🚀 China’s Tianzhou‑9 cargo ship lifted off from Hainan on July 14, 2025, carrying a record 6.5 ton payload to the Tiangong space station. As it pierced the pre‑dawn sky, the Long March 7 rocket created a stunning ‘space jellyfish’ cloud, lighting up social feeds, before the uncrewed freighter docked a few hours later to deliver supplies, spacesuits, experiments, and life‑support equipment to Shenzhou‑20’s crew. • • • #space #rocketlaunch #watchthis #spacelaunch #tianzhou #rocket #astronauts #tminus #incredible #fypageシ #fürdich #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp

Yes, these are real butterflies and no, they are not tied to the string or the stick 🦋 In parts of rural China, locals have found a simple way to attract real butterflies using just a piece of white paper tied to a stick. By gently waving the paper, they mimic the fluttering motion of another butterfly, causing the insects to follow. It’s all based on visual movement. 👇🏼Would you wanna try?👇🏼 • • • #princess #disney #butterfly #butterflies #disneyprincesses #uncle #chineseuncle #butterflyeffect #viralvideos #wholesomemoments #nature #animals #chinatiktok #trendi #xyzabc #蝴蝶 #fyp #foru #fypag #movie

Shanxi province in China has earned a fitting nickname, the “Sleeping Province.” The tradition of wujiao (午觉) the “midday sleep”, stretches back centuries. Ancient texts like the Huangdi Neijing highlight midday rest as essential to maintaining balance and preserving our health. Today, surveys have confirmed that in provinces like Shanxi, 60% of people engage in habitual afternoon naps. Across age and profession, the nap culture shapes daily routines. Students in some schools are even given dedicated nap periods with mats or folding beds provided and even office workers and shopkeepers comply, powering down briefly in the early afternoon. 👇🏼 Isn’t this the perfect place to live for those who like afternoon naps? 👇🏼 • • • #wholesomemoments #funnytiktok #naptime #sleep #sleepyday #onlyinchina #hilariousvideos #funfacts #DidYouKnow #napculture #chinaa #chinese #viralvideos #unbelievable #siesta #fyp #foryoupagee #trendiing

Da Tiao (打挑), also known as Da Ge or Da Wu (打歌/打舞), is a traditional group dance from Yunnan’s Yi ethnic minority, with roots stretching back over 3,000 years. Originally performed around bonfires during weddings and festivals, it combines music, chanting, and collective movement to celebrate community and identity. Today, the dance is going viral on platforms like Douyin, where locals break into spontaneous public performances the moment they hear the beat often lifting stools, buckets, or whatever’s nearby as part of the routine. • • • #dancer #yunnan #dancing #public #publicdance #funnymoments #wholesomeplottwist #onlyinchina #ethnicdance #hilariousvideos #memestiktok #fyp

China has officially unveiled its next-generation maglev train at the 12th UIC World Congress on High-Speed Rail in Beijing in July 2025. Developed by CRRC Qingdao Sifang, the train is designed to cruise at 600 km/h (373 mph)—a speed comparable to that of commercial jets. Once operational, the maglev is expected to reduce the journey time between Shanghai and Beijing from the current 4.5–6 hours to just 2.5 hours, covering more than 1,000 kilometers across some of the country’s most densely populated regions. The maglev prototype was first rolled out in Qingdao in 2021 and has since undergone testing at a dedicated track in Shanghai’s Tongji University and in low-vacuum tubes near Datong. By using magnetic levitation, the train eliminates traditional wheel-track friction, allowing for ultra-high-speed travel with minimal resistance. Although a specific launch date has not yet been announced, experts suggest that the technology may be commercially deployed by the end of the decade, pending safety certification and infrastructure development. Once in service, it would mark a major leap in China’s high-speed rail ambitions, setting a new benchmark for ground-based transportation. • • • #train #maglev #breakingnews #technews #trainspotting #trains #highspeedrailway #boeing #boeing737 #techtok #chinanews #chinatech #hs #hs2 #foryour #fyp #foryoupagе

China has officially launched the world’s first commercial 10G broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province. Developed in partnership by Huawei and China Unicom, the fiber-based infrastructure delivers download speeds of up to 9,834 megabits per second and upload speeds of 1,008 Mbps, with latency as low as 3 microseconds. Enabled by cutting-edge 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) technology, this system allows users to download a 20GB 4K movie in under 20 seconds. Unlike 5G mobile networks, the “10G” here refers to 10 gigabits per second of wired internet—marking a major leap in fixed-line broadband. Experts say this upgrade will support emerging technologies like 8K streaming, virtual reality, smart homes, and industrial automation. While confusion online has led some to mistake this for a successor to 5G, tech analysts clarify that 10G is a separate development in optical fiber internet—not a generational leap in mobile data. #5g #10g #internet #internetspeed #technology #chinatechnology #technews #huawei #chinaunicom #xyz #download #xhs #foryoupage #f #viral_video

In 2015, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang finally lit his ‘Sky Ladder’, a 1,650-foot glowing pathway of fire, suspended in the sky by a helium balloon. But this wasn’t just any spectacular artwork. It was a deeply personal farewell. After more than two decades of failed attempts, Cai’s dream came true just in time for his 100-year-old grandmother to witness it who watched the entire firework over FaceTime as she was too frail to attend in person. Unfortunately, she passed away a month later. Cai Guo-Qiang, born in Quanzhou, China, is internationally known for his pioneering use of gunpowder and large-scale explosion events that blend performance, sculpture, and painting. He’s the artist behind the fireworks at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and his work often explores the tension between destruction and creation, the earthly and the cosmic. ‘Sky Ladder’ was no exception. Cai first conceived the idea as a child and tried to realize it in three earlier locations: Bath, UK (1994), Shanghai, China (2001), and Los Angeles, US (2012). Each time, plans were derailed by bad weather, technical complications, or post-9/11 security restrictions. But he never gave up. On June 15, 2015, in his hometown of Quanzhou, Cai launched the piece in secret at 4:49 a.m. The artwork lasted just over two minutes, rising slowly into the sky like something out of a dream. But for Cai, that fleeting moment was everything: a quiet, poetic act of love for the woman who raised him. A year later, the world would come to know this story through the Netflix documentary ‘Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang’, but at its core, this wasn't a global spectacle. It was a grandson's final gift. • • • #wholesome #heartwarming #grandmasoftiktok #farewell #emotional #fireworks #storytime #DidYouKnow #caiguoqiang #artist #hanszimmer #emotionalvideos #f #蔡国强 #fypageシ #foryoupagee
