1. The 1 October 1997 was the first National Day since the return of Hong Kong to China. The celebrations included fireworks in the evening. The weather was fine and dry. It was a busy time for hotels particularly for those which afforded a view across the harbour of the firework display. The Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay was no exception.
