In 2010, the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government proposed the goal of promoting the internationalization of the city and building Changsha into a cultural city with international influence, and established the goal of building tourism into a strategic pillar industry. The Orange Island weekend fireworks display event is themed "Romance of Orange Island, Brilliant Star City", with "Liuyang Fireworks" as the brand and Orange Island as the carrier, showing the unique urban landscape of mountains, water, islands and cities to domestic and foreign tourists. Fireworks are set off at the Orange Island special display site every Saturday night, and appropriate adjustments will be made in case of major holidays or weather reasons. The display time is 20:00-20:20 in winter and spring, and 20:30-20:50 in summer and autumn. Each display lasts 20 minutes.

By Axun wants to see the world |

Changsha's fireworks show is well-known throughout the country, but it is a bit polluting, so now there are only 4 or 5 shows every year during major festivals. Each show usually lasts 20 minutes, and you can check the schedule online in advance.

[Viewing location] The best place is Du Fu Jiangge, which can be upstairs or downstairs, overlooking the river without any obstruction; of course, if you are willing to spend some money to take a cruise, you can experience it from a closer distance, but I am afraid that your neck will be sore; Yuelu Mountain is also an option, but the distance is a bit far, so you need a telescope; there are several houses behind the Jiangge, and if you can go to the roof, it is also very good to take pictures with the Jiangge as the foreground.

By Eagle |

You have to go early, otherwise there will be no good spots left. Just like the photo I took, there are trees blocking the front.

By Sand Night |

We arrived at Du Fu Jiang Pavilion at around 6 o'clock, but it was already crowded! The best place to watch the fireworks for free is right below Du Fu Jiang Pavilion and on the stairs on both sides. It costs 100 yuan to go up to Du Fu Jiang Pavilion to watch. The fireworks show starts at 20:30 in the evening and lasts for 20 minutes.

By Happy Moment |

You should choose the other side of the river so that the fireworks can be more colorful against the black background.

By 「 Helen🌻 」 |

We didn't get a good spot by the river, so our vision was limited. We couldn't see some low-altitude fireworks, and we couldn't take pictures of the reflection on the river. I suggest that those who want to watch the fireworks must find a good spot by the river in advance~~

Tips:

● The Orange Island fireworks will be set off on major holidays instead of every Saturday. The setting time is 20:30 in summer and 20:00 in winter. Please refer to the official notice for the specific time.

●The best viewing point for the fireworks is Du Fu Jiangge. Tickets are 100 yuan per person during the fireworks period. If you are poor like me, please grab a spot early~

By Lupine |

It was great! Even though I don't like crowds, I joined in the fun. Be sure to plan activities before and after the show in advance, as there are so many people! I suggest eating and shopping in Hisense Plaza, come out to watch the fireworks, and then continue shopping after the show.

By The mouse loves the cat |

If you are lucky enough to visit Changsha during the holidays, the fireworks show is a must-see.

The best place to watch the Orange Island fireworks show on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is at Du Fu Jiangge. It was my first time watching a large-scale fireworks show and it was very shocking.

I arrived at the riverside at 6:30 to reserve a seat. It was really tiring standing for two hours, but the fireworks were really beautiful.

By syvsjskjsm🌻 |

You must go early to grab a spot. We had plenty of time, but I sprained my ankle on the way, so we wasted time. When we got there, there were already so many people at the railings by the river, and we couldn't squeeze in at all. Later, someone climbed over the railings and we followed them to find the right place for the fireworks. Our location was not very good this time, and the fireworks were diagonally opposite. It would have been great if they were directly opposite. You can use the Jiuzhou Wharf in my photo as a reference, the right side of the house is closer to the fireworks. I didn't take many photos, but the scene was far more shocking than the pictures. With the night view of Changsha, it is really super beautiful and you must go and see it.

By Random Travels |

We were so lucky to catch the Party's Founding Day on July 1st. The fireworks show was amazing, but there were too many people.

