The Chengdu High-tech Zone in Sichuan province hosted a Lantern Festival event on Tuesday evening, placing local talent and enterprises at center stage in a fusion of tradition and cutting-edge technology.
Among the highlights was a light show on the 52,000-square-meter LED screen of the iconic twin towers of the Tianfu International Financial Center. Created in collaboration with short-video platform Kuaishou's AI model, Keling, the light show consisted of seven holiday-themed chapters that unfolded on the 218-meter twin towers' facades.
Slogans from nearly 50 enterprises in the zone were projected onto the towers, making the companies the stars of the show.
Another highlight was a concert featuring songs written and performed by employees from the zone's electronic information, biomedicine, digital economy, and future technology sectors. In collaboration with AI, they debuted six songs inspired by their work and daily lives.

"It's amazing to stand on such a big stage and sing songs from our own industry," said a singer in a five-member group from the biomedicine sector.
Humanoid robots participated in every process of the event, from guest reception to dancing alongside human singers.
In a creative job fair, 28 companies hung lanterns above their booths. Job seekers could scan a QR code on a lantern streamer to view positions and submit applications instantly.
A speed-dating activity used AI matching and interactive games to help 80 single young adults forge connections.
Local officials said the event was part of the Chengdu High-tech Zone's broader efforts to develop the youth economy. Through creating relaxed and engaging communication platforms and new social scenarios, the zone aims to help young people build successful careers while enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.
