Let there be light

The new version of “A Symphony of Lights” features dynamic rays of light sent out in rhythm from 40 buildings and locations on both sides of the Victoria Harbour. The new show incorporates a variety of exciting effects such as coloured searchlights, lasers, and all-new beam lights sent out like a special fan-shaped lighting effect from the roof of the Central Government Offices and the Revenue Tower. Ten LED panels on a number of harbourside buildings are for the first time joining the multi-media show, displaying images and messages to encourage audience participation.
The show is complemented by music from Asia’s leading classical orchestra the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, providing visitors with a thrilling and unforgettable sound-and-light experience. The 10-minute show begins at 8pm every evening. By downloading the “Symphony of Lights” mobile app, visitors can listen to the music simultaneously and share their photos on social media platforms.
Immediately after “A Symphony of Lights” every evening, the winter version of the “Hong Kong Pulse Light Show” begins at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Spectators on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront can view it from the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza. The 3D projection show begins with a snowstorm which covers the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in snow and ice and blows away the numbers on the Clock Tower, stopping time just before Christmas arrives.
 An ingenious dragon then sets out to find the missing numbers, which are scattered across Hong Kong landmarks. The dragon eventually finds them and restarts time to save Christmas. During the eight-minute show, the piazza is decorated with snow effect along with glowing LED balls and a giant crystal ball. 
Both shows continue until December 28. For more, visit www.DiscoverHongKong.com/tc/see-do/events-festivals/highlight-events/
