5 Reasons to Celebrate CNY at Universal Beijing Resort

We Saw Fireworks!
This
controversial topic has sparked much discussion in online forums and the
local media over the years, but despite the furor, the Beijing
government remained steadfast to the local ban on fireworks this CNY.
This comes as little surprise since fireworks are prohibited and
outright banned in over 400 cities nationwide. In the capital city,
fireworks are a rare sight these days.
That’s what made our
viewing of Universal Beijing Resort’s Nighttime Magic at Hogwarts
Castle show so special last Friday night (Feb 9) – we got to see
fireworks light up the night sky at the end of the thrilling ten-minute
video and lights show! It was a splendid moment that garnered enchanted
oohs and ahhs from the crowd. We’re guessing this is a limited-time
exclusive considering there has been no other fireworks at the park
aside from the Christmas and New Year’s show, so make sure you come
during this CNY festival for the best chance at catching some fireworks
in town!
The Nighttime Magic at Hogwarts Castle show starts from
sundown, typically after 6pm these days, and runs every 30 minutes until
8pm.
