Book A Junk Party

For a private party that’s all inclusive with meals and free flow alcohol for the parents and juice for the kids, your safe bet is to book a private night charter. Most junks will operate through the night and take you close to watch the fireworks light up the harbour. 

See our Hong Kong junk boat guide for more information.

Watch The Fireworks!

Matching last year’s extravaganza, Hong Kong will again transform the night sky over Victoria Harbour with a 12-minute fireworks show. We’re looking forward to this year’s theme of “The Symphony of Happiness”, featuring various forms of nature through dazzling effects. There will be pre-show lighting up the harbour every 15 minutes from 11pm on Tuesday, 31 December 2024.
