In Nuanquan Town, Yuxian County, north China's Hebei Province, the intangible cultural heritage performance "Dashuhua" is spectacularly staged. Dashuhua, which means striking tree flowers, is a local art form in Yuxian County that originated in Hebei Province 500 years ago and has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage in China. The inheritor splashes molten iron heated to over 1,000 degrees Celsius onto the ancient city wall, instantly producing tree-crown-shaped sparks. Fire trees and silver flowers light up the ancient fortress at night, creating a magnificent and dazzling spectacle. #coolchina #intangibleculturalheritage #china 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
