Chongqing drone light show sets new Guinness World Record

Set against the backdrop of the breathtaking city skyline, 11,787 drones lit up the night sky over Chongqing on Tuesday, setting a new Guinness World Record and creating a surreal spectacle over the river. The drones formed an array of stunning images and motifs, including an enormous camellia and several iconic landmarks, which attracted tens of thousands of onlookers.

The drone show set a new Guinness World Record for the largest aerial display ever created by multi-rotors and drones. It first stunned audiences at the CMG Spring Festival Gala in January, and has since grown in both scale and duration, giving visitors the chance to experience it in person.
