Yenshuei Fireworks Festival 2010 Photo Gallery
The Yenshuei Fireworks Festival (Yenshuei Fong Pao) is a festival held in the Yenshuei township in Southern Taiwan every year. During the festival millions of fireworks are shot out of large hives into crowds of revelers dressed in heavy clothing and full-face motorcycle helmets. Each hive may contain as many as sixty thousand fireworks. If proper safety precautions are taken, the activity is not very dangerous. However, each year some people are injured. To learn more about this festival, read my post Standing in the Fireworks.
Below is a gallery of pictures from the 2010 Yenshuei Fireworks Festival. You can navigate the gallery using the thumbnails, by clicking on the image, or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
