Achievements since Zhuhai officially became a city in 1979 will be projected on Zhuhai Opera House's exterior walls tonight, March 5, in concert with fireworks and a laser light show. An impressive formation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and flash mobs will bring the grand celebration to a climax.

Boats operating first-class laser projectors will be anchored around Xiangzhou Port on Central Lovers Avenue as fireworks burst over the water. The display will be produced by the team that was behind the presentation of Zhuhai as the sub-venue of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for 2018. The visual effect team responsible for the 2019 Gala's parallel session in Shenzhen will execute the display according to a preset design.
