Here we go again this year. It would be interesting to see if this event makes it into the coming fireworks movie "Passfire".
The festival, known as Feng Pao, is celebrated on the 15th day after the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
The most important of Yanshui's prominent fireworks are the so-called "bee hives", essentially multiple launchers of bottle rockets. These rocket forts are actually thousands of bottle rockets arranged row atop row in an iron-and-wooden framework. The setup looks like a beehive full of unleashed gunpowder. When the contraption is ignited, rockets shoot out rapidly in all directions. Dazzling explosives whiz and whirl across the sky and often into the crowd itself, both thrilling and intimidating the spectators.
