Empire building;red and yellow;China's 60th anniversary

New York's iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow on Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of People¡¯s Republic China.

The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the flag colors of China until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.

The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark "Old Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra's death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick's Day.
