The Brilliant Moment To Welcome 2011

During the first moment in year 2011, brilliant fireworks lighted up the skyline of Ipoh. Crowds gathered at Kinta City Shopping Center's roof top car park to witness the welcoming celebration of new year. When the moment zero hour reached, explosions in the sky cheers everyone. People at the roof top could enjoy a 270-degree view around the city and witness the flowery fireworks at different corners of the city, among those, government origanized fireworks at Greentown Ipoh Square (Dataran Ipoh) and Indera Mulia Stadium were the largest and longest. Although viewing from Kinta City was quite far, its beautifulness still amazed the audience. Nevertheless, the nearest firework explossions by nearby pubs shocked the crowd and won the applause.
