The story

Jinshan City Beach International Music Fireworks Show in Jinshan City Beach/Shanghai

Jinshan City Beach International Music Fireworks Show stages a music-synchronised fireworks competition at Shanghai's only constructed seaside beach, typically around the May Day holiday, bringing together fireworks teams from established Chinese production centres like Liuyang and Pingxiang alongside international pyrotechnic teams. Recent editions add intangible-heritage performing arts, including a fire pot show and a flying fish kite display, around the main fireworks programme.

Shanghai's only real seaside beach, a constructed stretch of sand at Jinshan City Beach roughly an hour from the city centre, is an unlikely setting for a fireworks competition, which is precisely what draws crowds who otherwise associate Shanghai with its skyline rather than any coastline.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

A genuine competitive format between established Chinese fireworks-producing regions, rather than a single municipal display, sets this apart, and the beach setting itself is unusual for Shanghai, a city more associated with its skyline than any coastline

02

The mystery stays covered

The addition of intangible-heritage performing arts, a fire pot show blending fire and water effects, and a flying fish kite that moves with the music, gives the event cultural content beyond pyrotechnics alone, and past editions have drawn international teams from Spain and Brazil into direct competition with domestic fireworks producers
