Five best spots to catch New Year’s Eve fireworks in Hong Kong
It’s party with a view to match at Tosca, Felix, Aqua, InterContinental Hong Kong and Alto
Ringing in the new year with an extravagant fireworks display is a tradition in Hong Kong – and this year, it’s set to be even more magical.
The display area will be widened by 35 per cent, and fireworks from an award-winning European maker will be incorporated into the 10-minute multimedia show.
The crowds will be entertained with a series of performance before the fireworks start. From around 10pm, a “Deco-Sphere” performance headlined by Australian performance group Strange Fruit will “warm up the crowds”, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The “fusion of theatre, dance and circus” will take place at the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier near Star House.
From 11pm, a series of pyrotechnic performances featuring “shooting stars” every 15 minutes will keep the crowds entertained.
The fireworks extravaganza will begin at the stroke of midnight. Here’s where you can ring in 2018 in style:
Tosca
With decadent dishes, impeccable service and magnificent views, Tosca undoubtedly has a soft spot in our hearts. This year, its New Year’s Eve Countdown Dinner and Party promises to be the talk of the town, with live music starting from 11.30pm until 1am.
Price: HK$4,580 per person
Felix
Felix has a reputation for its ritzy flair, and this year it is looking like the perfect destination for the glitzy crowd looking for a glamorous night out to bid 2017 farewell. This year, patrons can tuck into a scrumptious eight-course black tie gala dinner, complemented with live band music on the side starting from 8pm.
