Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo screened in China
The spectacle is enhanced by visual touches such as projections onto the walls of Edinburgh Castle, spectacular fireworks and laser shows. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, also paint the sky with the iconic British national colors of red, white and blue by releasing smoke trails.
"Rather than simply being a series of military musical performances, the Tattoo is a comprehensive display by each country, one after another. During the 90-minute show, you will be able to experience the art and culture of each country, which is highly satisfying visually, aurally and emotionally," theater practitioner Cui Hao says.
Since its debut in 1950, the Tattoo has been held every year throughout August on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, a famous Scottish landmark and historical site.
According to the Tattoo's official statistics, the event has been sold out for the past 20 consecutive years, with each year attracting around 220,000 onsite spectators and a TV audience of over 100 million.
