World’s fireworks hub in China’s Hunan stages high-tech fireworks

Known as the world’s fireworks hub, Liuyang, a county-level city in central China’s Hunan Province, recently staged a spectacular fireworks display that seamlessly integrated the city’s millennia-old firework craftsmanship with modern digital technologies.

The firework-making craft in Liuyang is a national intangible cultural heritage. Traditional fireworks are considered low in technological content, with simple launching methods and effects.
