Recently, China held a massive celebration at Tiananmen Square to commemorate it’s 60th year of communist rule. And of course, there were fireworks and lots of them. Orchestrated by Zhang Yimou (director of the critically acclaimed House of Flying Daggers), this fireworks display is bigger and better than ever. Even the ones at the Beijing Olympics 2008 shrink back in fear when compared to these.

The awesome fireworks start at 0:43.
