A total of 500 illuminated drones put on a spectacular light show in Hanzhong, in southwest China's Shaanxi Province, to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival. The colorfully lit drones formed illustrations of kids, flowers and even star trails.

These drone light shows have wowed people and become a new type of public display in China, as an alternative to fireworks. Chinese drone companies have been using hundreds of drones to light up the night sky for dramatic light shows. The most significant one featured more than 1000 illuminated drones, setting a new Guinness World Record.
