🕖 Showtimes (every night): • 19:00–19:30 (sunset slot) • 21:00–21:30 (prime-time slot)

🎭 What to expect: • Hundreds of synchronized drones painting the night sky over the water stage • Live cultural performances between shows — Hanfu parade, Tianshan Feixian (heavenly fairy dance), flower boat shows, and 天女散花 (heavenly maiden scattering flowers) • Non-heritage fire arts: 打铁花 (iron-flower fireworks) and water fire-pot (水上火壶)

🎟️ Tickets: ¥29.9 early-bird (regularly higher at the gate). Free for kids under 1m and seniors 65+. 📍 Venue: Gankeng Ancient Town scenic area (water stage), Longgang District 🚇 Transport: Closest metro is Buji Station (Line 3/5) + bus / Didi. About 40 min from downtown Luohu.

⭐ Tips: • Arrive 30–45 min before the 21:00 show for a good viewing spot by the water • Combine with a half-day exploring Gankeng's Hakka heritage streets (lots of snacks and craft shops) • Outdoor venue — bring a light jacket in case of evening breeze

⏰ Final show: June 21, 2026 — don't miss it!

This is a ticketed scenic-area show, not a citywide free event. The huge citywide 1.2万架 (12,000-drone) shows at 人才公园 happen only on major anniversaries, but Gankeng runs this nightly through Dragon Boat Festival weekend.
