Instead of huddling among the crowds at Monday’s pyrotechnic extravaganza, here are five hotels and restaurants where you can fine dine and sip Champagne while enjoying a grandstand view of the proceedings
Every year on October 1, crowds of people in Hong Kong gather by the harbour to watch the spectacular National Day fireworks. This upcoming Monday at 9pm will be no different, but if you want to avoid the crowds here are some of our suggestions for where to go.
1. The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
When planning to watch the fireworks, would the highest bar in the world not be your first thought? With a free-flow Champagne package, you can drink all the bubbly you want while watching the spectacular annual National Day display over the harbour from up high – which is definitely a great vantage point to have.
2. Aqua Hong Kong
Aqua Restaurant boasts some of the highest panoramic viewpoints in the city for fireworks watching in Hong Kong. If your plan is to dine in style before the display, you can opt to enjoy a five-course menu of contemporary Italian and Japanese cuisine at one of Hong Kong’s most stylish dining establishments.
3. InterContinental Hong Kong
The InterContinental Hong Kong, with its dramatic Kowloon waterfront location, will provide a spectacular setting for the National Day fireworks display. The hotel’s various restaurants such as Harbourside, Yan Toh Heen and Nobu will also be offering special set dinners that you can enjoy while taking in the stunning panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline in preparation for the display.