By Dashun |

Since 2017, the fireworks in Orange Island will only be displayed on major holidays, such as New Year's Day, New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Party Founding Day, Army Founding Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day. The time is 8:30-80:50 in the evening, and each show lasts a total of 20 minutes. The best viewing point is Du Fu Jiangge, but you have to go early because there will be a lot of people. You can also take a cruise to the middle of the Xiangjiang River to watch. The cruise fee is 30 yuan per person. Haha, this is better than watching at Du Fu Jiangge.

By Wait wait wait wait |

Be sure to check the time before you go. I watched it with my classmates at Du Fu Jiangge. We were two good-for-nothings, and we kept exclaiming how beautiful it was. It was really shocking. In addition, there were really a lot of people, so go early to get a good seat.

By Qing Huan-Awakening |

If you come to Changsha and miss a grand fireworks show, it is undoubtedly a pity. Four years ago, it was a must-see event every Friday. Nowadays, it only kicks off on major festivals such as New Year's Day, National Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Each show has a theme, with various fireworks taking turns to appear, the plot drives the ups and downs, and with appropriate background music, a show can last nearly half an hour.

If you want to watch the fireworks show, although you can see it along the river, on the Orange Island Bridge, and even on the HUST campus on the other side of the river, the best viewing point is Du Fu Jiangge. Facing the center of the "stage", with background music in stereo, it is definitely a shocking audio-visual feast.

By Flowers Outdoor |

Fireworks are set off at the Orange Island fireworks display site every Saturday night. In case of major holidays or weather conditions, appropriate adjustments will be made. The time for setting off fireworks is from 20:00 to 20:20 in winter and spring, and from 20:30 to 20:50 in summer and autumn. Each setting off lasts 20 minutes. The scene was really shocking. I didn't do any research when I went there, and I didn't know there was a fireworks show here. As a result, fireworks started to be set off while I was walking on the nearby bridge. It was a super surprise!

By suikey |

There are only 9 shows every year. It was my first time to watch it during the Lantern Festival, so I had no experience in reserving seats. I went to Du Fu River Pavilion. The fireworks display point was right opposite the Du Fu River Pavilion. There were crowds of people there, and the trees along the river were tall and dense, which was not conducive to a long-distance view, so it was difficult to get a panoramic position.

People who want to watch it either come 2 hours in advance at 6 o'clock, or just stand across the road at the back to watch. The fireworks are still beautiful.

By Jason |

It was still there when I went there in 2011, I don't know if it's there now.

Musical fireworks is an artistic performance that organically combines the rhythm of fireworks with the melody and artistic conception of music. It is a highly artistic and ornamental fireworks performance. The types of fireworks are selected according to the pre-edited music, and the number, rhythm and combination of fireworks are arranged according to the rhythm of the music. The extremely appealing characteristics of music combined with the strong visual impact of fireworks create a perfect effect of fire and music, light and rhythm.

The one on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was the last one in 2017. I went to Du Fu Jiang Pavilion to explore the way at around 4pm. It was too early and the weather was bad, so I left early. When I came at 8pm, there were already so many people that Du Fu Jiang Pavilion could no longer accommodate them. I walked to both sides of the Jiang Pavilion and found a place with shorter trees to watch. It was not so cold to be squeezed in the crowd. The fireworks were beautiful, but the smoke was quite big. Comrades who use mobile phones to take pictures are recommended to use selfie sticks, otherwise it is very tiring to hold the phone all the time. It is also recommended to take a few photos. The effect of watching with the naked eye is great.

By Big Teeth Rabbit |

The foggy sky was lit up by colorful fireworks, and I felt a little romance in the chill. Being a stranger in a foreign land, but having someone to watch the fireworks with is extremely romantic.

By Wi-Fi Searching |

This is one of the must-see night views of Changsha during important holidays. The subway skipped stations at 6pm, and the Orange Island Bridge was only for exits but not for entrances. Citizens and tourists surrounded the riverside scenic area three times inside and three times outside early in the morning, waiting for the fireworks to start. Of course, it must be said that the fireworks show is unique, especially near Du Fu Jiangge to see the best performance.

By Walker |

I caught up with a fireworks show on National Day. It was already crowded before 7:30. It felt like all the people in Changsha came out to watch the fireworks... At this time, I made perfect use of my height advantage and used my phone to record the fireworks in the next moment ❤

By Beef and horse meat are the best |

There are too many people on holidays, so you need to arrive early to find a good seat and watch it live for the best audio-visual effect.

