National Day: how to live the eve to the fullest

The eve of National Day is hard to beat for atmosphere. People flood the streets, music echoes everywhere and the city feels like one big celebration. It's one of the most festive moments of the year.

The fireworks, the highlight

The fireworks over the valley are a classic everyone waits for. Scout a good spot in advance with your friends so you're not stuck behind the crowd. Once it starts, look up and enjoy.

Move smart

Given the crowds, free public transport is your best ally for getting in and out. Set a clear meeting point with your group in case you split up. With that many people, it happens fast.

Stay in the festive spirit: it's a night to celebrate together, sing and dance. Keep good energy and respect those around you, that's what makes the moment cool for everyone.
