Hong Kong’s famous picturesque Victoria
Harbour with its magnificent skyline is set to be even more spectacular this December with the staging of two light shows – the new version of the internationally acclaimed nightly multi-media A Symphony of Light and the winter version of the Hong Kong Pulse
Light Show – from 1st to 28th December 2017.

The two extravaganzas,
best viewed from the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront in the Kowloon side, will brighten up Hong Kong’s
Christmas atmosphere with dynamic lighting effects and the illusion of an wintry setting at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
The new version of A Symphony of Lights features dynamic
rays of light sent out in rhythm from 40 buildings and locations on both sides
of the Victoria Harbour. The new show incorporates a variety of exciting
lighting effects such as coloured searchlights, lasers, and all-new beam lights
sent out like a special fan-shaped lighting effect from the roof of the Central
Government Offices and the Revenue Tower. Ten LED panels on a number of
harbourside buildings are for the first time joining the multi-media show,
displaying images and messages to encourage audience participation.
The show is complemented by music from Asia’s leading
classical orchestra the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, providing visitors
with a thrilling and unforgettable sound-and-light experience. The 10-minute
show begins at 8pm every evening.
This is immediately followed by the winter version
of Hong Kong Pulse Light Show - an 8-minute performance - at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The 3D
projection show begins with a snowstorm which covers the Hong Kong Cultural
Centre in snow and ice and blows away the numbers on the Clock Tower, stopping
time just before Christmas arrives.
An ingenious dragon then sets out to find the missing
numbers which are scattered across Hong Kong landmarks. The dragon eventually
finds them and restarts time to save Christmas. During the show, the piazza is
decorated with snowing effect along with glowing LED balls and a giant crystal
ball.
