Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour dazzled on Tuesday evening as 1,200 synchronized drones painted the sky with vibrant displays celebrating the upcoming 15th National Games of China. The aerial spectacle, organized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, showcased dynamic formations of the Games’ mascots, athletes in motion, and landmarks from the Greater Bay Area, symbolizing regional unity and sporting excellence.
Held ahead of the Games’ opening in 2025, the event highlighted Hong Kong’s role as a co-host alongside Macao and Guangdong. The drone show’s choreography emphasized themes of innovation and cultural pride, with crowds gathering along the harbor to witness the 15-minute display. Local officials described it as a "prelude to a new era of collaboration" under China’s national sports strategy.
The National Games, last held in 2021, will return this year with expanded events and digital integration, reflecting China’s focus on technological advancement in sports. Analysts note the Games’ growing economic impact, particularly in boosting tourism and cross-regional infrastructure projects across the Greater Bay Area.
