Imagine sparks flying like golden rain against a dark sky 🌌—that’s the mesmerizing sight residents and travelers witnessed at Wuzhou’s Canghai Park this week! The ancient art of ‘Datiehua’ (molten iron throwing) illuminated the city with its 1,000-year-old tradition, blending history, culture, and pure visual drama 🎇.
Listed as an intangible cultural heritage, the performance involves hurling molten iron into the air, creating a stunning ‘firework’ effect without explosives. Crowds cheered as craftsmen showcased skills passed down through generations, proving that ancient traditions can still set social media feeds ablaze 📸💥.
Hosted in the eco-friendly Canghai Park—a green oasis praised for its lakes and forests 🌳—the event highlighted how urban spaces can celebrate heritage while promoting sustainability. The park, dubbed the city’s ‘oxygen bar,’ has become a hub for cultural events that connect young audiences with China’s rich past.
