The 12-minute fireworks show began at midnight, featuring several new elements never seen before in Hong Kong. Inspired by the five natural elements in Chinese culture—fire, earth, wood, water and metal—the spectacle included a segment in the metal section, “The Propitious Clouds,” which showcased rainbow-coloured smoke and silver fireworks, marking a city first.

Artists perform at countdown

The music and dance show on the viewing deck featured local boy band Mirror, Cantopop girl group Collar and Canadian pop duo Crash Adams. These artists also appeared at the countdown event. Mirror, a 12-man band, rose to fame during the pandemic after winning ViuTV’s Good Night Show – King Maker. Collar gained popularity for their catchy songs and energetic performances. Crash Adams, known for their 11 million YouTube followers, had earlier performed in Hong Kong at events like the AIA Carnival and YouTube Music Night.

The fireworks were visible from prime spots including the West Kowloon Cultural District and Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, with live broadcasts available on social media and TV. Weather conditions were cool and dry, transitioning to cloudy overnight.