By Free traveler |

Fireworks are usually set off on Orange Island on Saturday nights or holidays. It is a good place to enjoy the fireworks show in the Xiangjiang Scenic Area.

By lavender chihiro ty |

The best place to watch the fireworks is Du Fu Jiang Pavilion opposite Orange Island. It is best to go there around 6 or 7 o'clock to reserve a spot.

By China-TravelNote users |

Where are the fireworks? I am waiting by the river.

By Stand on tiptoe |

It used to be every Saturday, but now it’s only six shows a year, including holidays.

By fayjing |

Every Saturday from May to October and major holidays, fireworks are set off at night at Orange Island in Changsha. This is also a major purpose of our trip. The fireworks in summer will not be set off until 8:30. We found a good seat on the steps by the river on the right side of Du Fu Jiangge at 6 o'clock and started a two-and-a-half-hour meditation. You can still find a good seat before 6:30, but after 7 o'clock, you can basically squeeze to the front. There are paid beach chairs by the river. Those who are not short of money can sit there, fifteen or twenty people. Otherwise, you can bring some cardboard and put it on the steps, which is better than a one-yuan newspaper. At 8:30, the fireworks bloomed on time. It was so gorgeous. It felt really great to be able to watch a large-scale fireworks show with the people you like~ The people of Changsha are so happy!

By Demacia |

Today is 5:20, I rushed from Wuhan to watch the fireworks, but it’s already 20:50 and there’s not even a spark. There are still a lot of people here, probably all here to enjoy the cool air!

I checked and found that it is only available on major holidays such as the Dragon Boat Festival! The next one is on the 30th of the Dragon Boat Festival, and then it will be the Party Founding Day and the Army Founding Day!

By Hu Hu ❤️Run |

The date has been changed on May 2 this year. I went there for half a day but it didn’t show up…

By Lydia Dada |

The two fireworks shows that impressed me the most were the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the National Day last year in Victoria Harbor. In comparison, the fireworks at Juzhou Island were more delicate and artistic. The design of the array and the shape of the flames, as well as the explosion of the last few seconds, made the crowd cheer enthusiastically. When the smoke fell, the Xiangjiang River gurgled, as if it had absorbed all the enthusiasm just now, and everything returned to calm.

By hjw0070 |

The effect of the mobile phone photo is really average, it is amazing to see it in person. It is the first time that fireworks are so close to me.

By A lonely man fishing on the river |

Fireworks at Orange Island, meet you on the weekend, happy Changsha

By Xingxia-Happy Star Travel |

The fireworks are quite large, it is recommended to find a good location early, otherwise you can't see them if you are in a bad location, and there are a lot of people. This is the tragedy of a bad location, it is completely blocked by the trees by the river.

By The world is beautiful because of you |

There are fireworks shows every Saturday night, but you have to go early to find a good spot. When we went there a little late, we didn't find a good spot as it was completely blocked by trees. The fireworks were beautiful and relatively large.

By YU meets Little Sheep |

It happened to be Saturday when I saw the fireworks show at Orange Island. Sitting by the river, there was no wind at all in August.

By Chestnut paste |

Go north of the Xiangjiang River to Orange Island, and you must see the fireworks in Changsha! There are fireworks every Saturday, from 20:00 to 20:20 in winter and spring, and from 20:30 to 20:50 in summer and autumn. Each display lasts 20 minutes.

By Alice has miracles |

I went to see it on New Year's Day. I don't have much experience (covering my face 😭). I suggest that if you go to watch the fireworks, you must choose a good location. Otherwise, you can only watch the sea of people. . . . .

By Large cat |

The fireworks lasted for 20 minutes. The main viewing location was near Du Fu Jiang Pavilion, on the bank of the Xiang River. There were too many people, so you must go early because there were so many people.

