See the New Year in with a bang!
None of these parties take your fancy? Well, fireworks and Hong Kong go hand in hand, so you’d be mad to miss out on catching a glimpse of the fiery action of the 2012 New Year Countdown 8-minute long fireworks display! This year is the first time where fireworks will be launched from both sea and land, ending in a dramatic display over the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre. Arrive early to avoid the crowds and secure your prime position to be illuminated – check out a few of our fave (free!) spots to see the fireworks here.

When: 31 December, midnight (show lasts for 8 minutes)
Where: Hong Kong Harbour
How much: It’s free!

P.S. Don’t forget the New Year’s Eve Countdown Party at the Regal Airport Hotel that we told you about last week – check out all the details here!
