Title: The Best Symphony of Lights on Youtube - Hong Kong May 2008
Added: May 27, 2008
Author: NikTheCat
Duration: 10:58
Description:
Forty Four buildings in Hong Kong put on a light and sound show every night at 8 P.M. The show consists of colored lights on the outsides of buildings, lasers, spotlights, and fireworks (on special holidays), all synchronized to music. The buildings located on both sides of Victoria Harbour span a distance of 6.5 Km or 4 miles, so there is no one place to see all the buildings at the same time. The best locations for viewing the show are: Kowloon side - upper deck platform between Star Ferry and the Avenue of the Stars, or Island Side - from the waterfront at the Convention Center. The music for the show is played publicly at the above two locations, and on the radio at 103.4 and 106.8 FM. This multiple computer controlled show is 13 min 40 sec long, so this shorter Youtube version has had the building introductions removed, and a couple other segments cut short to make it fit. You've seen the TSO house at christmas; this show is on a much larger scale with more I/O controllers per building than the TSO house. It is nearly one mile across the harbour. This show uses 17 nights of the 55 nights of tripod mounted filming I have done so far. (They added a bunch of new buildings last summer so I had to start filming it all over again.) This show was filmed as late as May 2008. I have been filming this show for nearly three years in order to put up the best show that I can. If you come to Hong Kong for the 2008 Equestrian Olympic events, be sure to catch this amazing show. This is one of the things that makes Hong Kong an outstanding city.

Feb 22, 2010 - HK is near the equator. There is no much change to the length of the day there. It gets dark around 7:30 in the summer.

Aug 11, 2011 - It's down to 20 buildings participating now. I don't know what alternate universe you all went to where Hong Kong was clean and filled with friendly people, but I wish I could have gone to that one.
Matthew Kavanagh Says:
May 24, 2012 - I've been to HK twice before and found the people to be extremely helpful and accomodating. And the city was most of the time spotless.Sounds like you had a bad trip, which is unforunate as i doubt it happens often
MrGalt Says:
May 24, 2012 - I think we ended up in a lot of areas that were under construction too. Clerks and public servants were great, but my fellow customers and travelers certainly were not. Also, I had been living in Japan for three years before going to Hong Kong so my conflict-management skills had really atrophied. I'd definitely visit or live in Hong Kong any time.

Nov 29, 2009 - good job! This video is the best work I have ever seen! Thanks for uploading, I am gonna introduce this to my foreign friends. P.S. I didn't know they do fireworks every night? and Can you please upload a snapshot of the Hong Kong Island side of the last few seconds of the video? That is amazing and a beautiful picture! Thanks!
