 Hong Kong Chinese New Year Fireworks 2016


Gung Hay Fat Choy!

The annual Hong Kong Chinese New Year Fireworks extravaganza is truly an institution and event you can't miss.Fireworks and firecrackers are essential parts of the celebrations. The New Year in Hong Kong is greeted with an extraordinary production which can be seen from both sides of the Harbour.
This is one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the world. To welcome the New Year, a fleet of boats, pontoons and barges are set up in the middle of Victoria Harbour to launch the pyrothecnic wonder as the sky above the harbour explodes in bursts of shimmering color on a breathtaking show that lasts approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

People believe the firecrackers can scare away the evil spirits and bring in all the good luck for the coming year. The New Year Fireworks are an intrinsic part of Chinese tradition and one of the city's landmark events.

When are the Chinese New Year Fireworks 2016?
Where are the best spots to watch?


The Fireworks are  held at 8pm on the Second Day of Chinese New Year, in this year is on February 9, 2016.

There is no admission charge, you can watch all along the waterfront.

Which side of the harbour? As a general rule, you should watch from whatever side you are staying and plan on walking. It's hard to find an available taxi or MTR after the firework because there are too many people.
Our favourite spot to watch is from the Tsim Sha Tsui side with Victoria Peak and the Central Skyline in the background, you can watch all along the Promenade and the Avenue of the Stars from the Star Ferry Terminal to the New World Centre in the East.

Another popular vantage point for fireworks is the Hung Hom Bypass, which is closed to traffic between Salisbury Road and Hung Hom Road.

If staying in the Hong Kong Island side, you should consider the area around the Convention Centre and Bauhinia Square or anywhere along the Central Waterfront Promenade where extends from the Central Star Ferry Pier to Tamar Park and has elevated walkways for great views.

The Harbour Cruise is also a good choice, a one-of-a-kind experience, or from one of the many rooftop restaurants and lounges in the city, but booking early is a must.
 

The Hong Kong Chinese New Year Fireworks together with the Parade are two of the city's most anticipated Chinese New Year events, don't miss them if you are in town!

Enjoy the festivities and celebrations of this amazing time that is Chinese New Year in Hong Kong!
