Hong Kong New Year Countdown Celebrations spark arts spectacular across Victoria Harbour




KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 -- Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour lit up exceptionally bright as the city rang in 2022, taking its thriving art scene right to the global centre-stage.

At 11:59pm on Dec 31, last year, the 65.8-metre-high LED facade of M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District, was transformed into a countdown clock, which travelled across the rich cityscape of Hong Kong.

Once the clock struck midnight, a special edition of the multimedia show, A Symphony of Lights cast a dazzling array of visual effects across Hong Kong’s famous skyline complemented by rooftop pyrotechnics and lighting effects launched at various elevations.

This is along with New Year’s greetings in 15 different languages on the M+ Facade, sending sincere blessings to the rest of the world, according to a statement.

The dazzling light art extravaganza across the harbour was synchronised with energetic, jubilant music performed by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, the city’s flagship orchestra, in an outdoor concert in the West Kowloon Cultural District.
