The opening ceremony of the 2025 Hainan Island Carnival took place on Saturday evening at Haikou's Funbay waterfront area. This year's carnival intends to blend technology and culture into a month-long, island-wide summer extravaganza.
Saturday's ceremony opened with a French soprano singer, dubbed the "Floating Diva", performing atop the water in a luminous, umbrella-shaped gown, her operatic melodies echoing across the bay. Above, drone light formations painted the night sky with dynamic patterns, while parades with a "Happy Sea Walk" theme brought vibrant energy to the streets.
