A giant national flag was flied in the sky by two hot air balloons during the festival. The event was held to replace the annual fireworks display amid the city’s efforts to accelerate the post-pandemic recovery.

Apart from the 1,800 sq.m. national flag, the festival covered numerous activities such as powered paragliding performance, parade of boats, lion dance, and so on.

According to the organizing panel, thousands of visitors took part in the festival.

The People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some images of the event.
