This year's anticipation! All for the Hot Air Balloon Festival!

🇭🇰 This year's anticipation! All for the Hot Air Balloon Festival! No need to go to Turkey 🇹🇷 anymore! Victoria Harbour will soon transform into a "Sky Park" ☁ this September. From September 4 to 7, 2025, Hong Kong's first International Hot Air Balloon Carnival (HABFest) will land in Central. 16 creative hot air balloons from around the world will light up Victoria Harbour. • Including the adorable 11-meter-tall "Hong Kong Panda Balloon", the Canadian Shooting Star Balloon, the Japanese Red Panda Balloon 🐼, and more. At dusk, the giant balloons will ascend, framed by the Ferris wheel and IFC. Every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece. • 🌇 A magical experience "floating" above Victoria Harbour. This time, you can personally board the basket for a "tethered flight" experience— the hot air balloon is secured by cables and rises up to 20 meters high, controlled by professional pilots, safe and dreamy. Once airborne, you can take in Hong Kong’s skyline and the sunset glow. Unimaginably romantic ✨ • 👈 Besides the photo-worthy balloons, 🎪 there are many super fun activities. 🌟 Inflatable Art Show (every evening at dusk): Watch the 20-meter balloon "come to life," from unfolding to standing upright, fully revealed. 🌟 Light Sculpture Concert (every night): The hot air balloons turn into glowing planets! Joey Yung, Leo Ku, and Hins Cheung take turns performing. The balloons change colors and twinkle with the music, bursting with romance. 🌟 Food Market: Local snacks + international food trucks. 🍡 Enjoy curry fish balls by the sea breeze—so chill. 🌟 Limited merchandise: Panda balloon collaboration souvenirs, handmade stalls. • Location: Central Waterfront Event Space 📆 Date: 2025.9.4-7 🏨 Accommodation: Smart travelers stay at Kai Tak Sports Park! Perfect for concerts, football events, city walks, and family outings, especially the Dorsett Kai Tak Hotel. Just 5 minutes to the main venue, the comfort is beyond words. Highly recommended for every friend visiting Hong Kong to try!
