A festive Dragon Boat drone show organised by Hong Kong Tourism Board to celebrate the Tuen Ng festival attracted the crowds to the harbourfront last night.
A fleet of 1,000 illuminated drones used the sky as their canvas and painted drums, dragon boat races, and other topical images, showcasing Hong Kong’s traditions.
There’s another drone show on Saturday 15 June, the first day of the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races.

The first Hong Kong Tourism Board drone show over Victoria Harbour took place on the 11 May. Thankfully the sky was clear and the visually impressive show was enjoyed by all.
A thousand drones hovered about 90 metres above Victoria Harbour forming different dynamic patterns depicting elements from the traditional festivals including the Cheung Chau Bun Festival and Buddha’s Birthday. The most spectacular and eye-catching were the 60-metre-high giant bun tower and the 30-metre “lucky bun”.
Two more drone shows have been announced for June to promote the Dragon Boat Festival:
10 June (Monday) – Public Holiday for Dragon Boat Festival
15 June (Saturday) – First day of “Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races”
