Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade

This guide to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade traces how Hong Kong's nightly skyline light show came to be, starting with the tourism crisis the SARS outbreak left behind in early 2003. It follows the city's decision to answer that crisis with a spectacle, culminating in the show's launch across Victoria Harbour on the seventeenth of January 2004, and the string of buildings that joined in over the following year. Listen from the promenade railing as the eight o'clock show begins, facing the Hong Kong Island skyline across the water.
