明年起，外环以内将禁放、禁售烟花爆竹 - 2015年12月31日

SHANGHAI is banning fireworks within the Outer Ring Road from tomorrow in a bid to curb air pollution, according to a regulation approved by the city legislature yesterday.

The only exception is for some special occasions when the city government will temporarily adjust the restricted areas and periods, according to a supplement to the new regulation.

The new rule also bans fireworks across the entire city on days of severe air pollution.
