No trip for me is complete without spending time in Kowloon in the night – this for me means visiting Tsim Sha Tsui to watch a Symphony of Lights, and then heading off to Temple Street Night Market.
I arrived just before the show was about to begin – meaning that all of the seating spots had been taken, and standing spots were 2-3 deep already.
I therefore tried to video it… and promptly failed after people kept on getting in the way of the camera (besides – so you know how heavy a Canon 6D is with a 24-105 mounted on it?)
Giving up with that bright idea, I decided to watch he show instead … And shoot some pictures instead.
Wikipedia and Discover HongKong have a plentiful descriptions of the show – personally, I just like the pretty lights… And laserbeams.
No sharks with frickin’ laserbeams though.
Once the show is over, the crowd begins to dissipate, allowing you to get some nice shots of Hong Kong Island at night.
If you’ve been to Hong Kong many times, you’ll probably be rather sick of seeing this display nightly, but I like it, – the lights, lasers and Hong Kong doing what it does best… showing itself off.
Next: Lets do some haggling at Temple Street Night Market.
