National Day fireworks display to be held at 9pm on October 1 (with photo)
************************************************************

     The National Day fireworks display will light up Victoria Harbour on Thursday night (October 1) to celebrate the 66th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Starting at 9pm, 23,888 firing shells will be discharged in the 23-minute display.

     The fireworks display will consist of nine scenes with different themes. The highlights will be the bauhinia pattern in scene two, the five rings of the Winter Olympics in scene four and the heart shape and "LOL" wording in scene eight. The fireworks display will reach its climax in the last scene with fast and rhythmic firing of shells in the final 28 seconds.

     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 Four (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.
