Bright Skies Ahead

Dubbed as the one of the world's most spectacular light shows, the marvelous "A Symphony of Lights" nightly light show along Victoria Harbour will be further enhanced this Christmas and New Year. The additional skyscrapers participating in the coordinated production and pyrotechnics from building rooftops adding highlights to the show on selected evenings will usher in the holiday season.

A Tale of Two Trees

An artistic reinterpretation of the traditional Christmas tree will be installed adjacent to the Observation Wheel. The "XTree" by France's 1024 Architecture is made with lit-up metallic scaffoldings that represent branches, and augmented by strategically placed light decorations that dance to a matching soundtrack. Hong Kong's Christmas atmosphere is further enhanced by the iconic Christmas Tree at Statue Square, enticing visitors with its sparkling festive display.

Along with a range of winter celebration activities taking place at key attractions, festive seasonal events and night tours, these festivities promise to spice up visitors' holiday season with an unforgettable visual voyage in Hong Kong.
