Organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the "A Symphony of Lights" show has attracted over 2.3 million spectators over the years. This new edition of the light show runs from August 11 to September 2, featuring a variety of fun elements that engage the senses of every visitor in the open space of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, delivering a completely different light performance experience.

The light show centers around a giant dragon, which embarks on a wild and fantastical journey with its best friend, the Year of the Rooster mascot, through the heart of Hong Kong to enjoy the city’s unique culture. They will encounter numerous colorful animated characters, including pineapple buns, egg waffles, and dim sum.

The characters pop off the screen as LED sculptures and giant inflatable mascots, interacting with the audience. Enhanced with effects such as smoke, soap bubbles, and dynamic lasers, the show further enriches the sensory experience, showcasing a vibrant and energetic side. Visitors can also try an interactive game projected on the exterior wall of the Clock Tower during the performance, racing to “awaken” the “dragon” atop the tower.
