I assume they are set off by the residents, right?

[vivierc]

that's correct. Now everybody is allowed to buy and set them off in the streets. We also did it from our 26th floor window :P

Nothing beats the midnight firework in Beijing on Chinese New Year. I miss it so much!

Its crap wheres all the marches etc, Chinese New Year is better in the uk then in China.Fireworks yes, but no real organisation or mass parties.The Mardis Gras in Rio it is not.Not even the water festival in SE Asia its shite if your not Chinese.
