The Beijing Chaoyang International Light Festival continues through November 10 offering residents and visitors a journey through light and shadow with a series of light installations.
One of the festival's biggest highlights is the immersive light artwork "Tree of Life" (above) that centres around the Olympic Sports Centre Arena.
The overall light design connects iconic landmarks, including Olympic Green, the Olympic Tower, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, and the National Speed Skating Oval, creating a visual string along the northernmost point of Beijing's Central axis.
The "trunk" connects the Central Axis with the main venue, while the "crown" is woven from vibrant light artworks, nurturing "fruits of life."
The artwork aims to interpret the enduring vitality of the city's cultural heritage and the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind.
This year's festival features the theme "AI in Chaoyang," emphasising international characteristics, technological innovation, and cultural ambiance.
The festival is high-tech, with many artworks incorporating online platforms, digital avatars, AR experiences, the metaverse, and interactive robots.
France and Australia are among the countries featured in a festival that the festival that features almost 300 cultural and sports performances, including food markets, concerts and heritage displays.
