Nighttime escapades are going to be one of the biggest travel trends of 2022, and Hong Kong has quite a few in store. Its skyline looks truly magnificent at night and the best way to witness it in its full glory is to show up for a daily light and sound show A Symphony of Lights.

This amazing spectacle has been illuminating Hong Kong’s skyline for the enjoyment of locals and tourists alike since 2004. The show starts every day at 8 p.m., if the weather permits, and it lasts for around 14 minutes, taking spectators on a unique journey that fully captures the spirit of Hong Kong.

A Symphony of Lights is a multi-media show that includes everything from music and laser lights to fireworks. Since its inception, 42 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbor agreed to participate in this light show, which explores the themes of awakening, energy, heritage, partnership, and celebration through its five phases.

You can observe the Symphony of Lights from several places in Hong Kong, but the Avenue of Stars on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront is generally considered the best spot to watch it. For an even more spectacular experience, you can also hop on one of the sightseeing ferries running across Victoria Harbor.
