A stunning drone light show in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on Tuesday night successfully clinched the Guinness World Record for the aerial image formed by most drones.

The record-breaking technological and artistic display, titled "Charming Chongqing," showcased the spectacular natural landscape, profound cultural heritage and vibrant urban landscape of China's mountainous metropolis with a super-large-scale drone formation.

The Guinness World Records certification authority confirmed that its scale far exceeded that of other regular drone performances in the country and is also exceptionally rare globally.

"Today, the target to beat was 10,197 drones. The final validated count was 11,787 drones, which successfully broke the existing record and set a new Guinness World Records title," said Hou Ying, a Guinness World Records certification officer.
