Hong Kong's iconic Victoria Harbor was alive with energy on Tuesday night (Dec. 31), with the iconic skyline providing a breathtaking backdrop for a fireworks display that has become a beloved tradition in the city.

Before the midnight countdown, the atmosphere was electric with live performances from various singers on the observation deck.

The Chief Executive, John Lee, took the stage to open the fireworks display to the sound of the Hong Kong Police Band.

As the clock ticked down to midnight, a giant countdown clock illuminated the glass curtain wall of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and the screen flashed "2025," prompting cheers, hugs, and heartfelt wishes among the spectators.

Following the countdown, Hong Kong's 12-minute 1,300-meter-wide New Year's Eve fireworks display was staged, synchronized with a unique blend of electronic, Western classical, and Chinese music. The spectacle unfolded in vibrant chapters, symbolizing hope and prosperity for the upcoming year.

As the fireworks display burst into the night sky, the 380,000 spectators on both sides of the Victoria Harbour cheered!
