366 thousand fireworks were set off over the Westlake and the canal at the same time. The total number of audience reached 1.545 million. It was the first attempt to combine the professional set-off and civil set-off.
Hangzhou 2009 West Lake International Fireworks Festival had many “first attempts”. It was the most widespread and largest event in the 11th Westlake Expo.
The splendid fireworks would be impossible if we didn’t have those 45 thousand staff members who sweated in the work. On the morning of December 1, Hangzhou Party Committee and Hangzhou government held an awarding ceremony concluding the fireworks show. On the ceremony, some advanced individuals and units were praised. According to the survey, people felt very satisfactory with this year’s fireworks, the satisfaction rate was above 90%. The common wish of Hangzhou people was that the fireworks could be set off simultaneously over the Westlake, Canal and on the Qiantang River. |
