The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) hosted the New Year Countdown at the Chater Road Pedestrian Precinct in Central for the first time. The event featured a mix of live music and a light show, bringing locals, visitors and global audiences together to welcome 2026.
Air Supply and local artists Jay Fung and Cloud Wang performed to entertain the large crowds.
A themed “New Hopes, New Beginnings” three-minute light show was staged on the façades of eight buildings featuring giant countdown clocks and dazzling light patterns to welcome the New Year.
If we’re being honest, the event was kinda pathetic compared to New Year’s Eve countdowns across the world. An oppourtunity to promote Hong Kong to the world, while entertaining HongKongers, sadly wasted.

A packed Star Hall was in the mood for love as Air Supply returned to Hong Kong on the 10 December. The duo, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock have been writing and singing, predominantly about love, since 1975. While they may have a few grey hairs – their songs are, and will remain, ageless.
