To celebrate the 69th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong's annual National Day Fireworks display was held in Victoria Harbour on Monday. 

The fireworks display consist of eight scenes under the theme of "Unity and Harmony". Highlights include the fourth scene "Magnificence", featuring a colourful flower bouquet, butterfly and bee patterns to symbolise Hong Kong’s beautiful scenery.

In the fifth scene, "Light of Dreams", the elements of smiley faces and heart patterns hidden in the firing shells will appear immediately after colourful fireworks.

The fireworks display reached its climax in the last scene "Achieving Greater Success", with fast and rhythmic fireworks resembling golden crowns at different levels, and wishing the motherland a prosperous future.
