Central China's city of Liuyang, dubbed the "hometown of fireworks," staged a special edition of its Saturday night fireworks show on Dec 28 to celebrate the upcoming New Year.
Since 2023, the city has been routinely holding fireworks shows on Saturdays to boost tourism, attracting over 5 million spectators so far. Over 100,000 spectators gathered for the end-of-the-year special at Liuyang's Sky Theater on Saturday.
The hour-long spectacle of creativity and brilliance lit up the night sky with over 10,000 fireworks that reached heights of over 300 meters. The show also used 1,000 drones to launch 1,800 blue fireworks in midair to mimic a meteor shower.
For a special feature in the last show of the year, organizers collected 2,025 wishes and launched them to the sky with 2,025 lantern shape fireworks, wishing people a happy New Year in 2025.
Liuyang has been actively developing its fireworks industry in recent years, introducing new standards for fireworks products, emphasizing environmental performance and innovation. LiuYang has pioneered the development of eco-friendly fireworks, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the industry while maintaining the stunning visual effects that have made the city famous.
