Fireworks light up Macao

To celebrate its tenth anniversary of returning to the motherland, Macao staged its biggest ever fireworks play Sunday night.

The whole show lasted for 20 minutes, with fireworks shooting into the night sky from 7 locations scattered across Macao. One of the launch sites was on the Macao Friendship Bridge. The 3.4 kilometer bridge made a spectacular stage for the show.
