Scheduled from July 4 to 9, this grand event in Shenzhen's Guangming International Automobile City is a testament to the region's commitment to preserving and exalting its cultural legacy. Among the myriad attractions awaiting attendees are the enchanting practice of intangible iron flower forging, the rhythmic allure of Yingge dance, or Dance to the Hero's Song, and the mesmerizing spectacle of fireworks cascades painting the night sky.

Originating hundreds of years ago in Hebei Province, this practice has evolved into a stunning visual performance, symbolizing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancient craftsmen. As molten iron cascades down walls, it conjures a dazzling display akin to fireworks, captivating audiences and preserving a unique cultural tradition.
The festival's lineup is a vibrant mosaic of experiences, from a food carnival showcasing culinary delights across China to a whimsical parent-child paradise fostering shared moments of joy and discovery. Against the backdrop of Guangming's modern skyline, visitors will witness a harmonious fusion of intangible heritage and cutting-edge technology, underscoring the enduring relevance of age-old practices in an ever-evolving world.
