HONG KONG – Hong Kong will hold a 23-minute fireworks display at the Victoria Harbor on Oct 1 to celebrate the 68th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

The National Day fireworks display will have eight scenes with each one having its unique theme

The Hong Kong Commerce and Industry Associations (HKCIA) announced Wednesday that it will organize the fireworks display. Pyro Magic Multi-media Productions Ltd will produce it.

Chairman of the Hong Kong Commerce and Industry Associations Lo Kam-yam, who also chairs the fireworks display organizing committee, said the National Day fireworks display will have eight scenes with each one having its unique theme and fireworks synchronized to different background music.

The eight themes include "Set Sail," "Sail on," "Victorious Hands," "Journey" and "Love in Hong Kong," among others.