By China-TravelNote users |

I went to Changsha for a 2-day, 1-night trip on New Year's Day 2017, and was lucky enough to see this large-scale fireworks✨. The fireworks were set off on time at 8:30, and when I arrived at Du Fu Jiang Pavilion at 7:00, many people were already waiting. Because I had read in the guide that Du Fu Jiang Pavilion was the best place to watch. After arriving at 7:00, I went to the toilet in the square next door. When I came back, it was already 8:00, and I couldn't squeeze into the position by the river. I could only go to the position on the 3rd and 3rd floor. But because the fireworks were rising, I could see it very clearly😊. After the fireworks ended at 8:50, I found that the road was closed and vehicles were not allowed to pass. The main road was full of pedestrians. In the end, I had to find a motorcycle to fly to the train station to catch the train. The motorcycle driver turned left and right along the way, which scared my young heart. The fare was 30 yuan for 2 people.

By Little Cat |

There are usually fireworks displays every Saturday. The best place to watch them is Du Fu Jiangge.

Note️: From 18:00 on the night of the fireworks display until the end of operation, Changsha Metro Line 2 will not stop at Juzizhou Station and Xiangjiang Middle Road.

Since the fireworks show is from 20:30 to 21:00 in the evening, many people will take their food and wait in a good position along the river.

Tips: You can buy a newspaper in advance to make it easier to sit underground and watch. The newspaper along the river is one yuan a piece.

The fireworks were dazzling and everyone was staring at them.

But please be careful not to get hurt when you leave. You must leave early! Leave early! Leave early! I say this three times because it is important!!!

I watched it from the far left position near Du Fu River Pavilion. The riverside was full of people, but there was only one small staircase to the road. After the fireworks show, people rushed up from all directions just to squeeze the stairs to the road.

Although I left 6 minutes earlier, it still took me 10 minutes to get to the road.

After I climbed up and looked down, I was shocked. I was glad I left early, otherwise it would take at least an hour to get up the stairs with so many people, and I would definitely get hurt.

By Deep and Quiet |

It's really shocking! It's absolutely beyond imagination. You must come to Changsha from May to October to watch the Orange Island fireworks. Great!

By Rotating in Prague Square |

You must go to see it when you go to Changsha, it's super beautiful, sit by the river, watch the gorgeous fireworks, bloom and disappear in an instant~~~ Local residents put two or three rows of chairs along the river for everyone, the good seats will be occupied early, you must go early to grab a seat, the chairs are definitely not free, I think it's 15 yuan each, the second and third rows of chairs have a bad view, don't buy them. If two people go, you can buy a seat in the first row, and then let one person sit on the ground in front of the chair. Sitting on the ground has a better view than sitting on a chair, hahaha

By Mr. Xiaoming |

I went to college in Changsha, which happened to be located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain opposite Orange Island. Every Saturday, I could see the spectacular Orange Island fireworks with different themes for more than 30 minutes. Although college life will eventually pass, it will become a memory of my visit to this city, and remain in my heart, dreams and youth!

By Qiu Chang |

I went to reserve a seat at 5:30, and thanks to the excellent position, I saw a beautiful and stunning fireworks display. However, there was no music, the security horns were blaring loudly, there were a lot of people, and it was not convenient to leave after the fireworks ended.

By Guo Zheteng |

The staff said that they usually sell tickets to groups, and if you are an individual, you need to top up your card with 2,000 yuan to buy a seat. But after a while, they asked me to see if there is a seat for individual travelers that I can squeeze in.

I was so lucky! There were indeed some seats available, some for 100 and some for 200. I bought a seat on the second floor! A cup of tea, some snacks, and refills of tea were provided.

The coffee shop on the first floor downstairs can rent WIFI, so you don't have to worry about your phone running out of battery while waiting or taking photos

100 deposit, two hours is free, if you exceed the time limit, it will be 2 yuan a day, which is still very cheap

I have done my best to shoot with my phone. The scene is really shocking. At that time, I felt that the two-hour wait was worth it! !

Today's theme is Cowboy Legends. My position is pretty good, right in the middle, front row.

The fireworks were really beautiful! After the fireworks were set off, everyone applauded for a long time and was very excited to see them.

Forgive me for not being able to say more praises, it is definitely worth the trip, everyone who comes to Changsha must come and see it!!

