The best locations to watch Hong Kong fireworks
There are many different options to watch the fireworks display in the enjoyable way. The unbeatable option is to watch from the close vicinity of (along) Victoria Harbour on both sides and to watch on the harbour tours, which give you the best of the sound and visual effects.
Or watching from higher positions, such as the Victoria Peak and sky100 Observation deck, with an overview of the complete span of fireworks display. If you don’t like too much crowds, consider watching from the top-notch rooftop bars and restaurants or booking a hotel room with fantastic harbour view.
No matter which one you decide in the end, remember to prepare early in advance.
The fireworks show is one of the most anticipated events for Chinese New Year. Hundreds of thousands of people will gather along Victoria Harbour (especially those free spots). In order to get a good viewing location, you may have to get there two or three hours ahead of time.
Waiting for hours is not the most devastated part. Imagine being squeezed by thousands of people in the crowds and you cannot get out for food, drink or toilets for hours. What’s more? After the fireworks show, the streets will be full of people that it may take another hour or longer to get out or to the nearest public transportation.
If you would like to enjoy a worry-free expeirene for watching fireworks, better to book a harbour tour ticket, watching from Star Ferry Concourse or reserve a seat in the harbour-view restaurants and bars.
Crowds watching fireworks in Hong Kong
1. Top options – Along Victoria Harbour waterfront on both sides (close vicinity, free spots)

TLDR: Conclusion and easy solution – Which one is the best location of all options?
All the above locations are the best selections in Hong Kong for watching fireworks display. Which one you should choose depends on your personal preferences.
-
If you would like to get the front-row view and watch for free, then staying close to Victoria Harbour waterfront between Central to Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island, or along Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. The best of all should be Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Tamar Park and Golden Bauhinia Square. At these locations you can maximize not only the visual impact when the fireworks exploding over your head, but also enjoy with the synchronized music.
Cons: However, be aware that these are the most popular spots, which means these are also the most crowded areas. In order to get a good spot, you need to get there hours ahead of the show.
-
If you love to enjoy it on Victoria Harbour with less crowds and no worries, booking a special fireworks harbour tour is a fantastic option. No more pressure on getting a good spot. Secure the front seat in advance and enjoy the fireworks leisurely.
Remember there are only a few boat tour operators offering fireworks harbour tour. Tickets are sold out quickly. Act fast.
Alternatively, booking the dinner offer from waterfront restaurants and hotels is another good option to avoid crowds.
-
If you prefer more private and relaxed environment to enjoy fireworks, then check out the best hotels with great fireworks views. Check out the fireworks schedule around the year and whether it will be during your stay in Hong Kong. Watching from hotel room is one-of-a-kind memory.

If you love to watch the fireworks coupled with Hong Kong’s amazing night city overviews, then consider to watch from higher locations, such as the Peak, sky100, rooftop bars and restaurants as well as Kowloon Peak. These locations are also great for photography.
Cons: The Victoria Peak and Kowloon Peak are several hundred meters above sea level. The clearance is very weather-dependent. Check the weather before heading to those places.
