Count Down To The New Year In Style In Party Capital Hong Kong

Regardless of time of the year, if there's one Asian city that knows how to pull

out all the stops for a world class celebration it's the island metropolis of Hong Kong. With its distinctly cosmopolitan atmosphere bordered by the stunning Victoria Harbor and a skyline pierced with skyscrapers Hong Kong is also the venue of choice for the party people of Asia come New Year's Eve. With a plethora of events and activities on offer the whole of Hong Kong comes alive at the brink of a new year to count down the last seconds of the passing year in a spectacle of light, music, dance, pyrotechnics and street celebrations.

The hot pick of all Hong Kong New Year's Eve countdowns is concentrated in the Times Square region where the signature countdown event takes place every year amid the cheers of literally thousands of street revellers. Taking cues from the New York Times Square celebrations the Hong Kong installment encompasses a variety of live music events and entertainment that keep the crowds pumped up till midnight rolls around.

The Victoria Harbour New Year's Eve celebrations are also a sought after event in the capital as it also offers the best view of the illuminated skyscrapers bursting at the seams with vibrant pyrotechnics. In fact the spectacle of fireworks and music is best viewed on board one of the harbour's all-inclusive F&B cruises that take guests along the harbour to witness the skyscrapers illuminated against the night sky. Those who are unable to get on the boats can also take in the sights from Tsim Sha Tsui's Avenue of Stars where the views are no less captivating.

Serious party animals on the other hand can head down to Lan Kwai Fong which is literally packed with street revellers enjoying the all-inclusive drinks and buffet deals on offer in the region. Ideal for groups and bar hoppers, the chic pubs down the streets of Lan Kwai Fong are perfect party venues on the 31st of December while other high profile parties take centre stage at Aqua, Drop, Dragon-I and at selected venues in the Tsim Sha Tsui district.

Those who wish to experience the New Year without the maddening crowds can head down to any one of the city's five star hotels that offer unhindered views of the celebrations from their rooftops. Special beverage prices and exquisite fine dining options are also on offer at these high-end establishments come New Year's Eve.

Famed as a luxury hotel in Hong Kong which offers exceptional dining experiences, The Langham Hong Kong is the preferred rest of seasoned travellers to the island nation. Home to the culinary powerhouse known as L'Eclipse, this popular Hong Kong restaurant at the Langham is renowned for its signature Asian, Chinese and Western dishes.
