Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour transformed into a canvas of light Sunday night as 31,888 fireworks exploded in a 23-minute spectacle to mark the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The show, divided into eight themed scenes, drew crowds of residents and tourists alike to witness the skyline shimmer with synchronized bursts of color.
Starting at 9 p.m., the display blended cutting-edge pyrotechnics with symbolic motifs celebrating unity and progress. The event also highlights Hong Kong’s unique role as a cultural bridge, blending tradition with modernity—perfect for travelers and diaspora communities reconnecting with Asian heritage.
Local officials called the fireworks a 'symbol of shared pride,' with many attendees sharing clips of the kaleidoscopic finale on social media. Pro tip for future explorers: grab a spot early near Tsim Sha Tsui or Central for the best views next year!
