Huzhou’s Taihu Ancient Town became a kaleidoscope of color and sound as China’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations kicked off in 2025. Thousands gathered to witness jaw-dropping fireworks, molten iron firework displays by water jetpack performers, and immersive light shows synchronized to music—a fusion of tradition and tech that left crowds buzzing. 🎇
Ancient Town, Modern Magic
The historic riverside venue transformed into a futuristic playground, blending lunar festival traditions with high-energy performances. Think: dragon boat races by day, neon-lit drone formations by night. Locals and travelers alike snapped selfies under lantern-lit streets, while food stalls dished out mooncakes with a twist—matcha-filled, anyone? 🥮✨
Why It’s a Big Deal
This year’s dual holiday—a rare overlap of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival—marked China’s longest public break of 2025. For young professionals and students, it’s the ultimate recharge moment. And for culture buffs? A front-row seat to how China’s blending its rich heritage with Gen-Z flair. 🌕🇨🇳
