Shogun Website featured in Next Magazine - Hong Kong!
Flipping through the locally published Next Magazine, we found our Shogun website featured in one of their articles about fireworks! Roughly translated, it is mentioned that fireworks are illegal in Hong Kong, but it is legal in the US and Europe. Before you go there to legally shoot some fireworks, you can click and view the videos of the fireworks on the Shogun website before buying. The website lists all the countries the fireworks are sold including opening hours - very convenient.
