Where to watch the fireworks

It doesn't really matter where you are, if you're in Beijing you're not going to be able to avoid the fireworks. So, if you’re not lucky enough to have a friend living in a high rise apartment with great views of the city, try heading to The Drum and Bell Tower where hundreds of people will gather to let off truckloads of fireworks. One other option is to fork out RMB 2,008 for a party of 5 and head up the CCTV Tower (the one over on west Third Ring Road – not the ultra modern structure going up near Guomao). It’s the tallest structure in Beijing, and is sure to offer amazing views of the pyrotechnical marvel. RMB 2,008 (for 5 people). 10.30pm-12.30am. CCTV Tower.
