Earth Hour first started in 2007 in Sydney, and many cities around the world followed its lead in the following year. By the end of 2024, more than 190 countries and regions participated (参加) in it. From 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on that day, many cities in China, such as Beijing, Dalian, and Hangzhou, also took part in the activity. It seems to be a dark world when the lights are turned off.
