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.

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.
