Suzhou Times Square: Worlds Largest LED Screen

Time Square in Suzhou has the largest LED screen in the world. The screen is over 500m long and spans from one end of Time Square crossing a street to the other end of Time Square. I have been looking forward to seeing this marvel in action. I have been to Time Square during the day and was not able to see the screen turned on and I have also been to Time Square at night and did not see the screen turned on.

Well, Friday night we decided to have dinner at Time Square. We arrived just before 7:30 pm and noticed quite a few people outside sitting down and looking up. It seems that they were all waiting for something to happen. And then it did. Over the loud speaker a voice announced that the show was about to begin. All of a sudden, the screen went blue. A few advertisements begin to appear on the screen. After the advertising finished, the show began. It started with fireworks on the screen and then it showed some beautiful flowers and clouds. It then had a small tribute to the new year with all the animals from the Chinese horoscope, dragons, and of course the ox. It was an incredible site to see! I feel lucky I actually took my camera with me this day. Below you can see a few beautiful pictures of the screen. The first one is from the east end of time square and the second photo is from the west end.
