Imagine a city where the sky lights up year-round—not just for holidays, but as a way of life. Welcome to Liuyang, the Chinese mainland’s undisputed 🎇fireworks capital🎇, crafting 60% of the country’s pyrotechnic exports. From the dazzling bursts over Washington D.C. on the Fourth of July to Cambodia’s Water Festival, Liuyang’s creations are the silent stars of global celebrations.
But this isn’t just about explosions. For over 1,400 years, Liuyang has blended ancient techniques with cutting-edge tech. Think drone light shows synchronized to music, eco-friendly fireworks reducing environmental impact, and designs so intricate they could rival a TikTok filter. 💥"We’re artists, not just manufacturers," says local artisan Zhang Wei, whose family has been in the trade for generations.
Behind the sparkle lies a $2 billion industry fueling jobs for over 300,000 residents. And as demand grows for bespoke displays (yes, even proposals now come with custom pyrotechnics!), Liuyang’s mix of tradition and innovation is proving that some flames never die out.
