With iron melting in pots reaching temperatures of up to 1,600 degrees Celsius, professional workers spray the scorching liquid into the air producing a shower of spectacular sparks that seem like fireworks.

It looks like fireworks, but it's not! "Da Tie Hua" literally means spraying molten iron into the air.
