Hong Kong authorities are looking into allegations fireworks were illegally set off during a wedding photo shoot on top of a mountain in a country park, amid public concern over the risk of sparking a blaze in the area.

The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department on Friday said it had taken action to warn residents about relevant laws after a video of the newlyweds went viral on social media the day before. The footage showed the pair posing for wedding pictures at Tai Mo Shan with a person behind them holding a lighted firework.
