Step into the neon-soaked world of Chongqing, where this year's Spring Festival Gala sub-venue transformed tradition into a futuristic spectacle! From dragon dancers leaping through laser grids to folk singers backed by holographic mountainscapes, the city's sub-venue proved why it's THE hotspot blending old and new China.
Hot Take: The opening act? A kinetic performance where 300 local artists merged chuanjiang haozi (boatmen's chants) with EDM beats – think ancient river vibes meets Coachella energy. Drone swarms later painted the night sky with giant pandas and fiery hotpot cauldrons (yes, really!) that had viewers texting '' in real-time.
Behind the glitter: Crews worked 72-hour shifts to rig the Yangtze River with floating LED stages. 'We're showing Chongqing’s soul – its fog, mountains, and non-stop momentum,' shared choreographer Li Xia during a baozi break. Pro tip: Watch for the subway-dance sequence – it’s going viral in 4K!
