Tens of thousands of spectators descended on the Hong Kong waterfront for a National Day-themed drone show on Saturday evening, with visitors and locals alike expressing excitement.
“Galloping Horses in the Sky” was the theme of the 15-minute drone show that started at 8pm over Victoria Harbour, drawing locals and tourists undeterred by heavy rain earlier in the day.
Thousands had already gathered in Wan Chai an hour ahead of the start, with tourists saying they had decided to come early to snag a prime viewing spot.
“The lights around Victoria Harbour are already beautiful, the drones will enhance the experience,” said a Guangzhou visitor who identified herself as Xia.
The housewife was in Hong Kong for the weekend with her husband and son.
