  • Forty Four buildings in Hong Kong put on a light and sound show every night at 8 P.M. The show consists of colored lights on the outsides of buildings, lasers, spotlights, and fireworks (on special holidays), all synchronized to music. The buildings located on both sides of Victoria Harbour span a distance of 6.5 Km or 4 miles, so there is no one place to see all the buildings at the same time. The best locations for viewing the show are: Kowloon side - upper deck platform between Star Ferry and the Avenue of the Stars, or Island Side - from the waterfront at the Convention Center. The music for the show is played publicly at the above two locations, and on the radio at 103.4 and 106.8 FM. This multiple computer controlled show is 13 min 40 sec long, so this shorter UA-cam version has had the building introductions removed, and a couple other segments cut short to make it fit. You've seen the TSO house at christmas; this show is on a much larger scale with more I/O controllers per building than the TSO house. It is nearly one mile across the harbour. This show uses 17 nights of the 55 nights of tripod mounted filming I have done so far. (They added a bunch of new buildings last summer so I had to start filming it all over again.) This show was filmed as late as May 2008. I have been filming this show for nearly three years in order to put up the best show that I can. If you come to Hong Kong for the 2008 Equestrian Olympic events, be sure to catch this amazing show. This is one of the things that makes Hong Kong an outstanding city.

    What I really like about this vid is that you actually get to see what's going on on the Kowloon side! I've watched it obviously from TST but never actually seen the show from on the Island side, very nice, there's more going on there than I thought!

    This show was the icing on the cake for me at the end of a great tour of China. HK is a amazing city. its clean, classy, easy to navigate, excellent public services and the people are very friendly. A home away from home for UK people. It far surpassed my expectations and I will definetly be going back.

    amazing video - and an amazing show :) I saw it just the other week when I was in Hong Kong, and it was definately one of the big highlights :D

    We got to see the Symphony of lights from the deck of our cruise ship parked at Kowloon Ocean Terminal - when in Hong Kong, it is a must see as part of the atmosphere.

    I agree, the best Symphony of Lights on UA-cam.

  • @DuyDisney92
    @DuyDisney92 12 років тому

    Yes, the show starts every 8p.m even on Earth Day except on severe tropical cyclone. The lights are on every day and at 8p.m it starts to sync with music.

    It's down to 20 buildings participating now. I don't know what alternate universe you all went to where Hong Kong was clean and filled with friendly people, but I wish I could have gone to that one.

  • @Vodskibandit

    Awesome city btw, really wanna go back (was only there 2 months ago!). Would be great to watch the show from the peak on a clear day too

    very nice.. I am really sad because I missed to watch this when i visited hongkong.. what a shame.

    1. It is always at 8pm. And in summer, it will always be dark by 8pm, so no worries.
    2. Planes don't fly over there when land, however, they do during takeoff sometimes (depending where the aircraft is going). However, by the time the plane reaches that area, the plane is already well-above the buildings. But I believe small aircrafts and helicopters aren't allowed during that time.

    I've been to HK twice before and found the people to be extremely helpful and accomodating. And the city was most of the time spotless.Sounds like you had a bad trip, which is unforunate as i doubt it happens often

    The broadcast language depends on the day. They alternate between English, Cantonese and Mandarin on different (set) days.

  • @vinniram

    I think you can't actually hear the show unless you're on one of those boats that goes around the harbour, or listen to the radio.

    I think we ended up in a lot of areas that were under construction too. Clerks and public servants were great, but my fellow customers and travelers certainly were not.
    Also, I had been living in Japan for three years before going to Hong Kong so my conflict-management skills had really atrophied. I'd definitely visit or live in Hong Kong any time.

  • @VelocityRXB
    @VelocityRXB 15 років тому

    A couple of Q's if I may-
    1. What happens in the summer months when it is not dark by 8 do they push the start time back?
    2. Do they place restrictions on aircraft coming in during this as I noticed some planes follow the route of the water when coming in to land and surely they do not do that when this is on!?
    and 3. What is the name of that underground shopping area near the space museum subway? You get back up onto the road and you would never know it was there underneath you!

    It'd be silly to put on fireworks at the same time. The 2 different sets of lights would interfere with each other and you'd see nothing. Goes to show some people just don't know what they're asking for....

    Ok I just came back from Hong Kong like yesterday. The Symphony Lights weren't as good as what this video has shown. There were no fireworks as shown, and the broadcast was in cantonese and it was quite hazy, pretty much boring stuff! I would have give this place a miss!
