| This is how the water show at the Wanchai harbour should look like |
Wan Chai harbour will be transformed today and tomorrow (Oct 18 and 19) when it hosts Hong Kong’s first large-scale water show, as part of events commemorating the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
The spectacular display, which is organized by Blue Planet Action,
will take place at the Water Sports and Recreation Precinct in Wan Chai, from
4:00pm to 8:30pm.
The two-day event, called the Wan Chai Watershow
Extravaganza, will feature water fountains, light displays, and music.
It will be highlighted by a scene in which rockets
transform into dragons which will then journey through iconic scenes of China
and Hong Kong before changing into a phoenix.
Lining the harbour will be more than 10 stalls where
family-friendly activities and an opportunity to explore traditional Chinese crafts, will be made available to ticket-holders.
A stage to be set up at the site will feature a
variety of entertainment numbers, including performances by notable singers
like Karen Kong and Gabriel Hanson at the opening ceremony. The second day will
have the singing group Sing’s Power providing entertainment, among others.
To register for tickets, visit the Blue Planet
Action Facebook page or collect them at
the Wan Chai Home Affairs Enquiry Centre.
A total of 3,000 tickets will be distributed for
free by the organizer and government departments through online registration,
with an additional 600 tickets to be made available on-site