By Onion Dumplings |

Special reminder: 1. During the fireworks show on Saturdays, Orange Island will be closed at 18:00, and the Orange Island Subway Station and Xiangjiang Middle Road Subway Station will be closed at 18:00 until the end of operation. Therefore, the chaos and congestion at the end of the fireworks show is comparable to Beijing's evening rush hour. It is recommended that you take a motorcycle to other subway stations to take the subway; 2. There are chairs for rent on the riverside for 20 yuan per person. It is recommended to sit on the opposite side of Orange Island with red lights, so that you will be facing the fireworks. It is also recommended to buy seats in the front row, preferably around 19:00, otherwise they will be gone. There will be a lot of people at the fireworks show starting at 20:30, so it is recommended that you don't wear too much, because the human wall is both windproof and airtight; 3. I watched the fireworks in early September, and the weather was still very hot, so it is recommended to prepare plenty of water; 4. I later learned that each fireworks show has a theme, and it is recommended to search for it on the official website if you are interested.

Finally, I have to admit that the photos were downloaded from the Internet. The photos taken with the mobile phone are really horrible. I can only post them on WeChat or something. I see that the effects of Huawei and Apple cameras around me are not very good, so this is quite a consolation.

By ♪·Giselle |

I waited for an hour and a half and spent 60 yuan to buy three seats. The most important feeling was that I was tired and my waist was broken. It was hot. The fireworks were okay, but maybe they were far away. There was no shocking feeling. Oh, and there was no music.

By Puff Chick |

When I was planning my trip, the Orange State fireworks party was already on my itinerary. But the hotel friends organized it together. When we arrived at 8 o'clock, there were already crowds of people. We walked for a long time before we found a place to stand. The fireworks lasted only half an hour. It was so beautiful! It felt like the whole sky was filled with fireworks. There were also aerial cameras tracking it. This was the most beautiful and largest fireworks I have ever seen. The only regret is that I can't capture that feeling with my mobile phone. It really feels like I missed the opportunity to bloom if I look away.

By psy-Miss Problem |

Regarding this fireworks display, it is set off every Saturday from 8:30 to 8:50 during the peak season in Orange Island, Changsha (it will be suspended in rainy and other bad weather conditions). The best viewing point is mainly Du Fu Jiangge. There are actually several ways to watch it:

1. Like us, come to Du Fu Jiangge in advance to reserve a seat. This is probably the most popular choice. Some aunties and uncles will sell you old newspapers to spread on the ground for you to sit on. It costs 1 yuan per piece, which is not cost-effective. We found a cardboard, which is thicker and more comfortable. This view is still quite painful. First, the weather in Changsha is too hot, second, the ground is very hot (covering the face), and third, you have to wait for a long time, because there are basically no good seats at 7:30. So friends who plan to watch the fireworks this way should at least bring their own newspapers, and it is best to bring their own small stools, and then be able to endure the heat and loneliness, bring mobile phones and headphones to cache programs, movies, etc....

2. Wait at Du Fu Jiang Pavilion. I saw many people going up to the Du Fu Jiang Pavilion to watch the fireworks, but you have to buy tickets in advance before the ticket sales stop. If you wait until 8:30, you will probably be up there after 6:00.

3. Someone has blocked off a spot near Du Fu Jiang Pavilion and along the Xiangjiang River and put beach chairs there. They cost 20 per person and are more comfortable to sit on. At least they are not too hot.

4. Take a cruise on the Xiangjiang River. The boat will set out before the fireworks and stop on the river during the fireworks. You can enjoy the fireworks on the cruise. It is probably not cheap.

5. When we were walking along the Xiangjiang River, we passed by some restaurants. You can watch the fireworks from the window seats or the rooftop seats. The view should be very good, but they are very tight and you have to make an appointment in advance. There is also a minimum consumption. For example, a large table on the rooftop without air conditioning but with a good view costs 298.

By Where is the dust |

It's Saturday night now and it starts at 8:30. It's set off right opposite the Du Fu River Pavilion. It's pretty nice, but there are so many people, it's too crowded. After the show, you can't get on the car and have to walk back to the hotel. You can take a boat to the middle of the river to watch it. I suggest you try it.

