In a breathtaking display, Luoyi Ancient City in Luoyang, Henan Province, recently staged the now-viral “Fairy Scattering Flowers” performance.
The performer is suspended gracefully in the air, clad in flowing traditional garments and releasing cascades of bright peony petals as they spin and leap to classical music.
The performance, rooted in ancient Chinese aesthetic traditions, draws from the long history of Luoyang as the city of peonies and poetry. And there couldn’t be a more perfect setting: Luoyi Ancient City features a rare architectural blend of northern and southern Chinese styles, from whitewashed walls and black-tiled roofs to its iconic small bridges and canals, reminiscent of Jiangnan water towns.
