Imagine a Saturday night by the rivers, with thousands of LED drones dancing above the water… 😍🚀 That’s the vibe at Chongqing in the Chinese mainland, where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet.
Launched earlier this year, this free drone light show has become a must-see event every Saturday and on major public holidays. Over 1,000 GPS-guided drones form dazzling displays of the city skyline, famous landmarks, and interactive animations celebrating Chongqing’s rapid growth.
One highlight is the tribute to the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a mega trade route boosting cargo flow between the Chinese mainland and global markets. If you're into tech and travel inspiration, this is next-level storytelling in the sky.
On a recent Saturday, a Hungarian think tank delegation from the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation joined the crowd.
The drone show is so vibrant…It reflects the dynamism and energy that I can find in China✨
Beyond the tech wow factor, the waterfront buzz is real. Street stalls selling spicy Chongqing xiao mian and local snacks add extra flavor to the night. Pro tip: arrive early, grab a bowl of hot noodles, and stake out your spot for the best view.
Whether you're a local, a digital nomad, or on a bucket list adventure in the Chinese mainland, this drone spectacle is too good to miss. See you on the riverbank? 😉
