Shenzhen celebrates Chinese National Day with mesmerizing drone-performing light show

Shenzhen City in south China celebrated the upcoming Chinese National Day, which falls on Oct 1, with mesmerizing drone-performing light show, featuring majestic tapestry made by over 10,000 drones against the dazzling skyline.

With a theme of "City in the Sky, with Great Possibilities," the show started at 20:30 on Thursday. A total of 10,197 drones slowly took to the air and lit up the night sky over Shenzhen Bay Park, making up different formations, a breath-taking blend of high technology and art.

The enchanting and vibrant displays attracted many residents and tourists to enjoy, who eagerly captured images of the drones forming various patterns, including a roc spreading its wings and iconic city landmarks.

The drone light show also set two Guinness World records: one for the most drones controlled by a single computer at the same time, and the other for the most drones involved in a light show, according to the event organizer.

According to the organizer, drone shows will be staged at five different locations for seven consecutive days during the National Day holiday from Oct1 to 7, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, adding luster to the festivity.

U.S. stocks ended lower on Tuesday as climbing U.S. Treasury yields continued to weigh on investor sentiment.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 322.24 points, or 0.65 percent, to 49,363.88. The The Standard and Poor's 500 sank 49.44 points, or 0.67 percent, to 7,353.61, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index shed 220.03 points, or 0.84 percent, to close at 25,870.71.

A primary source of downward pressure came from the fixed-income market. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed back above 4.6 percent, while the 30-year Treasury yield nearly touched 5.2 percent, marking its highest level in nearly 19 years.

The high-yield environment acted as a drag on high-valuation growth sectors, which are particularly sensitive to elevated interest rates. Six of the 11 primary The Standard and Poor's 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with materials and communication services leading the declines by dropping 2.27 percent and 1.58 percent, respectively. In contrast, the healthcare sector gained 1.09 percent and the energy sector advanced 1.03 percent.

Market participants are also focusing on Wednesday's upcoming after-hours earnings release from Nvidia.
