The amount of fireworks sold in Beijing during the Spring Festival holiday sharply decreased compared with last year, the Beijing Morning Post reported on Monday.
About 370,000 packs of fireworks were sold during the period, down 35 percent year-on-year, the report said.
The sale of fireworks in the capital this year started on Feb 5 and ended on Sunday at midnight, as required by the Beijing administration of work safety.
The authority also launched a three-day campaign to collect unused fireworks from residents, who will be compensated with gifts.
