Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour will be lit up with images of temples, flower boards, dancing lions and bun towers this weekend as part of the celebrations for Buddha’s Birthday and the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. It will be the second waterfront show hosted by city authorities in the hope of attracting visitors.
The city’s Tourism Board said on Tuesday that it would offer free ice cream to the public between 6pm and 8pm at Wan Chai pier as part of the celebrations.
A drone show with a festive theme is set to take place at 8pm on Saturday, the board said. A thousand drones will create images, such as a colourful flower board with waving flags and a 60-metre-tall bun tower.
Both are important images in the annual week-long Cheung Chau Bun Festival, which takes place on the namesake outlying island to honour Pak Tai, a Taoist god of the sea.
