The Spring Festival is coming soon. It is Chinese tradition to set off firecrackers during this period. Recently a firecracker company in Shenyang held a firecracker exhibition where people can learn the relative information about firecracker.

The colorful package of these firecrackers in the exhibition hall makes a holiday atmosphere. This year, Shenyang Firecracker Company prepared firecrackers worth 20 million yuan. Over 1000 kinds of firecrackers are available in the market, 300 kinds more than those in last year. Most of them are made in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hebei provinces, which are the so-called "hometown of firecracker," and some are local products. As for the price, firecrackers are cheaper than those last year while fireworks are almost the same.

To meet customers' different demand, the firecracker company purchased over 300 new kinds of fireworks. Among them, fireworks about monkey are the most popular because this year is the so-call year of the monkey. Meanwhile, since consumers prefer the firecrackers which sound loud and clear, the company specifically designed such products.

It is suggested that consumers should go to firecracker exclusive agencies to choose qualified products. The operation instructions should be read carefully before firecracker is set off.
