We don't get to see fireworks everyday, but if we do, it must be some major events with big celebrations going on. Without a doubt, the fireworks are the most anticipated element that brings any celebrations to a climax always. This year, we decided to hang out at the River Hongbao festival to celebrate the Chinese New Year with some spectacular fireworks display.
