Check out this special way of welcoming the Spring Festival,"Da Tie Hua", which literally means to spray melted iron into the air. The old tradition dates back some 2,000 years in Shanxi province as a way to celebrate Spring Festival and scare away demons.

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.
