Victoria Harbour, the deep water harbour between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, is one of the city’s greatest assets. Over the years of Hong Kong’s history, the harbour has been the territory’s focal point and the jewel that amazes people over and over. The island side of the harbour has been experiencing a rapid development over the past few decades. With the construction of towering skyscrapers of unique architectural styles, the city is being considered as one of the most spectacular cities in the world. With these marvellous structures adorning the city skyline, the harbour draws thousands of people from all over the world.
A famous event at the harbour is the Harbour Lights Show, which is a fabulous multimedia display named by the Guinness World Records as the “World’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show”. With the attractive nature of the show, its official name is ‘Symphony of lights’. The show is the grandest free light show one can witness, which will be fascinating for the travellers to witness. The lights of the Victoria Harbour are synchronised with a laser show moving to match the rhythm of the music supplied. To listen to the music people need to be at the waterfront promenades on both sides of the harbour. The show takes place at 8pm every day creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere with colourful lights, searchlights and laser beams performing an extraordinary spectacle that celebrates the spirit, diversity and vibrancy of Hong Kong.
The show is in five main themes which are Energy, Awakening, Heritage, Celebration and Partnership. Each theme takes turns one by one as the audio speakers do the introduction. The best spots to get the best view of the Symphony of lights include the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, the Avenue of Stars and sightseeing ferries such as the star ferry.
The discerning traveller to the city seeking a fine Hong Kong Boutique hotel will be delighted to uncover the opulence of Cosmo Hotel. Boasting an interior of contemporary designs adorned with state-of the-art amenities, it is perhaps the best 4 Star Hotel Hong Kong has to offer.
