A magnificent and impressive light show lit up the night sky in Xi’an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Tuesday night to celebrate the Labor Day.
A total of 1,347 drones equipped with colorful lights rose up to the sky above the ancient city at 20:05 Tuesday. Divided into groups and specific sequences, the drones were aligned in a way to present different images of Chinese characters to honor the holiday and the history of the city leaving the large amount of spectators overwhelmed.
"I'm greatly impressed. I can see how much the technology has advanced, and the splendid achievements brought about by the rapid development of Xi’an," said a local spectator.
Organizers say that the aim was not only entertain visitors on the 3 day holiday weekend, but also to present Xi’an to the world as something more than only a history-honored city famous for its Terracotta Warriors.
