Hong Kong Countdown 2022: Light Art Extravaganza At Victoria Harbour

Hong Kong Countdown 2022 will involve a dazzling light art extravaganza, featuring radiant lights along the entire Victoria Harbour waterfront, the city’s flagship Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and the New Year countdown lights on the recently opened M+.

Starting on New Year’s Eve, the 65.8-metre-tall LED facade of M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture, will showcase a sweeping, high-contrast visual tale created by talented local digital artists as a homage to the city’s various landmarks, neighbourhoods, and vibrant arts and culture scene. It will be transformed into a countdown clock, which will travel across the rich cityscape of Hong Kong during the final minute of 2021, before eventually splashing the numerals “2022” and New Year’s greetings across its screen as the clock strikes midnight.

Beneath the bright lights of the prominent skyscrapers ringing in the New Year along Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, the city’s flagship orchestra and winner of the Gramophone Orchestra of the Year award in 2019, will perform energetic, jubilant music for a global audience in an outdoor concert in the West Kowloon Cultural District as Hong Kong celebrates the New Year.

The Hong Kong Countdown 2022 Celebrations can be viewed live on HKTB’s YouTube channel. Besides the dazzling lights extravaganza, viewers in Singapore can also catch the live telecast of an outdoor countdown concert at West Kowloon Cultural District via @DiscoverHongKong Facebook Page and Jia Le (Singtel TV Channel 502) from 10pm onwards.
