The new Ocean Terminal of Hong Kong boasts 270-degree views across Victoria Harbour, the new Ocean Terminal extension offers various restaurants and public viewing platforms with panoramic views of the harbor. The restaurants offer al fresco dining and a globe-spanning range of cuisines as well as vistas to die for, not to mention the rooftop observatory deck. HEXA on the ground floor has a huge lawn - a perfect place for firework views. This is still a bit of a secret - so book up early if you want to sit outside at one of the restaurants or go early for public viewing.

Along with this amazing view comes an enormous crowd! Arrive early to stake out your space as the elbows will likely start flying early. Tickets required. Another option at Harbour City is to grab an al fresco table at BLT Steak for sweeping panoramic Hong Kong skyline views. Book early!

There is no doubt that watching the fireworks from the deck of a boat in the Fragrant Harbour is the way to go! Organize a private junk boat with Aqua Luna or Saffron Cruises to view the fireworks in the center of the action. No time to organize a junk? Check-in with tour agents offering special cruises or click here to view the Little Steps Guide to Junks in Hong Kong.
There are several extraordinary venues at IFC to take in the fireworks. Some of the best views are free! The public pier connecting IFC to the Central Ferry Pier is a top spot. However, it is always super crowded. Instead, stock up on wine for the adults and snacks for the kids at City Super. Then ride the escalator to the rooftop for one of the most memorable picnics of their little lives.
