The Symphony of Lights, an incredible light show every night!
Since 2004, "A Symphony of Lights" (SoL) has been illuminating Hong Kong's skyline for millions of tourists to enjoy. This multi-media show has always been Hong Kong's signature icon, symbolizing the city's dynamic energy and diverse culture.
SoL took a new direction in December 2017, transforming Hong Kong's cityscape into a true symphony. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra recorded the new musical score in grand style, entwined with a vibrant and contemporary flavor, representing Hong Kong's charismatic rhythm. Traditional Chinese flutes and string bowed instruments such as the Erhu have been woven together to create a truly unique sound that reflects Hong Kong's "east meets west" character.
Pros:
- Great for families looking for an evening activity.
- Ideal for photographers.
- A free activity in Hong Kong.
Why it’s awesome:
- Nothing beats a musical and light show, and none compares to the Symphony of Lights, which takes place every night at 8 p.m. on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. The light show is a fifteen-minute show that illuminates the Hong Kong skyline across Victoria Harbour with lights and lasers. The show stretches all the way from Causeway Bay to Central Hong Kong.
What to do there:
- Find your favorite spot on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, or take a junk boat cruise along Victoria Harbour if the timing is right. Because most of the lights are on top of the buildings on Hong Kong island, the best place to see the light shows is from Tsim Sha Tsui promenade looking over at Victoria Peak. Make sure you watch the show every day at 8 p.m. Arrive early to secure the best spot!
