The controversial project's setback after public criticism A decision has been made following a series of criticisms from both local residents and authorities. Authorities have concluded that it was unnecessary to approve the original project, based on an analysis of a lighter version of the attraction. This change led to a reduction in the number of installed lights from 10 to 7, reducing also the number of lights from 52 to 24.

In addition, some lighting devices have been removed, and the duration of the display has been reduced until February next year.

The document sent to the central and Western authorities and published on the South China Morning Post specifies that the project will not be initiated "now". The authority declared that the Tourism Office had worked on other events and could use the same equipment for other occasions as well. Previously, the Tourism Office proposed small lights for just a few points along the main road near Lugard Road and Harlech Road, with a light design very lightweight and expected to be activated only between 7 and 10 PM over a period of 12 months. Local authorities and some local authorities consulted the Central and Western Committee from May and wrote letters to residents throughout June.

May and September, explaining possible project effects. Some members of the local community and local authorities have visited Mount Lebanon for further feedback on the project. This project was part of a new experiment promised to celebrate WinterFest Festival, New Year's Eve countdown, and other thematic options, but criticisms from the local population and foresters caused a negative reaction. Documentation has highlighted that alternative occasions offered special experiences, including the WinterFest Festival, New Year's Eve countdown, and other thematic options.
