It’s my first time to go to such a fun place

1.5 hours direct access to Guangzhou🧨This treasure town is so festive|||📸 Video shooting location: Dingnan Hakka Ancient Town 🎏 Fish Lantern Parade 🗓️ Time: 19:30-21:00, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month 📍 Location: Dingnan Hakka Ancient Town 🐟 Types of fish lanterns: red carp lanterns, golden carp lanterns. With lights and drum beats, the fish dragon dance at night is lively and exciting! 🏨 Dining and accommodation recommendations ✔️ There are B&Bs to choose from in the ancient city. I stayed at the Cidihuakai.Pula Hotel ✔️ You can also choose to stay in Dingnan County, which is about 15 minutes’ drive from the ancient city ✔️I ate at Feng He Ju restaurant these two days. The food is very fresh. Hakka dishes are spicy. If you like light food, you need to communicate with the store to use less spicy food. 💡 Tips: It is recommended to arrange a return trip in advance during the holidays, especially at night when it is difficult to get a taxi. Please plan ahead! 🔄 Fish Lantern Parade Route City Gate ➡️ City God Temple ➡️ Wenchang Well ➡️ County Office ➡️ God of Wealth Temple ➡️ Ancient City Square ➡️ Return along the way ✨ Features: You can check in at different prayer sites during the parade to add good luck to the new year! 📷 Best photo spots The streets and alleys are suitable for capturing the lively New Year atmosphere; The high point of the ancient city is very suitable for photographing the grand scene of fish and dragons parading, and the lighting effect is very good. 💡 Tips for playing Fish Lantern 1️⃣ If you want to get a good shooting position, get to a high point in advance; 2️⃣ Parents with children should be aware of the crowds and narrow roads in the ancient city. 3️⃣ If you want to make it more interesting, you can experience the making of fish lanterns in the ancient city in advance, or choose to rent fish lanterns. The price varies according to the size, and there are many shops that provide rental services; 4️⃣ You can join the parade, participate in the fish dance or play gongs and drums, and experience the interactive New Year atmosphere! 5️⃣There are many interactive points in the performance. You can check the performance schedule of the day to see which one you are more interested in. 6️⃣ There are fewer people in the ancient city during the day and it is very chill. When the weather is good, it is very comfortable to drink a cup of coffee and bask in the sun In the new year, I hope I can go to more beautiful places. See more beautiful scenery of the motherland This Spring Festival, come to Dingnan to experience a fish dragon lantern dance that combines tradition and excitement🎊
