Talk:60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China/evening gala

National Day Evening Gala
On the evening of October 1, a music concert was also held in Tiananmen Square, involving fireworks. Media reports earlier predicted that the fireworks presentation would be "double the firepower of the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony".

From 20:00 to 22:00 on October 1, 2009, the National Day Evening Gala and Fireworks Display at Tiananmen Square was performed and covered live on CCTV. The National Day Evening Gala was a series of many patriotic Chinese songs performed live with hundreds of dancers and a stunning fireworks display overhead. The Evening Gala lasted 2 hours and was performed at night.

 * 1) Prelude: My Motherland
 * 2) Chapter One: Great Motherland
