I lived in [tag]Kunming[/tag] and the the closest thing to firework during [tag]Spring Festival[/tag] was a meagre bang.
I celebrated the coming of the [tag]Chinese[/tag] New Year in [tag]Chengdu[/tag] last year and there was something going on on the outskirts of the city.
This year I watched from behind the window and it was magnificent. The real fireworks I had envisioned before coming to [tag]China[/tag].
[tag]Shanghai[/tag] Fireworks rock.
(The pic is just a bad caption of what really went on, I know:)
