Anniversary fireworks set for July 1
June 20, 2012
Fifty-thousand pyrotechnic shells will be fired from five barges in the July 1 fireworks display celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The 23-minute show over Victoria Harbour will start at 8pm, and consist of nine scenes.
Highlights include the English letters “HK” and the Chinese characters for the number "15" appearing 24 times, showcasing Hong Kong's growth from a fishing village to a metropolis.
For the first time, the show will be synchronised with pyrotechnics fired from the roofs of nine buildings on Hong Kong Island.
The display can be seen from both sides of the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui, Mid-levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Hung Hom.
Radio Television Hong Kong Radio Four (FM 97.6 - 98.9) will broadcast synchronised music.
