National Anniversary
FACHỈ CHINA
Above: An exhibition in Beijing highlighting China's progress during the past
60 years featured a blooming bauhinia and showcased Hong Kong's major economic and social developments since reunification in 1997.
Left: Officials and leading members of the community attend a flag-raising ceremony in Bauhinia Square, Wan Chai, marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China.
A synchronised fly-past by Government Flying Services helicopters towing the National and HKSAR flags and a sea parade by disciplined services add to the pomp and
pageantry of the occasion. Flag-waving citizens (below) turn out in large numbers to watch the ceremony.
