Large crowds gathered along the waterfront promenade at the West Kowloon Cultural District on Tuesday to witness a breathtaking pyrotechnics show in honor of Christmas Eve. The 10-minute “Winter Harbourfront Pyrotechnics” display, set to run for three consecutive nights from December 24 to 26, left spectators in awe.
Residents and Tourists Delighted by the Spectacle
Eunice, a first-time Christmas Eve celebrator in Hong Kong from Macau, expressed her joy at experiencing the pyrotechnic show for the first time. She described the event as a delightful surprise that added to the festive cheer of the season. Eunice shared, “I was definitely impressed. It’s just crazy to me. It’s my first time witnessing an experience like this and I think it’s great. I really like the excitement.”
She also recounted a heartwarming moment involving a family with a young baby in the audience. The baby’s joyful reactions to the fireworks brought a smile to Eunice’s face, making her day trip to Hong Kong even more memorable.
