Thousands of people gathered along Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront and Lan Kwai Fong entertainment district on December 31, 2022 to welcome the new year. The annual fireworks display has not returned for a 4th year in a row due to protests in 2019 and Covid restrictions in the following years. However, crowds could watch a special countdown light show along the city’s Victoria Harbour.
The city has recently dropped most of its pandemic measures, including mandatory testing for inbound travellers, the need to show a vaccine pass to enter some venues and restrictions on the size of public gatherings. The latest round of coronavirus rule easing came into force on December 29. But as 2023 arrives, a mask mandate will remain in place for all public spaces.
