"A Symphony of Lights" will conclude its two-decade-long run on November 18, with an additional fireworks display to mark the final performance. The Tourism Board chairman, Peter Lam, announced that the show has accompanied Hong Kong for 22 years and will now say farewell with added pyrotechnic elements. Moving forward, the board plans to introduce light and projection shows in an ongoing fashion next year. Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated that "A Symphony of Lights" will be replaced by light festivals held at various locations and times throughout the year. The city will also host the Hong Kong WinterFest from November 18 to January 5, with the annual winter celebrations marking their biggest year ever. Under "Winter Wonderland," three festive installations will be set up in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Causeway Bay, one of which is a 22-meter Christmas tree in Statue Square Gardens. Traditional New Year's Eve countdowns will end with fireworks over Victoria Harbour, and visitors can look forward to shopping and dining discounts.
A special fireworks display will accompany the final "A Symphony of Lights" show, bringing an end to its 22-year run, and the Tourism Board has announced plans for a series of new light and projection shows. Financial Secretary Paul Chan mentioned that these will be implemented in various locations and at different times of the year, as "A Symphony of Lights" is replaced. In addition to continued tourism initiatives, Hong Kong WinterFest will also launch this winter, with enhanced traditional celebrations and attractive discounts for shoppers and diners.
