Hong Kong’s skyline dazzled with a 23-minute fireworks extravaganza over Victoria Harbour on Monday, marking the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Over 400,000 spectators gathered along the waterfront to witness the synchronized display, which featured innovative 3D geometric patterns and a 'Prosperous Nation, United People' theme 🌟.
The show included golden peonies symbolizing national rejuvenation and rainbow-colored fountains representing cross-strait harmony. Local resident Clara Wong, 24, told us: 'It feels like the whole city is celebrating together – a vibrant highlight reel of our connection to the mainland.'
This year’s display coincided with new cultural initiatives promoting youth exchanges between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. Travel blogger Raj Patel (@WanderWithRaj) tweeted: 'Best free show in Asia! Pro tip: The Kwun Tong Promenade offers Insta-worthy views 📸.'
