    The Tourism Commission announced today (February 15) that "A Symphony of Lights" would be enhanced with pyrotechnics displays on Victoria Harbour on February 20 and 21 (Tuesday and Wednesday) to further enhance the festive celebration programme during the Chinese New Year period.

     The two newly-designed pyrotechnics displays will be staged on the harbour off the Avenue of Stars and Hong Kong Museum of Art.  The best vantage points for viewing "A Symphony of Lights" include the promenade at Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai, as well as Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront from the Avenue of Stars to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.  The soundtrack of the show will be broadcast in Putonghua on February 20 (Tuesday) and English on February 21 (Wednesday).

     Spectators may also listen to the synchronised soundtrack via radio by tuning in to FM 103.4 MHz (English), FM 106.8 MHz (Cantonese) or FM 107.9 MHz (Putonghua); or via their mobile phones by dialing 3566 5665 (English) or 3566 5668 (Putonghua).

     "A Symphony of Lights" has been awarded the world's "Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show" by Guinness World Records. This nightly spectacle combines interactive lights of 33 key buildings on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon with musical effects to showcase the vibrancy and glamorous night vista of Victoria Harbour.
