The inaugural Twin Hills Drone Festival is currently taking place at Shanghai Expo Culture Park, the former site of the 2010 World Expo. The event explores the deep integration of cutting-edge technology with urban culture and tourism, while also promoting the development of the low-altitude economy.

The festival runs from March 28 to April 19, allowing residents and visitors to get an up-close look at various low-altitude aircraft, including electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Attendees also have the opportunity to experience operating drones under the guidance of professionals.

The opening ceremony of the drone festival was held on March 28, featuring humanoid robots from Unitree Robotics performing alongside a coordinated drone aerial formation in a high-tech dance performance.
