Symphony of Lights

After 8 months in Hong Kong, I finally saw the Hong Kong light show from Tsim Sha Tsai. The first night Vicky and John were here, we took the old Star ferry over to Kowloon, wandered the markets, and made it back to the waterfront in time for the 8pm light show.

The light show has just been admitted into the Guinness Book of World Records because it has the largest number of independent or company buildings participating and has been going daily for the longest period of time.

The best view is from Kowloon because you can see the entire business area of Hong Kong Island from across Victoria Harbour. Strobe lights flash, buildings change colors, and some even sport pocka dots. It is quite a show although it would be interesting to have the music in the background to help coordinate the symphony of lights. I will have to find out what symphony they actually used when coordinating the light show.
