Some people are unwilling to be lonely. There were "civil fireworks" in the urban area of Kowloon to see the old and the new for two consecutive nights. The police did not find them after arriving at the venue.
Yesterday (31st) at 11:40 late at night, a reporter from "Hong Kong 01" directly hit a civil fireworks display at Carpenter Road Park in Kowloon City. The fireworks rose to half the height of a nearby building. The sound of "" lasted more than 1 minute.
