I’ve tried to describe to people what Chinese New Year’s fireworks are like. It’s almost impossible to describe. However, this video which I took near midnight last night captures the essence of it. Note that this just happened to be the street I was driving down….nothing special about it. Multiply this by every street in Beijing and that should give you a sense of the static-like, never-ending, crackling hum in the air. If fireworks really chase off bad spirits, then I guarantee that there won’t be any descending anywhere near Beijing.
