Hong Kong Light Festival

Last summer I remember visiting Hong Kong which displays every night the largest light show in the world using the entire city as a performance piece. All the buildings participating compete for attention as they’re building flashes their lights and logos. I was very impressed by the coordination of all the buildings to be able to compose a light show of that scale. Besides the impressive scale and wonder of the programming involved, I also appreciated the beauty of the entire piece as a whole. With lights in every direction, you get a feeling of the entire city being alive as one living thing. When the lights shoot out of the city, it hits the roof of the clouds above the city caused by heavy industrialization. Even so, it’s a very beautiful sight. Although the light show is always more spectacular in person especially on special dates where they have added pyrotechnics and fireworks added, this video displays wonderfully the Hong Kong light show from outside and inside the city which is one of the biggest attractions to the city.
