3 4 2 More than a million people make their way to Sydney, Australia to experience a firework spectacular every year. And lucky for those of us who like options, there are a number of vantage points to view the illuminated skies. Various events occur throughout the day, leaving you with countless opportunities to end the year right. Some events are an aerial and water display, and the Harbour of Lights Parade where the Sydney Harbour is illuminated by decorated ships soaring across the water. One of the best vantage points is at the Cahill Expressway, above Circular Quay. The 12-minute firework display features a massive range of pyrotechnic effects. The remarkable firework show can be seen from any of Hong Kong's world-class rooftop bars. If you're looking to end the year on a high note, the highest bar with one of the greatest views is Ozone, located on the 118th floor of The Ritz-Carlton. Among the many celebration options, the NYE Harbour Cruise is said to be the most exclusive celebration of the year. Board the 70-foot cruiser for dinner and drinks while enjoying the night sky until the midnight countdown. Hogmanay is a three-day New Year's celebration offering a multitude of events for all ages. There are three separate NYE happenings to choose from including, Candlelit Concert featuring an array of young soloists, Concert in the Gardens featuring Rag'n'Bone Man and one of the best firework displays, and the Street Party, the ultimate outdoor get- together featuring various forms of entertainment and spectacular views of the fireworks.
