Next, let's introduce the 12 best places to watch fireworks!
1. Central harbour promenade
The central and western coastal promenade, which covers almost the whole central and Western coastline of Hong Kong Island, has always been a popular place to watch Hong Kong Fireworks Show. The central Tianxing Wharf (wharf 7) on the central section of the long corridor is equipped with a public viewing platform, which allows you to see part of the fireworks scenery; as for the central 9 and 10 public wharves adjacent to the central coastal activity space, the view of fireworks is better.
2. Tama Park
TIMA Park, adjacent to the waterfront promenade of the central and western regions, has always been an oasis in downtown areas. The public space extending from the headquarters of the Hong Kong SAR government to the sea, where the public can lie down at will, watch fireworks on the grassland, and correspond to the view platform grassland of sea transportation in the port city of Tsim Sha Tsui on the other side.
3. Golden Bauhinia Plaza, Wanchai
The pontoons that launch fireworks are parked in Wanchai opposite the sea. Therefore, from Golden Bauhinia Square to Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, you can not only watch the fireworks at a close distance, but also hear the sound of fireworks breaking out in your ears, feel the vibration generated, and even smell the bright smell of gunpowder. Music and on-site commentary will be played in the Golden Bauhinia Square, allowing citizens and tourists to watch with fireworks. We need to pay attention to the sensitive partners or not to choose to watch fireworks here.
4. Luigi Road, hilltop
You don't have to look up when you watch fireworks. Just stand on Lugard Road, where there are many mansions on the top of the half mountain of Taiping mountain, you can overlook the whole Victoria Harbour. In addition, there are high-rise buildings in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon as the background, which is the favorite fireworks composition of photography enthusiasts. It's most convenient to drive by yourself, but there must be a lot of people going to Lingxiao Pavilion on the top of the mountain that night. There is a chance of traffic jam up and down the mountain.
5. BMW mountain
The terrain of Hong Kong Island is undulating and there are many hills. Braemar hill, located in the north corner, is a hot spot for photographing the harbor. It can enjoy a panoramic view of fireworks from a high position. Among them, hongxianglu peak is a better location. Some people will go to the turning place near Shuren University and Hanji international school, but they can see the panoramic high position very well. Some people will come to wait at two or three in the afternoon, and there are not many street lights. Remember to take a flashlight and go down the mountain. It is not recommended to come alone.
6. Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront garden
Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront is a traditional hot spot for viewing fireworks in Hong Kong. However, it is better to have a continuous stretch of the promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui. No matter how many people there are, it is not difficult to find a place to watch fireworks. The coastal area of the bell tower in Tsim Sha Tsui and the open-air square in the cultural center of Hong Kong is a place for strategists to contend for. To avoid the main flow of people a little, you can try to find a place to the sea in Xingguang garden. On that day, the police will control the flow of people and make special traffic arrangements to block specific road sections. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive early to occupy a favorable position and try to take public transport to avoid driving.
7. Shipping point of view
The seaport city seaport tower viewing platform "seaport view" was officially opened in October 2017. It is the best place to see fireworks. There is a large area of artificial grassland here, which can even make people lie down to watch the Victoria Harbour FIREWORKS SHOW. I believe not many people have done it. There are many restaurants in the same building that provide global cuisine, and they also have invincible sea view. If you are willing to spend money, these restaurants are also ideal places to watch fireworks.
8. Signal Hill Garden
In the noisy Tsim Sha Tsui, there is a quiet place -- Signal Hill Garden. Signal hill is a small hill on the coast of Tsim Sha Tsui. The signal tower on the hill provided the Royal Hong Kong Observatory with a time reporting service for ships passing or stopping at Victoria Harbour between 1907 and 33. The time tower has now been listed as a statutory monument, and the surrounding area under the tower has also been opened as a signal hill park. You can see the whole Victoria Harbour from the signal hill garden. Although part of the view is blocked by the hotel beside the star avenue, there is still a hidden fireworks viewing place.
9. Xijiu Cultural District Nursery Park
Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, the waterfront area adjacent to Victoria Harbour has a large number of grasslands and open spaces, and a public cultural freedom pact combining music, dance and art is being held every month. In fact, in the nursery Park, or in the adjacent West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, you can usually see the sunset view of Victoria Harbour, and on the second day of the new year, you can enjoy fireworks, and the space is wide, so the crowd is not too crowded.
10. Honghe seaside garden
There are also many good places to see fireworks in Honghe near Tsimshatsui. For example, the Honghe seaside garden near the coast can not only give you a clear view of the harbour, but also has a spacious place. There are more slope grass beside the sea side, which can sit on the ground, not afraid to be blocked by the people in front of you, and more and more people know how to watch fireworks. The Kwun Tong line of MTR has been opened in 2017. You can walk from the newly built Huangpu station to Honghe seaside garden. There are many restaurants nearby. After watching the fireworks in Hong Kong, you can have a good meal here.
11. Flying goose mountain
Feie mountain, also known as Feixiang mountain or Jiulong peak, is located in the north of Jiulong Bay. Here, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of Victoria port. It is an ideal place for fireworks viewing. Although it's a remote place, it's better to avoid the crowds watching fireworks and let you and your partner enjoy the fireworks in Victoria Harbour.
12. Kwun Tong Kai Tak cruise terminal
Kai Tak cruise terminal is located on the top floor of the terminal building, which is the largest air garden in Hong Kong - Kai Tak cruise terminal Park, with lawn and viewing platform for people to rest. It is an ideal place to enjoy fireworks. In addition to the Kai Tak cruise terminal Park, the nearby Kai Tak runway park is another option for watching fireworks.
