Ever wondered who paints the sky during New Year’s Eve? 🌌 Meet Liuyang, the unsung hero behind 60% of the world’s fireworks! Nestled in the heart of the Chinese mainland, this city blends 1,400 years of tradition with cutting-edge tech to create dazzling displays that light up global celebrations.
Liuyang’s artisans—nicknamed ‘sky painters’—craft everything from shimmering sparklers to AI-powered light shows. 🎆 CGTN reporter Xu Yi recently explored their workshops, where ancient recipes meet drone choreography. ‘It’s like blending calligraphy with coding,’ one master pyrotechnician told her.
With exports booming and eco-friendly innovations reducing pollution, Liuyang’s spark isn’t fading anytime soon. Next time you gaze at a fireworks-filled sky, remember: there’s a story behind every burst. ✨
