New Year fireworks on Jan 29

January 26, 2017
Auspicious anniversary

Auspicious anniversary:  The Lunar New Year fireworks display will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The 2017 Lunar New Year Fireworks Display over Victoria Harbour will be held at 8pm on January 29, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

 

Co-ordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau, 23,888 pyrotechnic shells will be fired from three barges during the 23-minute show's eight scenes.

 

Highlights include the red number "20" in the first scene, marking the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

 

The display's climax will feature colourful fireworks going off at rapid-fire speed for half a minute, celebrating the year with joy and blessings.

 

People can enjoy the spectacle from both sides of the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui, Mid-levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, the Hung Hom Bypass and the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade.
