On June 29, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian posted on his personal Weibo, recommending the "2025 Graduation Season Fireworks Gala staged at Liuyang Sky Theater," giving a thumbs-up to Liuyang fireworks.

On June 28th, Liuyang Sky Theater transformed into a dazzling sea of fireworks, presenting an unforgettable "Blaze of Youth" gala for university and high school students across the country.

The "Kunpeng," symbolizing grand aspirations, transformed into fireworksand soared skyward. The breathtaking double-layered, seven-colored auspicious cloudsinstantly ignited the passion of the entire audience.

Subsequently, upgraded versions of the Golden Tree, flowers showering the sky, and blue waterfalls burst forth in succession. Meanwhile, 3,000 drones formed creative aerial displays such as "Long River with the Moon," "Journey Through Time and Space," and "Lush Years," appearing one after another, creating a truly dazzling spectacle.

The spectacular fireworks lighting up the sky also bore witness to heartfelt emotional confessions. Ji Yilin, from Zhuzhou, came with her middle school classmate. They specifically chose this gala as a graduation memento. "We're using these fireworks to celebrate our precious friendship," she said.

In recent years, Liuyang has actively promoted the "I Love You in Liuyang" urban confession season, striving to build itself into both the "World Capital of Fireworks" and the "World Capital of Confession." This Graduation Season Fireworks Gala is a direct extension of this romantic theme, allowing students to experience the power of youth and love amidst the fireworks.

The "Burning Dreams of Youth, Heading Towards Mountains and Seas" Graduation Season Fireworks Gala, held at the Sky Theater, is not only a microcosm of the deep integration between "fireworks and cultural tourism," but also a vivid illustration of the high-quality development of Liuyang's cultural tourism industry chain.

Through the deep integration of "fireworks + cultural tourism," signature events like the "Weekend Fireworks Show" and "Guofeng Fireworks Gala" attracted over 3 million tourists throughout the year. Multiple topics such as "#LiuyangFireworksBigMoves" topped Douyin's trending list, and celebrity visits from Yang Mi, Yang Zongwei, and others further amplified the "influencer effect." In 2024 alone, Liuyang was featured in nearly 50 reports by central media.

Just recently, Liuyang fireworks once again featured on CCTV. On June 14th, CCTV's Urban Elegance Changsha episode premiered. CCTV hosts Sa Beining and Zhang Shuyue, alongside Professor Yang Yu from Central South University's Chinese Department, formed the "Elegance Group." They ventured into Liuyang's fireworks world, uncovering new technological innovations and the ultimate romance of the "hometown of fireworks."

It's not just in Liuyang itself; popular fireworks like "Gate of the Sky" and "Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds" have transcended regional boundaries, becoming a standard feature for firework displays at scenic spots across various locations. International clients are also seizing the opportunity when ordering in Liuyang to observe and learn about the creative arrangements and presentation styles of Liuyang fireworks.

The cross-sector integration of the fireworks industry has not only boosted cultural tourism consumption but also propelled the fireworks industry chain towards a more high-end and creative upgrade.
