1st July Fireworks in Hong Kong

The 1st of July will see official celebrations in Hong Kong to mark the catchy-titled “Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day”.

This is to commemorate the official handing over of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the UK to the Peoples Republic of China. This was officially done in 1997 and Hong Kong now enjoys its 13th year as an administrative region under the Peoples Republic.

The 1st of July 2010 will be no different and will have a spectacular state organised fireworks display and the customary political type rallies. A great day all around.

If you are lucky enough to be in Hong Kong on the first of July, enjoy the show and let us know what you think of the fireworks.
