What is A Symphony of Lights?

Now that you have the opportunity to come to Hong Kong, of course you must arrange an evening to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor. However, apart from simply taking photos with the night view of Victoria Harbor next to the pier, have you ever thought about other ways to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor? Maybe you can join this Symphony of Lights light show staged in Victoria Harbour.

A Symphony of Lights is a large-scale light show that uses buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbor. A total of 43 skyscrapers will release fireworks and display special lighting effects during the show, showing a different view of Victoria Harbor than usual. More importantly, you don’t need to buy any tickets. As long as you arrive on both sides of Victoria Harbor on time before the Symphony of Lights starts, you can enjoy this large-scale light show.

If you are coming to Hong Kong for the first time and want to see the night view of Victoria Harbor, you must attend the Symphony of Lights light show and go to Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, so that you can enjoy Victoria Harbor from two different angles night view.

Symphony of Lights venue

As mentioned at the beginning, A Symphony of Lights is a large-scale light show with a total of 43 skyscrapers participating, almost most of the skyscrapers on both sides of Victoria Harbor will participate. So whether you are standing at the Waterfront Park on Hong Kong Island or the Waterfront Park in Kowloon Tong, you can still enjoy A Symphony of Lights.

The best place to watch Symphony of Lights

Since the skyscrapers on both sides of Victoria Harbor will participate in A Symphony of Lights, you only need to go near Tsim Sha Tsui Pier and Central Pier, both of which are places where you can enjoy Symphony of Lights. However, since the coastline of Hong Kong Island is straighter than that of the Kowloon Peninsula, if it is your first time to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor, it is more recommended to go to the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier side to enjoy it.

Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade

Tsim Sha Tsui has always been the best place to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor, so it is no exception during the performance of A Symphony of Lights. During the Symphony of Lights, the exterior walls of the four skyscrapers, Bank of China Tower, HSBC Head Office, Two International Finance Center, and Central Center, will be changed into different colors. If you want to see a completely different night view of Victoria Harbor, don’t miss it.

Sightseeing boat in Victoria Harbor

In addition to enjoying the Symphony of Lights at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, you only need to purchase a sightseeing boat ticket to go to the center of Victoria Harbor to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor.

Central and Western District Promenade – Central Section

If you have already seen the night view of Victoria Harbor and A Symphony of Lights at the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, you can go to the Central Pier to enjoy the Symphony of Lights again. In this way, you can compare the differences between the coastline of Hong Kong Island and the coastline of Kowloon Peninsula.

Transportation to Symphony of Lights Venue

There are two venues for Symphony of Lights, the Central Pier and the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier. To get to the Central Pier, you can choose to take the MTR to Central Station, and then walk from the footbridge in 5 minutes. As for transportation to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, you can choose to take the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui Station, and then walk for 10 minutes to reach Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.

If you plan to go from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to enjoy A Symphony of Lights, it is not recommended to take the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui, because it is more convenient to take the Star Ferry from Central Pier to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, and you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor from the sea .
