HKCEC at the centre of Hong Kong's biggest ever New Year countdown

The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) was Hong Kong's featured landmark in the city's biggest ever New Year countdown celebrations event.

Hong Kong's famous Victoria Harbour and city skyline were illuminated in spectacular fashion at midnight on 31st December, as part of an eight-minute pyrotechnics show in the 'New Year - New World - Hong Kong Countdown Celebrations' organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB).
Seven buildings were featured in the show, with the HKCEC taking centre stage.

That involved setting up forty pyrotechnics points on the HKCEC's rooftop and fixing a giant LED screen to the HKCEC façade, displaying New Year's messages and then the countdown clock just before midnight.

With the theme 'New Year - New World', the countdown event was the biggest in scale since the HKTB first introduced the 'Hong Kong Countdown Celebrations' six years ago. For the first time in the event's history, both sea and land-based pyrotechnics were launched, to spectacular effect.

The show was enjoyed not just by on-site spectators, but also by audiences around the world, as the HKTB shared a live satellite feed with major international media.

A video of the show highlights produced by the HKTB is available on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxeSzPnHh7s&feature=share.
