Fireworks in Shanghai

It is awesome. Words just can't describe the atmosphere in this city on New Year's Eve. Starting around 11:30pm to 1am, one can see numerous fireballs shooting up from various parts of the cities and exploding in the key. The scale is simply unimaginable. This year is the first year I see fireworks as large as the "official organized" ones in HK or SF, and I wonder where people get those. Fireworks and crackers was actually officially banned for a couple of years due to safety concern, but the ban was lifted several years ago. Since then every year is at a new level. No doubt that fireworks in a city reflects the economic growth of the previous year.
