All day and all night tthere were fireworks going off and we had a great display from our 7th floor hotel room.
Lots of shops stocked gift baskets of birds' nest soup ingredients.Everything was closed and there was no one on the streets late afternoon and early evening as they met their families for 'reunion dinner'. It was a quiet affair for us and we never got to find the dragons or lions dancing although we hunted high and low.
