Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor lit up in a dazzling spectacle Sunday as the 2024 Spring Festival fireworks marked the Year of the Dragon with record-breaking pyrotechnics! Over 23,888 fireworks burst across the sky during a 23-minute show, split into eight themed scenes blending tradition and modern artistry.
Crowds packed waterfront areas like Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai, phones raised to capture the vibrant colors reflecting on the harbor—a visual metaphor for the city’s hopes for stability and prosperity. One spectator joked it was 'like TikTok filters come to life!'
The display, timed for the second day of Lunar New Year celebrations, aimed to uplift residents and tourists alike. Hong Kong officials emphasized the event’s role in celebrating cultural heritage while drawing global attention to the city’s post-pandemic revival.
