Week 2 - Spent fireworks, Jinqiao

We arrived back in Shanghai on the fourth day of the new year of the Rabbit, and on this night the Chinese set off fireworks to welcome the Fortune God.  I find this an incredible oxymoron, because fireworks are not given away cheaply, and effectively in order to welcome the Fortune Gods for the new year, they burn their existing money.  These are the remnants of a firework display that would have probably gone for about 8 mins with a series of loud bangs, pretty fireworks and some fire balls.
