To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the "Forever Following the Party" light show was staged on two sides of the Huangpu River at the Bund and the Lujiazui area on Wednesday evening.
The six-minute light show was divided into four chapters and featured modern high-rise buildings and historical structures lit up in different colors alongside displays of Party slogans and symbols.
The lighting was designed to complement the musical pieces that were played. They include The Internationale, the national anthem, and The Ode to the Red Flag.
