Most newspapers in Beijing still feature the Meningitis vaccinations being given to various Beijingers today. But Beijing Daily Messenger pays more attention to the dangers of fireworks.

In order to ensure an accident-free Chinese New Year, police in Beijing’s Daxing County destroyed lots of illegal substandard fireworks worth more than four hundred thousand yuan. As the big picture on the Daily Messenger’s front page shows, many peasants paid a visit to the remains of the fireworks to pick up remnants that could be sold. They did not realize how dangerous it can be!

The big black headline is: There will not be enough parking space near temples on Chinese New Year Day.
