National Day fireworks display to be held at 9pm on October 1 (with photos)
***************************************************************************
A total of 23 888 firing shells will be discharged in the display from three barges in a 23-minute extravaganza. The event is co-ordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau and sponsored by the Hong Kong Members of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Hainan Province Municipal Committee Fraternity.
The fireworks display will consist of eight scenes. Highlights will include the fourth scene, "Kung Fu", in which fireworks will move through the air like the actions of kung fu, and the seventh scene, "Sea Song", showcasing jellyfish and marine organisms. The fireworks display will reach its climax in the last scene, "Lower Reaches of Yellow River", with fast and rhythmic firing of shells.
The display can be seen from many vantage points on both sides of the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui, the Mid-levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and the Hung Hom Bypass.
To make the fireworks display even more enjoyable, viewers are invited to tune to Radio Television Hong Kong Radio 4 (FM 97.6 to 98.9) for synchronised music.
People are urged to help keep public areas clean and to show respect for public property. They are also urged to show consideration in order to make the event a safe one.
