More fireworks anyone?
It took a while to get them uploaded, but for those who want to relive the magic, here are some videos of the fireworks during Chinese New Year’s Eve in Beijing. The first follows the skyline and shows dozens of fireworks displays going off around midnight. The oval structure to the right is Workers’ Stadium. For bargoers, this video basically sweeps from Gongti North (Vics, Mix), across the park (The Pavillion and Babyface et al are on the far side) to Yabao Lu (the so-called Russian zone). (Click picture for video)
The second video is “up close and personal”, with fireworks exploding about five meters in front of my apartment’s windows. The clip is a bit long, but then again, the fireworks are unrelenting, and it gives you an idea of the evening’s intensity. (Click picture for video)
Drink of choice that night: Taillan Armagnac and Taillan Cognac. Food of choice that night: vegetarian dumplings and microwave popcorn.
