Victoria Harbour's fireworks display is one of the most spectacular in the world. Find a comfortable spot to watch the dazzling fireworks and neon light show as you ring in the new year. It's a truly romantic experience. 🎆
Hong Kong's fireworks show is usually held three times a year, on National Day, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. The 2024 fireworks show set a record, lasting 12 minutes and spanning 1,300 meters. It was also very crowded with tourists. 😂 The 2025 New Year's Eve fireworks show is sure to be even more exciting. 👍

1⃣️ Hotel Recommendations: If you're looking for a hotel with a great view of the fireworks, we recommend the Regent Hong Kong, Rosewood Hong Kong, K11, Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, and Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong. The W Hong Kong doesn't have a view of Victoria Harbour, and the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers is a bit low, so the view isn't as good. If you want to book a hotel, be sure to do so in advance, as prices will go up closer to the event.

2⃣️ Coastal Plazas: Tsim Sha Tsui has a great view, but it gets very crowded around 6pm. The Golden Bauhinia Square is also very crowded. The Central waterfront is a bit off-center, so if you want to watch the fireworks from there, you'll need to get there early to get a good spot.
