An exhibition on China's first manned space mission has been rescheduled to run overnight when it opens in Hong Kong on Saturday.
Local residents have responded enthusiastically to the free exhibit. Space lovers had to wait for two hours in long queues to get tickets.
All the 60,000 tickets were gone by Wednesday afternoon.
The exhibition will coincide with the visit of China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, to Hong Kong, which will kick off on Friday.
