At the entrance to warehouses, vehicles wait to transport fireworks for export.
According to Changsha Customs data, in the first 11 months of this year, Hunan exported 4.11 billion yuan ($579.26 million) of fireworks and firecrackers, accounting for 61.2 percent of the country's export value of fireworks and firecrackers.
Liuyang Yihelong Trade Co Ltd exports over 500,000 boxes of fireworks via various transportation methods, including sea and land routes, every year.
Peng Xuejun, the company's general manager, said Liuyang's fireworks are renowned globally for their cutting-edge technology, which attracts many foreign clients.
Peng said his company's fireworks boast bright colors, diverse styles and unwavering quality.
The fireworks industry has brought wealth to Liuyang, employing nearly 300,000 people from the entire supply chain in the city.
In a bustling plant of Liuyang Dingteng Fireworks Co Ltd, workers are busy producing fireworks for overseas orders.
As global demand for Liuyang's fireworks grew, trade talent flooded the industry around 2008.

With the acceleration in innovation of domestic fireworks enterprises in recent years, especially the wide variety of small fireworks, China's fireworks are leading the trend globally.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic and geo-economic headwinds have created operational difficulties and slowed business growth for many industries across the world in 2022, fireworks producers in China saw soaring overseas orders as demand rebounded in both developed and developing markets.
As "the world's fireworks capital", Liuyang — which manufactures more than 60 percent of the fireworks for global markets — saw its exports surge 84.9 percent on a yearly basis to 6 billion yuan ($885 million) in 2022, statistics from the city government showed.
"After exporting 400,000 boxes of fireworks in 2022, we are still holding more than 200,000 boxes of overseas orders in hand, thanks to the rebound of the European market," said Peng Xuejun, president of the export unit at Liuyang Yihelong Fireworks Group Co Ltd.
He said that major festivals and national events in overseas markets, such as Christmas, military parades and diplomatic activities, are the main drivers pushing fireworks orders to his company.
For instance, major foreign cities, including Sydney, Bangkok, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas, all held various forms of fireworks displays on New Year's eve of 2023, according to information released by Liuyang's fireworks business association.
To ensure the safety of production and transportation, many companies in Liuyang have invested heavily in upgrading their production lines and warehouses with more digital tools in recent years, said Kong Xiangquan, deputy director of Liuyang's fireworks development center, a part of the city's bureau of fireworks management.
With these changes, large and small parts of various fireworks can be automatically filled and assembled at their factories, said Kong.
In addition to exporting fireworks products, Liuyang's fireworks display services have also gone overseas.
Many companies in Liuyang have been receiving service orders for fireworks displays in foreign countries, he noted.
Li Wei, head of the overseas business unit at Liuyang Fengxin Fireworks Co Ltd, said that before the final lighting, the company's engineers, designers and workers need to customize the fireworks display related to themes based on client requirements, while arranging for the production of the corresponding products.
"After completing the preparations in China, we will ship the products and display equipment, as well as organize technicians to go to the site to install the equipment and display the fireworks," said Li, adding the company has conducted several large-scale projects in overseas markets including Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates since last year.
