Hundreds of drones created a dragon in the sky for the celebrations of the Dragon Boat Festival (June 22 ) in China.

The impressive video was filmed in the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province on June 18.

The 1,500 drones, intricately controlled and impressively coordinated, crafted a shimmering "flying dragon" in the inky sky above the city. Many spectators whipped out their smartphones to capture the moment.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday which occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.

The holiday serves as a tribute to the legendary poet Qu Yuan, with celebrations encompassing vibrant dragon boat races and the enjoyment of traditional sticky rice dumplings known as zongzi.
