At 8 pm on Oct 1, as night fell in Ordos, 1,000 drones took off vertically over the city's Ulan Mulun Lake, kicking off the celebration of this year's National Day.

The drones arranged themselves into breathtaking formations presenting awe-inspiring displays against the backdrop of the night sky. These included a fluttering national flag, flying doves symbolizing peace, a majestic soaring dragon, and the towering Monkey King. These remarkable aerial performances evoked a sense of excitement and wonder among the audience.

After the drone show, there was a fantastic fireworks display. The fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into beautiful shapes and colors, like blooming flowers. Some sparkles flew like shooting stars, while others fell like golden waterfalls.

The splendor had visitors lost in illusions of the dream world. That night, the fireworks formed a dragon shape along the bank of Ulan Mulun Lake, making it feel like our dreams were being sent to the stars.

The tranquility of the night sky was restored as the performances gradually ended. However, the fervent spirit of patriotism continued to burn brightly in every heart!

These performances form an integral part of the festive celebrations and serve as a source of inspiration, instilling determination in the people of China to overcome all challenges and bravely march on our collective journey towards constructing a more brighter future for our motherland.
