Chinese Community today celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival with traditional gaiety despite ban on firecrackers and fireworks under emergency regulations.
Holidaymakers taking advantage of fine weather flocked to public beaches and resorts in large numbers. Thousands boarded trains at Tsim Sha Tsui for outings and picnics in new territories.
Cinemas, nightclubs and other public places of entertainment report good bookings.
Tonight large crowds are seen going up to high vantage points to "appreciate the moon" - a traditional practice by Chinese in celebration of festival.
The continued quiet situation in colony set mood for the festival celebration which was marred only by finding of four bombs.
