I was in Hong Kong a couple of years ago on July 4th and they had amazing
fireworks over the water there. Are there any fireworks here in Shanghai this coming weekend?

If so, where?

Thanks for your time.

Fireworks in HK on July 4th? You mean July 1st (Change of colonial masters day, or whatever they call it) I guess. I remember they used to have parades, and fireworks on July 1st. Nowadays they still have the parade, but it's busier at the demonstrations against the government actually.

In Australia, we love to celebrate July 4th. Where would we be without those Americans to look after us.

We let off fireworks, drive around in our 8 litre Petrol guzzling vehicles and just start shooting each other. It's great.

God Bless Americania.

It would be an absolute tragedy if the Chinese did not celebrate America's national day. An Absolute TRAGEDY.
