Welcome to the Year of the Dragon

January 25th, 2012 · 2 Comments · 2012

Welcoming the Dragon was not as noisy an affair as other years as the government had done a crackdown on where the fireworks were allowed to be set off. Actually, all that meant was that the incredible fireworks display did not start early and actually did not spread completely across the entire city as it did last year but the closer we got to midnight the excitement really began. The video I took is quite long and was right during the midnight time. All of the video is of fireworks that are exploding right on the street in front of me and the houses right across the street. I could feel the heat and as I took the video. I am bless to have an amazing 180 degree view of the city from my window. By the way, the temperature was -10 degrees celsius and I was freezing as I wasn’t wearing any gloves. Enjoy. Xin Nian Kuai Le.

    Hi Donna, How did you class like the video? We are still in the New Year’s Celebration here in China. It lasts for 15 days. Monday night is the Lantern Festival which marks the official end to the celebration. It will be full of loud noise and bright skies marked by little sleep. :)
