Last year they had a huge fireworks display for the APEC summit, which I missed. I'm not sure the exact reason behind it but they had the fireworks show again this year. The beach area was so crowded you couldn't move. People were really pushy too. In fact I couldn't even get near the sand during the show since it was so crowded. The fireworks shot off from the bridge and from boats lighting up the sky for about an hour. It was a pretty impressive show. People were jumping all over each other and climbing on top of buildings, phone booths, etc, to get a good view. I waited about 30 minutes after the show to leave because the crowd turned into a stamped trying to leave. Afterwards, the beach and streets were left covered in trash!
