A Symphony of Lights : Victoria Harbor Night Cruise in Hong Kong...

For our final night in Hong Kong, we wanted to see the world's largest permanent light show from the water. This light show takes place on both sides of Victoria Harbor. Many of the buildings on both sides have lights on the outsides of the buildings that flash, change color, and dim according to the music. The best way to compare this is something similar to the Vegas Strip.

Here, we are facing the Kowloon side. The tall building on the left is still under construction, but when its completed in a couple years, it will become the tallest building in Hong Kong. If you want to know more, check our blog on the Big Bus Tour.

Pretty much the same as above minus Laura. Notice the U shaped building, lit up in white? I believe this is the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. They also use the outside of this building to project images and shapes during the light show... Its very nice!


Just some red junk floating in the water... too bad the boat didn't allow us to get any stable shots. We were lucky to get the ones in focus that you see here!


See, told you... blurry...


This is the Hong Kong Island side of the show.


The IFC building is sooooooooo tall, it actually is taller than the moon. Look for yourself!

One last shot of the Hong Kong Island side of the show... Oh, and one last thing to mention... If you go on this cruise it has an open bar! So, if you notice the photos getting progressively more in focus, it becuase the more you drink, the more you get into sync with the ship... Its a proven fact. Ask the captain who piloted the Exxon Valdez in Alaska...
