A show performed by over 800 drones and fireworks illuminated the sky over Wulanmulun Lake in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Saturday evening to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the International Children’s Day.

Crowds of visitors were intrigued by the stunning activity when the dazzling sparks ignited the night.

The show adopted advanced technologies to improve the staging and achieve smoke-free discharge for environmental protection purposes.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday to commemorate ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). Celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the festival falls on May 31 this year.

Hundreds of drones created a pattern of a “dragon boat” to reflect the theme of the festival.

The International Children’s Day is celebrated on June 1 every year.

As the Children’s Day falls within the 2025 Dragon Boat Festival holiday running from May 31 to June 2, the show also displayed the images of the Chinese Young Pioneers, a national organization for children.
