Down south/In the south/South,

In the north, they send thousands of sky lanterns into the night sky, creating a beautiful and peaceful scene of lights floating up toward the heavens. Down south, millions of firecrackers are set off in the streets.

Is it proper to replace "Down south" with "In the south" or just "South?" Thanks.
