Storyline: Many cities across China have integrated smart robots and drones into festive performances during the ongoing National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which runs from October 1 to 8, infusing the celebrations with a vibrant touch of technology. In the tech hub of Shenzhen City in south China's Guangdong Province, smart robots will, after night falls, transform into dancers to perform the Yingge dance, a popular form of folk dance in Guangdong that merges opera, dance and martial arts. A group of humanoids with extremely flexible joints will cut dashing figures when they play the complex Chinese choreography "Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva." During the holiday season, there is also a humanoid robot performing a popular dance, with its agile movements inspiring many children to enthusiastically join in. "I find the robot quite agile, especially its feet and hands. Dancing alongside the robot brings me joy," said Gan Zixuan, an audience member. The drone performance on Wednesday night in Guangzhou's Zhongshan City captivated both locals and tourists. The spectators were left in awe by the grand and dazzling show with more than 1,000 drones presenting images of festive elements in the night sky. A similar drone show was also held in Huanggang City's Huangmei County of central China's Hubei Province to celebrate the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, offering breathtaking visual feasts for residents and visitors alike.
