Hong Kong New Years Eve 2013 Fireworks Live Stream Webcams, Events, NYE Parties, Hotels

In Hong Kong on New Years Eve, the people usually get together in Central, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui to celebrate and to look at thenight lights along the harbor. The Times Square shopping mall in Hong Kong also holds their own send-off to the ball drop held at TimesSquare in New York City. The celebration had been extended to other districts such as Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin, Mong Kok and Kwun Tong by district-wide celebration activities.

From Year 2008, for the last 60 seconds before entering the next year (23:59:00), 60-sec numerical countdown by LED lights with pyrotechnic display effects on the facade of Two International Finance Centre was launched, followed by special firework display of A Symphony of Lights. On New Year’s Day in Hong Kong there’s a Technicolor night parade, while stellar fireworks and holiday horse races are slated for Day 2 and 3 respectively.

For 2013, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) will mount its most extravagant, most dazzling display ever with the launch of the Hong Kong New Year Countdown Celebrations on December 31 moments before midnight. To ensure global audiences can share in the excitement of spectators in Hong Kong, the HKTB will provide satellite feed of the entire event for use by television broadcasters worldwide.

This year, the HKTB will add new visual effects to its already dazzling pyrotechnics, including numeric patterns for the countdown. The combination of colourful patterns and movements atop Hong Kong's iconic skyscrapers will symbolise a soaring dragon, set to light up the spectacular, world-famous Victoria Harbour.
