Jimsar County in Xinjiang celebrated the Lantern Festival with a high-tech twist on its traditional carnival Shehuo performance. A team of nearly 3,000 performers paraded through the streets as humanoid robots joined as special "lead dancers" and drones carrying dragon and phoenix props soared overhead. The fusion of ancient folk arts with modern technology created a stunning spectacle, breathing new life into cultural traditions and highlighting how heritage can inspire community progress.
