Chengdu’s night sky transformed into a dazzling canvas this week as 1,000 synchronized drones painted scenes from ancient bronzes to futuristic pandas . The show, held above the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, blended Sanxingdui’s 3,000-year-old bronze masks with playful modern motifs like glowing Chinese characters and a dynamic dragon that seemed to dance across the stars .
Locals and tourists alike snapped Instagram-worthy moments as the drones shifted formations to live music, part of a city-wide Lunar New Year celebration featuring light displays, concerts, and cultural showcases. One visitor tweeted: 'It’s like Cyberpunk 2077 met traditional China—mind blown !'
