On New years eve we walked up to the park to watch the fireworks being set off. Hunan is the Chinese capital for fireworks so you can imagine the display!! Hundreds of families gathered and brought thousands of fireworks some of them in boxes that were up to our waist... it was an immense show and very loud!
We left about 10.30 pm got home, thawed out and went up onto the roof to watch the midnight display... If you can imagine the biggest, organised display you have ever seen and times it by 20 displays being set off at once, you may come close!!!!!!!
The Chinese sure know how to celebrate the new year and I am so pleased we could be here to share it with them. It will certainly be a memory we will cherish :)
