A government-hosted Mid-Autumn Festival light show at a nullah in Hong Kong has sparked widespread online criticism, with revellers complaining of foul smells and poor execution.
Attendees posted their reviews on social media on Saturday after the opening night of the two-day “Yuen Long Flood Barrier and Nullah Improvement Scheme – Mid-Autumn Light Show” organised by the Drainage Services Department.
The event was billed as an inaugural initiative to transform the Yuen Long nullah into a large-scale art exhibition space, but many visitors took to platforms such as Threads to express their disappointment.
“A foul smell was coming out while I was watching the show,” an attendee posted on Threads, sharing videos showing light projections against a wide, open-air concrete storm drainage channel.
