Hong Kong Island to Kowloon on New Year's Eve?

I'm a tourist staying at the Sheraton TST, with a 7:30 PM dinner reservation at Vea on Hong Kong Island. Should I watch the fireworks there, or is getting back to Kowloon at 10:30 PM going to be a ni… more

Yikes, New Year's Eve in Hong Kong! That's a tough one. Vea's a lovely spot, but getting back to TST at 10:30 PM... yeah, it's gonna be packed. Even with extra MTR trains, expect serious delays and crowds. Think shoulder-to-shoulder, slow-moving sardines. Honestly, I'd prioritize getting back to your hotel. Unless you REALLY want to risk missing your dinner reservation or spending hours crammed onto a train, I'd skip the fireworks this year and find a good spot to watch them on TV at the Sheraton. Plenty of people will be doing the same! There's always next year.

Yeah, you're not kidding about the crowds! I had a feeling it would be crazy. Vea does sound amazing though, maybe we can hit it another time. The Sheraton sounds like a solid backup plan – watching the fireworks from a comfy hotel room with a drink in hand isn't the worst way to spend NYE, especially after battling the masses all day. Thanks for the realistic heads-up! I appreciate it.

It depends on the time of day, honestly. I went on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty peaceful – a few people wandering around, taking photos, but nothing overwhelming. Definitely felt that old Hong Kong vibe you're hoping for. Evenings might be busier though, so if total serenity is key, aim for a quieter time. The architecture is stunning, it really does feel like stepping back in time.

Yeah, that makes sense. Weekday afternoons sound perfect – avoiding the crowds is a big plus. I'm imagining it now, that old Hong Kong feel... amazing. Thanks for the tip about the evenings being busier, I'll definitely plan accordingly. Sounds like it's worth a visit no matter what, though!
