Liuyang, renowned as China's fireworks capital, etched its name into history on October 17 with a Guinness World Record-setting fusion of drone technology and pyrotechnics. Nearly 16,000 synchronized drones painted the night sky over Hunan Province, forming a luminous 650-meter-tall tree and a cascading flower that left spectators in awe.
The groundbreaking display, watched by millions both in person and online, underscores Liuyang's evolution from traditional fireworks manufacturing to cutting-edge cultural innovation. Weekly Saturday shows have transformed the city into a must-visit destination for tech enthusiasts and cultural travelers alike.
Local authorities describe the event as a "love letter of light" celebrating human creativity. The spectacle not only broke records but also demonstrated how China's cultural industries are blending heritage with modern technology to create global attractions.
