Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

It was chosen because accessibility with ease and avoidance of hundreds of thousands of spectators in the nearby waterfront areas. Those areas do give a better view if one goes earlier and finds a suitable spot. This is easier said than done. It was believed to be a good location at the Olympic Square , at the same line of sight of the source of the fire works’ shooting boats and clearings could be found if the bursting designs of the projections are high enough above the buildings or in between clearing of buildings. This assumption of height of the fireworks was misjudged on that night.overall, the full fireworks were not high enough. Fortunately , some complete designs of Fireworks could occasionally be seen with beautiful surroundings and a bright background. In particular, some façade of buildings reflected the designs ,so two images were seen at opposite locations.

I saw a free performance of ‘A Mid Summers Night Dream’ by the Hong Kong Shakespeare Performance Association at Olympic Square. It’s a great amphitheater and I thoroughly enjoyed the use of the space for the play!!
