Chinese Fireworks - New Year Celebration

Firecrackers - China

Lunar New Year Eve is the craziest night in China. The start of the Spring Festival could sound like the trumpets of armageddon to foreigners. Any kind of firecracker or pyrotechnic is used for anyone in every corner all around the country. The government allows everything, except long range missiles -I'm exaggerating here-, but considering you have 1,500 billions of partygoers, many of them heavily intoxicated with baijiu, in cities like Beijing where I recorded this, 2 hours before the midnight and then during the incredible loud first minutes of the new year -this 2017, the celebrations began on January 27- you are compelled to remember who were the inventors of the gunpowder and the firecrackers. Recorded with a ZOOM H2, I edited 8:29 minutes of explosions; in this segment, you will hear far away aerial bombs and very close salutes.
