Symphony Of Lights

The Symphony of Lights is the worlds largest permanent light and sound show and features 44 buildings that line both sides of the Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong.

This orchestration of music combined with a dazzling light show takes place everyday at 8:00 PM provided the weather is clear. This audio visual extravaganza lasts around 14 minutes and consists of 5 different scenes.

The first scene is called Awakening and consists of brief flashes of laser light that builds up in to a nuclease of light that begins to illuminate the participating buildings one by one and stands as a symbol of Hong Kongs gradual growth over the years.

Eventually the show moves on to the second scene known as Energy. This scene involves a display of rising colour patterns as well as a sweeping of lasers and search lights that dazzle the night sky of Hong Kong and symbolize the vibrant heart and energy of Hong Kong.

The third scene is known as Heritage and involves the traditional colours of Hong Kong Red and Gold which are displayed on the participating buildings while traditional Chinese orchestral music is played. This serves to represent the rich history of culture and tradition of Hong Kong.

Partnership is the fourth scene of the show and features beams of light that reach across the bay to form a symbolic connection with the other side. This symbolism serves to show the connection between both sides that unite together to form a powerful economic bond and a sign of strength.

The show comes to a colossal finish with the final act entitled Celebration. This act involves a powerful and rhythmic display of light that moves in a lively swirling and kaleidoscopic motion. This flurrying of movement of beautiful lights dances across the harbour and serves to symbolize the continuing bond between both sides and the even brighter future that is in store for Hong Kong.

Visitors to the city of Hong Kong should definitely not miss out on this lightshow extravaganza and staying in a Kowloon hotel that is located near the bay will provide an ideal opportunity for witnessing this dazzling light show. Langham Hotel in Hong Kong is located near the harbour and its guests will not only have convenient access to this spectacular show but also enjoy a comfortable stay.

Eat And Drink In Rome

Attention: the most fancy places are usually tourist traps. We suggest to get lost in the narrow streets away form the big crowded ones. You should not pay more then 2 euros for a delicious crusty walking pizza

If saving is your travelling philosophy you can also drink your water from the public fountains that are spread all over.

And after pizza?? You need to end with a fantastic ice cream!

For an excellent one try Giolittis Via Uffici del Vicario 40 ph: 06 6991243; www.giolitti.it that since 1900 has been serving savoury ice creams behind all expectations. Its not in every guide… only Romans know!! Basically till now you should have spent not more then 5 euros!!! Quite good news for backpackers or also families with children travelling on a budget!! Right??

But the best tips are the following: dinner out in Rome!!

The San Lorenzo and Trastevere neighbourhoods are both renowned for reasonably priced RomanStyle cooking.

Very useful! We suggest you chose your BandB according to the location and if you get your accommodation in Trastevere be sure you will be in the most traditional buzzing and authentic area of Rome!

There are very few things Romans will line up for. One of these is da Baffetto near Piazza Navona more exactly in Via del Governo Vecchio14;ph. 066861617. After 9 pm prepare to wait quite a lot because they do not take reservations but pizza is fabulous!!