By Scholar's spirit |

Every year from May to October, Changsha will set off fireworks on Orange Island every Saturday, and it is free, so try to arrange to be in Changsha on Saturday. The fireworks are set off every Saturday night from 08:30 to 08:50, and last for 20 minutes. It is really worth seeing.

The best place for the Orange Island weekend music and fireworks show is on the right side of the Du Fu River Pavilion. The left side has a wave-breaking forest that affects the view. If you want a good viewing angle, you must go early, but it is also very annoying to stand in the crowd for a long time, especially in hot weather, and you almost get heatstroke.

After the fireworks show, traffic control was implemented on the entire bank of the Xiangjiang River. The streets were full of people. There were no means of transportation at this time, and one had to walk to Wuyi Avenue to take a bus, so it was a wise choice to stay near Du Fu Jiangge.

For detailed guide, please visit my home: http://www.mafengwo.cn/u/shushengyiqi.html

Please refer to my travel notes "Where are the people behind the pearl curtains and painted buildings? I travel alone along the Yangtze River in autumn (a four-day complete journey through Yueyang, Changsha, Wugong Mountain, Shangrao, and Nanchang)"

The fireworks were really great. They started at 8 o'clock and people started to gather at 6 o'clock. It was very local. There were rows of white chairs on the embankment. I thought the Changsha Municipal Government was so considerate, but it turned out that they charged 20 yuan each time. I didn't want to spend this money, so I just squatted in a corner. It turned out that I couldn't save this 20 yuan, because many people think so, and you will be squeezed and don't know where to go. It's not right to stand or sit. I feel sorry for myself. I finally took a few photos, but they were accidentally deleted. Woohoo

In the autumn when flowers bloom, at night in Xiaoxiang, the beautiful scenery of Juzhou is like a painting on a screen. In the green smoke, under the bright moon, the small boat has just stopped fishing. The water is my hometown, the sails are my tents, and fish soup and rice are my regular meals. The cups are full of wine, the shelves are full of books, and fame and fortune are not my concern.

By <·)Tropical fish≦ |

The fireworks were amazing, wonderful and beautiful, but the traffic was so congested after the show, and the buses couldn't move at all. I should have walked home.

By 蓮人 |

The locals said that this is for outsiders to see. It seems that it is on Saturday night. If it rains, it will be cancelled. Everyone knows that Liuyang is famous for its firecrackers. As the provincial capital, it is not surprising to set off fireworks. Warm reminder, the fireworks are similar to those seen during the Chinese New Year, but be careful of thieves!

As soon as I arrived in Changsha, I heard from my Didi driver that the fireworks show was cancelled and boring. Then, we happened to hear a bang on the way upstairs to the Youth Hostel. I was excited and ran to the rooftop on the fifth floor to watch it. Although it was a bit far, it was still quite interesting.

The fireworks were great. I went there early with my friends to wait. When night fell, I turned around and was scared to death by the crowds of people. The sense of presence was very strong. It was a great enjoyment for 20 minutes.

We arrived at Du Fu Jiangge two hours early. We didn't expect that the Orange Island weekend music and fireworks show was so popular that we arrived so early. As a result, the best viewing spot we had chosen yesterday was already overwhelmed by the crowds waiting early. But the fireworks were really beautiful, so beautiful, it was simply breathtaking!

When I was traveling in Changsha during the anti-fascist holiday, there happened to be a Saturday. I took a taxi to the other side of the river at night and watched the fireworks show on the walkway along the river. The fireworks were pretty good, but it was raining, so the smoke from the fireworks dissipated very slowly, which obscured the colorful flames. But the viewing angle was good and everything was clear.

My Saturday in Changsha is so luxurious...

Originally, fireworks were set off every weekend in Orange Island, but later on, due to air pollution, fireworks shows are only held on special holidays. The shows bring together the world's top fireworks designs, which change according to different holidays. Whenever fireworks are set off, the riverside is crowded with people, creating an extremely romantic atmosphere.

The fireworks are particularly gorgeous, but there will be a lot of people on Saturday, so you need to go early and get a good spot.

