the harbor, to catch this breath taking show. There are five main themes represented in the display. It starts with the awakening, moves into energy, reminds us of heritage, takes us to partnership and in the finale we are brought into true celebration. Through out the year their are always special days to celebrate. On a special day, they will bring out even more pyrotechnic launches from the middle of the harbor.

It is located between the Avenue of Stars and the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
