New Year’s Eve Hong Kong Style

Published by jodapoet at 11:52 am under Travel, Writing Edit This

While San Francisco is the “City That Knows How” when it comes to partying, Hong Kong is the city that taught San Francisco.  The above photo is of yours truly this past March 2008.  The backdrop is Hong Kong Island.  It is lit up and decked out each night and struts it’s stuff for the symphony of lights show every evening.  It is a dramatic techno light display with music and sometimes fireworks.  The buildings on each side of Victoria Harbor on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon take part in the festivities.

The video above displays the New Year’s Eve celebration in Hong Kong.  The tall building which is set ablaze in lights is the IFC building, the tallest in Hong Kong and is about 90 stories high.  It is a spectacular sight.  I was there during the Lunar New Year celebration in 2005 and I was blown away.  Enjoy!!!
