Liuyang, Hunan Province – The night skies above China's fireworks capital transformed into a mesmerizing canvas this week as Liuyang unveiled its latest spectacle: a synchronized dance of drones and pyrotechnics. The November 2025 display, visible across the city's riverfront, saw thousands of glowing drones form shifting geometric patterns that erupted into cascades of colored fire, blending cutting-edge technology with centuries-old tradition.
As the birthplace of modern fireworks manufacturing, Liuyang has invested heavily in smart pyrotechnic systems that reduce environmental impact while increasing precision. This year's show introduced AI-powered trajectory coordination between drones and fireworks, creating three-dimensional light formations previously unimaginable in open-air displays.
The event coincides with Hunan Province's push to position itself as a hub for cultural innovation. Local officials emphasize that such displays attract both tourism revenue and tech investment, with Liuyang's fireworks industry reporting a 17% year-on-year increase in export orders following last year's aerial showcase.