From May to October every year, fireworks are set off on Orange Island every Saturday. It is really worth seeing, very beautiful and dreamy. The best place to watch the fireworks is around Du Fu Jiangge, and you must go early to grab a seat. There are people selling newspapers, which can be bought and spread on the ground for one yuan each. There are also people selling stools, which are 15 yuan each, which is a bit expensive. I arrived about an hour and a half in advance, and waited until the flowers were all withered. The fireworks lasted for half an hour, which was very beautiful and unsatisfactory. When the show ended, there were a lot of people, it was very crowded, and the two nearby subways were closed, so you have to be patient (⊙o⊙)! In short, it is worth seeing. I caught up with the last show of this year. The fireworks have a theme every week!

It may be because of the time I went there. I went to school for a long time and would go home during the period, but I couldn't help missing it. In recent years, I have not had any interest in watching fireworks. After leaving the Orange Island Park, my friends and I waited on the bridge until we saw it. Although there were not many colorful patterns, it felt very beautiful and left a deep impression.

It is so beautiful, you must go and see it. You don’t have to sit by the river. It’s too tiring to queue up and walk out after the view.

1. The fireworks are beautiful, but I think what is more beautiful is watching the fireworks across the Xiangjiang River. The silence of the river coupled with the gorgeous fireworks is different from the beauty of ordinary fireworks.

2. The fireworks display will be held every Saturday night from 08:30 to 08:50 and will last for 20 minutes.

3. Although the fireworks start at 8:30, people have already started to occupy good viewing spots at around 6 o'clock, and the place is almost full at 7 o'clock, so it is recommended that you go early.

4. There are chairs by the river, 15 yuan each, and there are also people selling newspapers, one yuan each. Many people buy newspapers to put on the ground.

Every year from May to October, it’s on Saturday nights from 20:30 to 20:50, and the start and end times are very punctual. We set out from Pozi Street after dinner at around 6 o'clock, and arrived at Du Fu Jiang Pavilion early at around 7 o'clock to grab a favorable terrain. (There are already many people standing by the observation deck on the bottom floor of Du Fu Jiang Pavilion, and the steps of the waterfront platform on the right are all full of people. At the same time, I also found some people on the boats on the riverside. I guess only VIPs can go up there to see = =). Thinking that there was still some time before the start, we took a walk to somewhere else to take a look. As a result, when we came back, Du Fu Jiang Pavilion was already crowded. The place that was an empty space just now was now full of people. Later we found out that this time we went to see should be the second to last fireworks show of the year, so there were so many people. In addition, the traffic on Xiangjiang Middle Road was basically paralyzed. Many people got off the bus on the road to watch the fireworks. I wanted to go to the top of the Orange Island Bridge to watch it, but before I got to the bridge, I could already see that the bridge was full of people. I had no choice but to watch it from the back of the Xiangjiang Observation Deck. The unpleasant thing was that there would be leaves and branches blocking the view, so the shorter fireworks would not be visible. In fact, I have seen quite a few fireworks shows, but they didn't feel too intense, and the climax was in the last minute or two. Compared with the fireworks in Ergang on the first day of the Chinese New Year, it was still slightly inferior. In fact, I later discovered that the best viewing location should be Yuelu Mountain in Hexi, or Wanda Office Building on the Xiangjiang River and other hotel river view rooms, which have a better geographical location and are not crowded. In general, this fireworks show has added a lot of highlights to this trip to the Star City!

It's really nice. Each fireworks display has a different theme. It's only open from May to October.

The fireworks were beautiful and lasted a long time, but I felt that there were not enough types of fireworks. And I don’t understand how they deal with air pollution. I’m curious.

This year's fireworks display will be held every Saturday night from May 1st to October 31st, as well as on the three major holidays of New Year's Day, New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, for a total of 30 fireworks throughout the year.

If you want to see it, it is best to find a good spot in advance. There are usually a lot of people by the river. Friends who like photography can choose a nearby high-rise building, which will allow you to take good photos.

The fireworks here are super awesome. We rented a lounge chair and sat there to watch. It lasted for about an hour. It was really beautiful.
